Welcome to our new West Texas Photographic Society website. It will be under construction for a bit so check back regularly for new content. I have a lot of ideas on how to utilize the website and make it a gathering place for members as well as non-members. Here are some of my initial thoughts.
Post the monthly image competition results. In fact if you take a look you will find the November 2024 results. Going forward I plan to add a gallery at the bottom of the post with all of the other images that were submitted.
Members submitted articles/post. We have a lot of members that travel. I would love to see members contribute about their travel and share some of the photos they made along the way.
There will be a category of “Behind the Shoot” that will talk about the behind the scenes of a series of photos and how they were made.
Members could submit articles regarding gear reviews or their favorite piece of gear that is always in their bag.
Now that we have a better place of hosting photos I am looking into coming up with a way to post and judge the monthly image competition before our meetings. That would allow us to send all of the meeting time to view and discuss all of the submitted images. I believe it would make for a better meeting as it can be a bit boring while the images are being judged during the meeting. Stay tuned for more info.
These are just a few ideas and I’m sure are members will have many other ideas as well.
I currently have the comments turned off on all of the post. I will eventually plan to turn that feature on as the rest of the site is built out. I hope you enjoy the new website and will find it informative and fun.
Thank you again Monty Smith for sharing the WTPS club photo from the past. Everyone enjoyed!
Cheers,
Ken
