The society, formed in 1966, currently boasts around 80 members and everyone has the chance to exhibit their work which includes a variety portraits, townscapes, travel images and wildlife shots.
Joan Gaffiney, secretary for the exhibition, said "Many different styles and abilities will be on display this year. The society is open to every one of any age across the Fylde and we hope to exhibit the broad range of talent we have in the exhibition".
Also included in the exhibition is the residents' competition open to non-members of the society who, if lucky enough, will not only win the title but also have their photo on display all year at the library.
"Hopefully people will see that they too can turn their hand to photography as it is a very rewarding hobby as you are constantly looking for subjects, improving upon your last photo and encouraging others along the way" added Joan.
Society member Ray Wilson agrees that photography has a lot to offer, "With the digital revolution many people now have access to cameras like never before. Photography is no longer messy or time consuming but is accessible to all with many creative opportunities".
Ray feels the society is an excellent starting ground for anyone wanting to improve upon their skills, "Everyone comments on what a friendly group we are. We have guest speakers, themed nights and a different photographic topic each week".
The society was in decline ten years ago but recently member numbers have risen due to a renewed interest in the subject which many contribute to the sale of cheap digital cameras and camera phones.
"We have also seen lots of new female members join as in the past photographic clubs were largely male dominated." added Ray.
With new techniques and fresh members the society hopes the exhibition will offer a wide selection of different subjects, "Whether they are professional or beginner images there is wide range of different image on display for the public to enjoy!" added Joan.
The exhibition runs the 23 August – 12 September at Poulton Library.
