The West Texas Photographic Society (WTPS) is a group of photographers ranging from hobbyist to professional. We exist to promote the enjoyment of photography and to enhance the creative ability of the Abilene photographic community.
We meet monthly for fun and the sharing of information and expertise with one another. Bimonthly print competitions help sharpen the members’ photography skills. On the alternate months, the club conducts workshops, directed by either members or guest presenters. 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.
Regular club outings promote deeper relationships and allow us to explore different photographic specialties and subject matter. Past destinations have included the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Caprock Canyons State Park, Fort Chadbourne, the Abilene Zoo, wildflowers in central Texas, the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, light painting at Fort Griffin, and numerous other locations.
We meet on the third Thursday night of the month at 5:30 at the Center for Contemporary Arts. Meetings are open to the public and guests are always welcome.
You do not have to be a paid member to attend our monthly meetings. All of our meetings are free and open to the public. We also encourage everyone to bring a friend. In order to participate in the image competition and exhibit your photos in the annual WTPS photography exhibit, you must be a paid member. Annual membership dues are only $20 per year.
