About us
Tri-County Meetups’ mission is to provide both an excellent shooting experience combined with an excellent learning experience to enable attendees to become a self-sufficient independent photographer. We are unique as compared to most meetup groups that the instructor is actively working with the students individually and collectively; looking at the students playback and histograms to insure success from both an exposure, but also a compositional and design aspect. Attending a Tri-County Meetup event you can be assured that the instructor does not just point at the subject and announce “There it is; start shooting and I will return in three hours.” Students do not have to compete with the Tri-County Instructor for shooting from the best place or time. All priorities are given to the student. Our master photography instructors seldom shoots any photos. If the instructor does shoot, it is usually to provide a better teaching situation for the student to review a composition in the playback of the camera that the student may not have understood. Our meetups help build a stronger portfolio for both the beginner or the professional. We encourage the asking of questions and because we specialize in small size groups, the mandate of one-on-one assistance is easily accomplished.
We have state of the art studio facilities and offer group shoots on location and outdoors as the season permits. We also offer meet-ups with open computer time to edit and print your best images. Critique sessions or portfolio reviews are offered usually on the second Friday night of every other month co-Sponsored by Midwest Photography Workshops.

#123 Panorama Photography – A one day workshop
Midwest Photography Workshops Southfield Campus and Office, 29260 Wildbrook, Southfield, MI, US# #123 Panorama Photography – A one day workshop starting Sunday May 17, 2026 9:00AM-12:00PM
This three-hour workshop will provide instruction to shoot multiple photographs with either a digital camera or film based camera, and stitch the photographs together into a panorama of up to 360 degrees. Class includes shooting techniques (camera positioning, exposure, white balance) to increase stitching success, image processing and how to prepare the images for printing. Learn why photographs look better with less distortion by making a panorama photo rather than just using an extra wide-angle lens. Demonstrations will include how to make a 3, 5, or even a 7 or more stitch and a high resolution multi-row stitch. Bring your camera and tripod as we will shoot at least one panorama photo in class. MPW can provide the tripod heads and software to insure a successful panorama stitch if needed.
Just as a reminder; all digital editing classes are held at our new Southfield campus located at 29260 Wildbrook dr. (just east of Telegraph and just north of 12 Mile Rd.) Midwest Photography Workshops maintains a bank of 8 computers in our computer lab, but students are welcome to bring in your own laptop computer.- Wildbrook Computer Lab
