Welcome to the Chiang Mai Photography Group. We meet every other Wednesday at 7.00pm in Tuskers Bar (see the calendar below) and all those with an interest in photography, be it film or digital are warmly invited.

The Chiang Mai Photographic Group aims to further all aspects of the picture taking abilities of its members through the sharing of skills and mutual support in an informal, inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere. (32x32ThaiFlag.gif ภาษาไทย)

CMPG is run solely for the benefit of its members and a fee of 40bht per person is collected at each meeting to help defray expenses. Meetings last two hours after which we encourage you to stay for a while and chat with other members over a drink in the bar. We can't cover everything in the formal bit and this is a good time to explore interests you share with other photographers.

Tomorrow's CMPG Meeting: The Sharper Image? (Wyndham)
posted Tue June 30th 2009 @ 4:33 PM

Sorry!  Picked up the reins from Mike and Tom this week and the first thing I do is send out a late reminder to tomorrow's meeting. Most of us have photo hang-ups of one kind or another: lens envy, gadget greed, pixel peeping come to mind but one common source of paranoia is sharpness.  How is it that even with identical gear, a rock steady grip and shutter speed of measured in nanoseconds that everyone elses shots look sharper than ours?  What is sharpness anyway?  Join us at Tuskers tomorrow at 7.00 to see if we can come up with some answers.

article linkHIV/AIDS Project: Can You Help? (Wyndham)
posted Sun April 19th 2009 @ 7:36 PM

Brett Faucett is working in Chiang Mai as a HIV/AIDS consultant for the Presbyterian Church and is also an amateur photographer.  The organization he is working for is starting a photo project beginning in May and he recently came to a CMPG meeting at Tuskers to try and enlist some help from some members next month.
 
The project is centered on a group of 20 kids with ages ranging from 10-17 years old.  These kids either have HIV or they are taking care of a family member that is infected with HIV.   The project is to have the kids photo document their lives as they see it and how HIV/AIDS affects them.
