We have a wide range of backgrounds with a common hobby, photography. We have a balance of beginners to experienced members. Our emphasis is on the social aspect of photography, the fun element & the things that we learn along the way are an added bonus. Whichever category, we continue to learn more about photography through sharing our knowledge and experience with our fellow members and through the activities in which we participate.
