Welcome to the Thousand Oaks Photo Group

Based in Eastern Ventura County, our camera club serves photographers who are interested in sharing, talking, and learning about photography. We are a creative and supportive group organized to meet the needs of photographers whether they are beginners, highly skilled amateurs or professionals. We conduct meetings, webinars and special interest focus groups every month.

Yes, we have Field Trips and a Picnic Too!

Once again, we are scheduling field trips. There a lots of opportunities to see club members and for photography beginning in mid-March. We have plans for trips to the Santa Barbara Zoo, Strathearn Historical Park, the Santa Monica Pier, Art City in Ventura, and downtown Santa Barbara, all in the next few months. In addition, we are planning for a spring picnic at Conejo Community Park on April 30. Stay tuned in by checking this website and reading club email messages.
