Enhance Your Creativity
We exist to promote the enjoyment of photography and to enhance the creative ability of the Abilene photographic community.
Hobbyist or Professional
The West Texas Photographic Society (WTPS) is a group of photographers ranging from hobbyist to professional.
We meet monthly
We meet monthly to share our expertise with one another. The photographic specialties of our members include travel photography, landscape composition, wildlife photography, and portraiture. We always enjoy having guests visit our monthly meetings and encourage them to become an active part of the club.
Bimonthly members-only digital image competitions
Bimonthly members-only digital image competitions are held in order to help sharpen the club members’ photography skills. In the alternate months, the club conducts workshops, directed by either members or guest lecturers. These workshops explore a variety of topics and are designed to increase the members’ knowledge of photographic techniques while encouraging them to advance their own personal skills.

Club outings & photowalks
The WTPS members go on periodic outings together to photograph specific areas and subject matter. Destinations have included the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Caprock Canyons State Park, the Abilene Zoo, wildflowers in central Texas, Texas Forts and numerous other locations. These fun-filled trips allow members to draw from the knowledge and experience of one another, while also helping them to get better acquainted.
We meet on the third Thursday of each month beginning at 5:30 PM
