FAQ

What is wpgphoto?

WPGphoto.com (Winnipeg photography) is a Winnipeg based web community site for photo enthusiasts from beginners to professionals who enjoy the hobby and want to have fun and take pictures.

The site came about when site creator Dan H. kept meeting and talking to people while out shooting. While talking to these people he noticed a need for a Winnipeg based site where photographers could chat about the hobby, learn from eachother and most of all expose their work for free.


WPGphoto's Mandate:
"To advance the hobby and profession of photography in a comfortable environment."


Who is it for?

This site is for you! If you want a place to upload and show off a gallery of your own work you've come to the right place. Also if you want to learn more about photography with other people who enjoy the hobby, meet people to go for laid back photo shoots or sell old equipment this is also the place!


What can it do for me?

WPGphoto brings together people who share the passion of photography. We host several events a month including free shooting events where several members will shoot together, seminars where you can learn new programs or techniques such as with out studio lighting seminar or the monhtly Photoshop meetings and we also have monthly meetings for members to share their images and to chat in an informal environment.

The most active part of the online side of the club is the forums. On the forums you can chat with several other members about local events and shooting locations as well as techniques and tips, you can also get critiques on your images and participate in monthly assignments.

The WPGphoto.com user gallery of photos is also a great advantage for people who don't have their own web space or photo sharing account. Users can upload images for free in order to gain exposure and get feedback on their images. (However, the galleries are only for people who don't have any other way to show their images online. The best way which will allow you much more space is to join a paid or free a photo sharing site such as www.flickr.com or www.photobucket.com)

Other areas of interest are the localy based links and reviews sections which hold reviews on local merchants and photographers. If you need a photographer or want to give your story about an experience with a photographer do it here!

The turorials area contains tips tricks and of course tutorials for all sorts of techniques. These will give you great new ideas for shoots and help you make better more interesting shots.
