Q: Do you offer photography classes for new beginners?
A:  WSPC has featured speakers who often give pointers on improving member’s photography, but we do not offer classes on learning how to use your camera or take photographs.  Several excellent locations in the city offer hands-on photography classes.

Other Questions

Q:  Does WSPC recommend products, services or companies to members?
A:  No.  Under the WSPC constitution, the club is unable to endorse a person or organization including products.

Q: Does WSPC have a forum to sell or buy camera equipment or software?
A:  Members are welcome to send an email to other members letting them know, however, we do not have a buy and sell forum.

Q:  I am involved in an event that I think could be of interest to members.  How do I let them know?
A:  Email the information to the President at wspc.president@gmail.com and the President will let you know if the information will be circulated to members.

Q: I am interested in submitting images in a contest.  What kinds of things should I consider?
A:  You will want to check out the fine print, particularly on whether the photographer retains their rights to the image.  Some contests grant the Sponsor an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual worldwide license to use the photography and its description in any way without compensation or recognition of the photographer or the photographer’s rights, including moral rights.  We would recommend you carefully consider before you give up your rights to an image to a Sponsor in perpetuity.
