Boston Photography Center

Boston Photography Center is a group of local area photographers (both amateurs and professional.) BPC sponsors events all around the greater Boston area and does a few road trips further abroad (NYC, Vermont, etc.)
These are a great opportunity to get out and enjoy taking pictures in different environments and meet people with a similar interest in photography, compare notes on gear, etc. The web site and Facebook group also provide forums for offering help on technique, Photoshop and all sorts of other things.
The BPC also sponsors photography classes for novices who want to learn how to get the most of our their DSLRs and trips to photography exhibits in local museums. It’s a great group of people and every event I’ve attended has been a lot of fun.
If you have an interest in photography give BPC a look.

I randomly found this place on the meetup site.
Basically, it’s a group of local photographers (professional and the not-​so-​professional, like me) that meet up on a monthly basis to talk about various photo topics. Also on the meetup site, you can share your thoughts/​question regarding photography on the message boards, and check out others’ works!
They also have various «click-​and-​shoot» outings. I went to the one going to Rockport a little while ago, it was fun.
