About Us

West Winds Photographic Group is a group of enthusiastic photographers who reside in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel area of Southern Tasmania, which is between 25km and 50 km south of Hobart..

The group was formed in September 2006 to encourage photography among the residents in the Channel area and to provide fellowship, instruction and inspiration for those interested in the art of photography.

Our aims are to look at various ways in which the members, singly or collectively, can expand their expertise in using their equipment, while enjoying good fellowship. We have a common interest in the digital age of cameras. This does not mean that those who use a film camera are excluded from active participation.

The Group is open to the inclusion of new members at any time, and will welcome the presence of visitors at any meeting.

Workshops and Photo Outings are held on a regular basis throughout the year.  Click here to see our Monthly Exhibitions, Photo Shoots & Workshops programme.

We want to encourage anyone interested in photography, from those who are just learning and want to improve their skill, to those who are already producing great photography's and will to share their skill.

Our adult membership is $10 per annum and junior (up and including 16 years of age) $5 per annum, from January to December each year. There is a entry fee of $2 per adult for at monthly exhibitions. All monies collected will be used to defray the cost of providing meeting facilities, and to build a up funds will be drawn to cover costs associated activities undertaken by the group.  Junior members are free to both monthly meetings.

When: 7:30pm Last Thursday (4th or 5th) of each month from February to November.

We are fortunate to be able to exhibit photographs digitally via data projector at our monthly exhibitions, but also have hard copy prints at monthly exhibitions. Those who submit entries for projected images are asked to have them in JPG file format.
