The St. Albert Photo Club (SAPC) is a non-profit organization that has been in operation since 1994.

Our club is open to people of all ages and skill levels, whether you’re an old pro or you just bought your first camera. Regardless what your “exposure” to photography has been, you’ll find many at the SAPC who share your level of experience. Our members have an enthusiasm for photography, as well as an eagerness to share and learn new photographic skills.

The SAPC meets at 7 pm on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesdays of the month (Sept. to June), at The St. Albert Inn (just ask the reception desk where the meeting room is).

The first meeting of the month is our “guest speaker” night, when someone who specializes in a certain aspect of photography does a presentation of their knowledge and skills. Previous guest speakers have covered a wide range of digital photography topics such as portraiture, nature, travel, and photojournalism.

The second meeting of the month is our “training” night, when you can learn how to use your camera better…or maybe you want to know what steps are involved in using software such as Photoshop, Lightroom or Aperture to touch-up or enhance your photos.

The third meeting of the month is our “competition” night, when members can showcase their talent in our ‘Themed’ and ‘Open’ photo contests.

All the month’s activities are then highlighted in our monthy newsletter, ‘The Last Frame’. Check out our web site to learn more about the club and to view the photo galleries of some of our members. To add your own photo gallery, please contact Barry Oppen (Webmaster).

Visitors and new members are always welcome. You can attend two meetings before paying the annual membership fees to join the club (Annual Membership $40 / After January 1st: $25). Once a member, you may enter photographs into our monthly photo competitions for critiquing and tips.
