Welcome to The Woodlands Photography Club. We are a group of people who love photography.

From amateur to professional - film to digital - and beyond.

We come together to learn and share from each other and to have FUN!

January Mini Contest

Congratulations to Pam Moore for winning the January contest "Statues in The Woodlands."

Photograph by Pam Moore

A statue has to be one of the most difficult subjects in photography. The majority of the composition is in the statue. A work normally created by another artist.

Pam uses texture, light and color to create contrast, tone, and depth. The result is a new composition and an image that is surprisingly interesting.

Thanks Pam!

Spring Photography Contest

It seems like the Fall 2009 contest has just finished. Time for a rest from the photography grind. Bury that thought with the 2009 economy!

The year 2010 gets off to a fast start with the Spring contest submission scheduled for March 20.

The categories combine the classic and the experimental once again.

Spring 2010 Contest Categories:

1.Open - this is the only category that can be digitally altered
2.Nature – Landscape
3.Black & White – Architecture
4.People – In Motion
5.Technique – Motion Blur
6.Look alikes

There you have it. Search out the unique views of life that are overlooked by the world. Make a statement, stir an emotion, or just show us something cool. You'll be glad you did.

November Field Trip

Glenwood Cemetery

Photograph by Keith Wyatt

We had wonderful weather for a field trip to Glenwood Cemetery.

Guide Gary White provided historical details that we would otherwise have missed. Glenwood is designed to appear very ‘park like’with winding roads, rolling hills and magnificent trees.

It is a captivating green area right in the middle of a huge U.S. city. Visit Glenwood. You will not be disappointed.

Visit the neighbors!
