The Photographic Society of Iloilo (PSI) was established in September 1980 by a group of photo hobbyist bound together by a common interest. Through the years, PSI’s path has evolved with the changing times. Old members take a break, new enthusiasts join-in, technologies changed from film to digital, techniques are improved through the use of computers. But the very framework of the club has never changed, this is a group of people with different backgrounds but with one common interest, that is the love for photography.
The club has programmed activities for the year which includes PSI sponsored seminars & workshops for students, hobbyist and professionals; photo outings & excursions to provide the members with photo opportunities; contests to sharpen up and improve the photo techniques and skills of each member; and photo exhibits.

harold,
go through the members listing and see if you know anyone. memberships are through invitation only (no applications). so to join in, you will need a PSI member to sponsor you… and that’s just the first of step.

Thank you for the reply sir jun!
I hope I could buy my slr camera soon. I’m still using my Olympus FE-360 digital camera. I’ll try and update my flickr.
I am Interested in attending your seminar if it push through. I really want to know about basic camera operations of an slr camera and its part. Newbie talaga eh! hehe..
Thanks again! I’ll keep on visiting your site. ^_^

hi purpleworm!
photography is also my stress reliever & its always great to hear from a fellow photographer with the same passion I have.
i’ll try to answer each of your queries:
1. PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY OF ILOILO. Our photo club is a close knit organization. It’s not how much one knows about photography or how talented one is when joining the club, it’s also how you fit in. Club memberships are through invitation only, no applications are accepted. I know our process is a bit harsh but its the same process that has kept the club going (& going strong) for 29 years. But once you’re in, it’s going to be a blast!
2. CHOOSING A CAMERA. Get the entry level camera from Canon or Nikon. Dont you just love technology… entry level cameras are just oozing with features. The Nikon D40 is ok for starters/hobbyists and its very affordable. Yes, you can change lenses, use external flash. Not sure if they have a battery grip or cable release for this.
Remember, its the photographer who captures images. The equipment is just a tool.
3. SEMINARS & WORKSHOP. I’m planning to conduct a 1-day photo workshop covering the basic camera operations to composition. I’ll let you know when this pushes through (hopefully) maybe by May 2009.
Keep on shooting!

hello ulit! I want to ask your opinion about nikon D40, its w/in my budget eh. hehe..
Is the specs okay also can I add some accessories like change lens, flash, etc? Thanks!

Hello kuya jun!
I really love photography a lot! My number one hobby and stress reliever. hehe..

Good day sir! Thanks for you message on my blog. I was so glad to hear that! I was actually bugging my mom all year to let me go on a photography class/training/apprenticeship this summer 2008, that is if there would be any. Wow, that program you’re planning will surely be awesome, and I am super interested.
God bless! =)
