The Education Team develops and runs presentations, seminars, and workshops with the intent of informing and inspiring Club members to develop their photography skills. The aim is to provide access to a wide variety of learning opportunities from beginner to advanced level photographers. In recent years topics have ranged from essential photography skills, such as exposure and focusing, to specialized tools and techniques, such as astrophotography, post-processing workflow, or lighting a still life.
 

Club members can check the Event Sign-up page (click here).   Upcoming presentations, seminars, and workshops are also announced at the regular Tuesday evening meetings. 

Usually, the presentations and workshops are delivered by club member volunteers who have specific areas of photographic expertise; sometimes external presenters are invited to share their knowledge. For most presentations and workshops, no fees are charged except in cases where there needs to be cost recovery for materials, such as a workshop on mat cutting, for example. Most presentations, seminars, and workshops run for an hour or two, with some extending to a half day or whole day events. There is usually at least one presentation, seminar, or workshop each month from October to May.

The Social Team acts as a welcoming committee to Club members and visitors at the regular Tuesday meetings.  They organize occasional flea markets throughout the  year.

The team also organizes two major events: the Christmas Party and the Annual Awards Banquet.

The Christmas Party is an informal, fun evening which includes door prizes, “humour” and “best shot” competitions.

The Annual Awards Banquet is held at the end of the regular Club season in May.  It includes the presentation of both photographic and volunteer awards, and some fun activities.

The New Members Group's goal is to offer new members support and provide introductions to the RA Photo Club’s many areas of activities and programs. By participating in the New Members Committee meetings, your knowledge of the Club will be improved and allow you to foster a friendship with other new members.

Regardless of your skill level, joining a photography club or returning after a period of absence can sometimes be intimidating. We intend to alleviate concerns that you might have by acting as a bridge to our Club. We offer a wide variety of opportunities that you can pursue to further your interest in photography. Regardless of your level of photographic experience, we hope to make your membership as rewarding to you as possible. As you learn, explore and contribute you will greatly benefit from being a member of the RA Photo Club.

Our New Members meetings are scheduled for one hour prior (6:15 p.m.-7:15 p.m.) to the RA Photo Club’s general meeting on a bi-weekly basis. (See the Home page, bottom, right corner for the meeting topics).  Typically a short free-flowing question and answer period is followed by the introduction of a representative who presents a particular facet of the Club. An example of this could be the Urban Group where their types of activities are outlined along with any scheduled events and showcases, and perhaps a display of works from previous outings, workshops or lectures. The representative would then be available for questions.
