Why Join the APS?

About the APS

Here are some of the responses to a recent survey of APS members conducted by the Society’s Management Committee:

I really value the APS. I live in a small town that has no camera club of its own and I am unable to travel to neighbouring towns to attend their camera clubs.

The APS is the only contact I have with fellow enthusiasts and provides a genuine forum for discussion and competition.

I am very impressed by the help provided in general and by your mentor system.

I have found membership, and especially attending APSCON … very
beneficial, along with being in the various groups. The three magazines are useful and idea inspiring, and the comments from other photographers in IMAGE especially useful.

Overall, joining APS has been a great help to my progress in photography.

I have just completed the slide appraisal course and found It very useful. I have been more satised that I’m getting something out of APS since joining a folio.

Networking opportunities are excellent with APS and folio groups. This is an aspect of APS I value highly.

APS can help you improve your photography, increase your level of satisfaction and achievement with your images, and make lasting friendships with other photographers throughout Australia. All that is required is that you take two steps; the first, Joining the Society; the second, Becoming Involved in what we have to offer.
