Welcome to the Penrith RSL Photographic Club’s webpage. Our club promotes and encourages the knowledge and uses of photography while nurturing the growth and development of the individual member as a person and as a photographic artist.
This is achieved through a balanced syllabus that is both informative and entertaining. Our meetings are held in a very friendly and informal environment where we have regular guest speakers, hands-on workshop nights, outings, competitions (only 4 per year) and Show & Tell.
Show & Tell was developed to encourage members to show their work and talk about it. Because photographers not only like to take photographs but also show them off and explain why they took them, what aperture and shutter speeds they used, what technique they applied and was it successful, etc. If you want, you can ask for constructive criticism from other members on how your photo might have been improved.
This has proven, over the years, to be a very popular segment and one which is thoroughly enjoyed by everyone (especially beginners) as it gives an insight into how other photographers create their images.
Feel free to come to a few club meetings as a guest. If our club is what you are looking for, then why not apply to become a member and receive great tips and advice whilst learning new ways to improve your techniques in landscape, portraiture and nature along with making new and lasting friendships.
Members must belong to the Penrith RSL Club and then can apply for membership to the photographic club which is only $25 per year.
Please feel free to contact us for more information on the club.
