Photography Group
We are a self-directed group of AOPR members who create, enjoy and explore photography as both art and form of expression. We share our enthusiasm and curiosity about photography through activities open to all members of AOPR.
Events
Themed Meetups
We set a theme every other month and invite our members to create and upload images on that theme. These images are visible to all for comment and inspiration. Then we meet - usually online - to discuss selected images, beginning with a lightening round of five minutes for a single image from each attendee. We pick a new theme for the next session in two months time.
