Toronto Beginners Photography Club

Join us for our very first Toronto Beginners Photography Club meetup.

This will be a relaxed introduction session where we meet each other, talk about goals, and go over the fundamentals of the exposure triangle in a simple, practical way.

Plan for the meetup:

Welcome & Introductions (15 minutes)
Quick intros, what you’re hoping to learn, and what camera you’re using (if any).

Exposure Triangle Basics (15 minutes)
A beginner-friendly breakdown of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and how they work together. No math, no overwhelm — just understanding what each setting actually does.

Open Discussion (45 minutes)
Questions about manual mode, common beginner challenges, what confuses you most, and what kinds of photography interest you.

We’ll also plan our next event: a beginner-friendly photography hike at Rouge National Urban Park the following weekend, focused on light, composition, and practicing manual mode outdoors.

Who this is for:
Beginners and anyone learning manual mode. No experience required.
What to bring:

Any camera (DSLR, mirrorless, compact, or phone) and your questions.

This group is collaborative and non-commercial. No service promotion or selling permitted.

Join us for a beginner-friendly photography hike at Rouge National Urban Park on Saturday, February 21.

Where to Meet:

Rouge National Urban Park, Twyn Rivers Day Use Area
55 Twyn Rivers Dr, Scarborough, ON M1B 5R9

(Anyone passing by UNION Station is welcome to journey with me. I will take the Lakeshore East GO Train to Eglinton GO, then take Bus 86A to Park Road. I will then hike 1 hour to our destination at the parking lot.)

What to Bring:

• Your camera (any kind)
• Comfortable boots and warm layers (ground may be wet as snow melts)
• Water/snacks

What We’ll Do:
We’ll explore the trails together, enjoy winter nature scenes, and try to capture birds, wildlife, interesting landscapes, and whatever catches your eye. Whether it’s texture in the forest, reflections, frozen river edges, or wildlife tracks, there will be lots to photograph.

This event is about having fun with photography, practicing skills, and learning from each other. All levels are welcome — no selling or commercial activity permitted.
