Hi,

What should I bring to my first meeting? And is this a free club?

Thanks!

WilliamMarch 1, 2010 - 11:35 pm

Just bring yourself and your camera, the first visit is free, after that our membership is 50$ for the year :)

First meeting is the 3rd Monday of the month at the GP Museum :) at 6:30pm

Thank you for your interest in our Photography Club.

Are beginners welcome? And 35 mm camera’s OK? Would there be an opportunity to learn to develop photos?

WilliamJune 3, 2010 - 4:49 am

Beginners are always welcome :) ! A majority of our members have a digital SLR camera, I do not know of anyone who still shoots w/ a 35mm, but photography is photography and that type of camera is always welcome.

I am unsure though about opportunities to develop photo’s, are we talking about developing them by hand in a black box?

Our next GP Photography Meeting is June 21st 2010, and we are learning about portrait photography, something I am sure can be both learned digitally and by film :) ! First time is free :) ! I look forward to meeting you, and sharing with you what our club is all about.

I was just wondering if there was an age limit for first time beginners? My daughter is going to be 14 and she really has an eye for taking great photos she wants to get into photography she took it in school nd even her teacher told us to really look into it if she is serious about it… She has a Nikon 5100 with 2 lens so Im sure she should keep up, please let me know so we can come nd see what it is all about, Thank you for your time Shirley and Samantha

WilliamJuly 4, 2011 - 8:54 pm

There is no age limit for first time beginners that I know of, our meetings are the 3rd Monday of every month; we have some junior members too. Our next club meeting is on 18th of July, come check us out as the first visit is free :) !
