I started TPW in response to my own desire to investigate the opportunities in the world of travel photography and writing. Many people would love to have the job of a travel photography/writer, but very few are willing to "pay the dues" and learn the craft. Every guy with a camera (GWAC to professional photographers) thinks he can spend $5000 on equipment and immediately start raking in the dough as a photographer. The truth is, it's not about the camera. Give a great photographer a hundred …

Welcome! Come meet other local photographers who also have a love of nature. We plan to schedule a mix of day trip hikes and overnight backpacking to more remote locations. Hikes are generally tough, but will be at a photographer's pace to allow time to compose those great shots along the trail. Once we reach our destination we usually stay on location in order to make the most of golden light and sunset, hiking back under cover of dark with headlamps. Landscape and nature photography is …

This is a group of amateur photographers who want to share their knowledge and improve their shooting, post-processing, and printing skills. Our activities include photo critiques, self-imposed shooting assignments, and member presentations or demonstrations on photographic topics. Topics might include things like: Is RAW better than jpeg? What does the histogram tell me? Why shoot to the right? Where can I get good (bird, cityscape, waterfall) shots? So if you would like to have some pho …

Welcome to the Meetup group for Redmond-based Microsoft photographers. If we spent half as much time taking pictures as we did talking about them, we'd all have quit our day jobs and opened galleries and sold our first million-dollar image. Pictures don't take themselves so stop sitting at your computer and GO OUTSIDE! This Meetup group is open to Microsoft photographers of all badge colors. You'll be asked for your full name or MSFT alias when you join. Give us a day or so to verify your cred …
