Grand Photos is the 400-plus member photography club of  the Sun City Grand community in Surprise, Arizona. Our purpose is to educate members in all areas of photography through such means as weekly free workshops, photo shoots, presentations by various local photographers, and competitions.      

Our Lab is located in the Saguaro Building, Sonoran Plaza.  Lab hours are from 9AM to Noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  Members have access to our computer photo processing programs, wide-format printers, a well-stocked  library, and many other amenities.  There are always members present to help with problems or answer questions.  Workshops, membership and Special Interest Groups meet in the afternoons, along with some evening activities.

Weekly Schedule

Fill Flash Photo Shoot, May 17th

 


Bring your flash and join us at the lab Thursday May 17th at 8 am.  We will be learning/practicing our fill flash technique.  We plan to use the shade of the trees around the plaza and take pictures using our flash to get good exposures.  Bringing  your tripod might be a good idea also.  Please email Sue Penney if you would like to join the group at:  sr2penneys@yahoo.com

And a Good Time was had by All

 

The Black & White Grand Photos Dinner (appropriately here shown in B&W), was well attended and with positive comments from all.

Breaking News...Rats Discovered in the Lab

 

These Lab Rats appear on almost all days the Photo Lab is open. Their good humor and willingness to help are a real contribution to the Club. If you have any question or problem, drop by and get an immediate solution.

New Feature--We Want Your Ideas

 

Photography, by nature, is a creative undertaking. That means our Grand Photos membership is full of creative ideas. Some of these might even help us create a better club.

Have an idea regarding education, events, procedures, facilities, equipment, or communications? Consider anything that might make Grand Photos a better club for all of us.

On the right-hand side of our website is a new link "Member Suggestion Box". Clicking here will take you to a simple form in which you can enter your idea. Yours, and other member ideas, could be the ones that take our club to a whole new level.
