Our three pillars: to learn, support the community, and have fun.
WHAT WE DO
We meet (virtually!) at 7:00 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month from September to May (except in December when we meet on the 2nd Thursday only). On the 2nd Thursday, we have a guest speaker and a member showcase. The 4th Thursday is competition night, which is a golden opportunity for members to show their work and also to learn about the art of critiquing images.
We offer a variety of activities to our members: workshops, outings, and special interest groups. We also lend our support to community events, promote our members' work, and host exhibits. HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER

While golden hour results in stunning forest photos, there are other times when you should make the most of the lighting. Getting out for a photography shoot in the middle of the day often results in images with harsh bright areas. However, in a forest, the canopy blocks the sun and creates dappled light across the scene. As of July 1st, Alberta has entered Stage 3 reopening Looks like another hot summer day everyone is invited come join in with the company of photographers ~ smiles Barry & Hedy Mufty's Musings (Aboriginal Cemetery)"Sometimes, having limited mobility brings its own rewards.
