About us
At least once a month at HoustonPhotowalks.com, we drum up some crazy idea for a place to photograph and practice our photo techniques. We're a fun bunch, no pressure, no stress. Come ready to learn and share what you know among other photographers.
Check out our Member Discounts, Sponsors and other cool stuff on our Good Stuff page: https://houstonphotowalks.com/member-perks/
This group is perfect for new camera owners, novice hobby photographers, and old dogs that have been shooting photos for a long time.
Our group has 3 main principles that guide our way:
• Fun and Safe (we want you to have a great time, and not die).
• Honor the amateur photography clubs that came before us. Their enthusiastic interest in photography paved the way for the technology evolution that allows us to capture light today.
• Education, of ourselves, each other and the community. We learn our best techniques from each other, and we teach the community that photographers aren't jerks, criminals or terrorists.

Class: Creating Professional Prints at Home (via Zoom)
·OnlineOnlineDetails
There's a difference between seeing your finished work on a screen, and holding a 11x17 (or larger) print in your hands. On screen, you look and swipe to the next image. But a print - it's permanent (mostly 😁). It's something you can hold, display, and for others to see. It's a way to preserve your memories. Joe Lippeatt highlighted this in an article on HPW's site back on September 26, 2025.
If you've done photographic work for others (such as friends, relatives, etc.), there's nothing like seeing their reaction when you present them with a large/wide format print
This class will focus on choosing a wide format photo printer that best suits your needs, paper selection, making test prints and producing consistent results. We'll demonstrate printing in Capture One and Lightroom Classic.
We'll show the various options of how to print - including the "Printer Manages Color" option, and a color managed workflow in both Capture One, and in Lightroom Classic (using Canon's Print Studio Pro plug-in in LrC).
This class will be part Keynote presentation and part demonstration. We'll provide time at the end to address printing issues that you may have come up against.
If you're currently using a wide format printer, and have questions, please message me beforehand so that I can research them to properly address them.
The Zoom link will be provided Friday morning before the class in the evening.
