RTPC Activities 

First, please join us, here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rowlettphotoclub

Rowlett Texas Photography Club has lots of activities, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually.  We also have activities pop up irregularly, so be sure to check our Facebook page and Meetup calendar for those:

We share our photography and other stuff on Facebook, here.

We arrange our meetings, photowalks, etc., on Facebook Events, here. Of course, you’ll need to join our club at that first link above.

Weekly:

 Weekly Theme:  Each Monday morning we announce a new weekly theme in our Facebook Group, and members are encouraged to post one photo each day which matches that theme.  At the start of each year the list of each week’s theme during that year is put on this website (link just below) for people who are more well organized. So, join our club (link above) and start posting.

Here are our 2026 weekly themes.

Photo of the Week:  At the start of every weekend, five photos with the most likes, loves, etc., during the week-before-last are selected and posted as a poll.  Members are encouraged to vote for their favorite of those photos.  At the end of the weekend the winner is announced. That image becomes the banner for the coming week and an announcement is posted to honor the photographer.  We maintain an album for each year’s winning photos.

 All Things Photography - Round Table Discussion:  On the evening of the first Monday of each month, we meet for a couple hours and talk about photography.  It is designed for open discussion about any topic regarding photography. Bring a topic.  It can be your opinion about something, or a question. It can be theoretical or practical.

RTPC Monthly Daytime Photo Walk:  On the second Thursday of each month, weather permitting, we get together to go on a photo walk at a location anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours from Rowlett. The start and end times will vary each month, depending on time of year and where we are going.

Fourth Saturday at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden: On the fourth Saturday of every month, a gathering at the Dallas Arboretum, followed by an on-site lunch.

The Arboretum, always different, offering photographers everything from landscapes to micro, from scheduled events to ongoing changes with the seasons, to plants, art and Mother nature.

For beginners to old heads, for worker bees to retired folks, a chance to spend time with other RTPC members, maybe learn a thing or two without long drives, and perhaps a monthly challenge.

Gather at 8:45 am at Gate 1. We'll coordinate parking and entry fees on Meetup.
