WELCOME TO THE BPS:
The Bridgewater Photographic Society (BPS) is a non-profit, member-run photo club with membership from across the south shore of Nova Scotia. Whether you are a novice or a professional, we welcome you to our photographic community. For over 40 years, BPS has been fostering people’s interest in, and passion for photography. Our program consists of wide-ranging photographic education, friendly challenges and competitions, image sharing and socials.
ACTIVITIES
FIELD TRIPS
COMPETITIONS & PHOTOSHARES
The BPS Field Trip Committee organizes photographic field trips throughout the year, from events, to well-known scenic landmarks, to hidden gems suggested by club members. Some past field trips include:
Ross Farm
Acadian Village, Pubnico
Peggy’s and Polly’s Cove
Burntcoat Head and Bramber Flower Pot
Kejimkujik National Park and Seaside Adjunct
British Motoring Festival, Halifax Kite Festival, Privateer Days
These outings are great way to practice skills, and connect with other members.
CLUB EVENINGS
The club meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from September through May, either in person or via Zoom. Meetings may be comprised of:
Member and guest presentations on both technical and artistic topics related to photography
Mini workshop or hands-on activities
Slide shows of competition results, photoshares and field trips
General announcements and discussions.
Club evenings are an opportunity to connect with fellow photographers, exchange ideas, learn new skills, and simply enjoy the company of people who share a passion for photography.
BPS members are invited to submit to internal club competitions in a variety of genres and themes. Images are judged anonymously, and constructive critique is provided by the judges.
BPS also participates in CAPA’s competitions as a member club.
For those who do not wish to compete, the club also organizes thematic “photoshares”, giving members another opportunity to share their images with fellow photographers.
