Welcome to the New Westminster Photography Club

We are a group of photographers keen to improve our skills through club activities and involvement with other photography enthusiasts. Our members hold a wide range of photography interests and skills and member sharing is an ongoing aspect of the club. Most of our members are from the greater Metro Vancouver area, in British Columbia, Canada. Our club meetings are held in New Westminster, BC on the first and third Tuesdays, from September to early June (meetings vary in December and June). Some meetings are held in person and others using ZOOM or other platforms. Our club activities include educational programs through workshops and speakers, photography outings, and a range of internal and external photography competitions as well as exhibitions in the community.

Join Us! -  New members are always welcomed, please check out Membership Information under About Us.

The surrounding area offers interesting locations to make some landscape images for the theme just a short walk away, including Kilby South Trestle Beach and the Kilby Park
  

Meet up location: Main entrance of Kilby Historic Site (215 Kilby Road, Harrison Mills.) Driving or carpool is recommended. Parking is available right in front of the historic site.

AND, a special treat, if you have time and are interested to continue; our president, Glenn Marcus, will lead us to his secret spots at the nearby Elbow Creek to take long exposure photos.

• Aug 1:  August Theme – Abandoned.  “One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure” is an old saying that will guide this theme. The treasure will be the image you find of something abandoned, unloved, left out in the elements, or cast aside.
