Hi Steve,

I'm sure you saw the list of clubs mentioned by Keng Hor. Most of these clubs offer courses from basic to advance.

Send your lens to Prime Camera Centre at Peninsula. They do a good job and price is reasonable.

There are some private photography clubs where members learn about photography in general.

Anyone interested to participate in photography activities/courses kindly send your request through email. We welcome anyone interested in medium and large format photography. For those aspiring to learn large format, black-and-white printing you are welcome to join our Large Format Photography Group.

Membership in the Large Format Group is growing. You need not own an LF to join. Enjoy the gatherings and outings as we share our passion in LF photography. Members learn to source for inexpensive LF and other accessories.

Subject: Grouping people who wants to go photographing on a bicycle

It is great fun having this trend of riding a mountain bicycle and roaming the rural areas for photography subjects.

If you are 18 to 60 years of age, you are welcome to join. You must have a bicycle and if you want to learn to take better pictures, this is the place for you.

We strive on sharing our knowledge in photography and at the same time, enjoying riding on our mountain bike to look for our specific subjects.

Please feel free to write for more information and join our regular outings.

Happy riding and enjoying photography,

Write: ippl@pacific.net.sg
