Everyone is welcome to join in on the discussion and especially if you have a photo you would like critiqued. November 29, 2009 Posted 11:18 PM by: Dan I often get asked for location suggestions in Winnipeg and Manitoba to shoot landscapes, portraits, weddings and wildlife. These requests come not only from local photographers but also photographers from other provinces and countries coming to Winnipeg to visit. So, in order to help fellow photographers and photography enthusiasts I've created a HUGE article with the best locations in both Winnipeg and Manitoba! You can see it in my Articles section or directly by clicking here: Photographic locations in Winnipeg and around Manitoba November 15, 2009 Posted 3:45am by: Dan A group photo from the October 17th Pembina Valley group shoot:  Click for larger image November 2, 2009 Posted 1:33am by: Dan Just a quick reminder that tonight, November 2nd at 7pm is our November general meeting.

No, despite the fairly convincing post this morning the WPC IS NOT SHUTTING DOWN! This was just a devilish April Fools Day joke by yours truly. Sorry to all those who where almost brought to tears, but rest assured we'll be around until photography goes out of style! April 1, 2009 Hey all, over the past year the club has grown with such ferocity it has been amazing! Sadly, in it's exponential growth, there has also been a similar increase in posting protocol violations. These vocations, although not a big deal on an individual basis, take up at least 1-2 hours of my time each day. So, after talking with Dave for the past month about this, I am shutting down the site. Although I am shutting it down indefinitely I may allow interested parties to take up the cause and take over the forum in whatever form they please. If you are interested you can contact me at dan@wpgphoto.com Otherwise you can read this thread on the forums for more details.
