The Photographic Society of Malaysia was founded in 1956 to promote photography as an art form. Membership is open to everyone, and as members, you grow with us as photographers and discover the exciting and varied world of photography.
Date : 10 - 12 September 2010
Venue : Taiping, Perak
Due to feedback from members and the high costs involved for the Kenyir Lake trip, the Society has decided to instead organize a trip to the historical and nostalgic Taiping, remembered for its vast tin mining industries.
Taiping will bring back memories of the olden era, as much of its history still remains in the essense of the town itself, from the olden architectural delights to the cultures and richly decorated characters of its people, right up to the romantism of the beautiful Taiping Lake.....from the ancient art of charcoal making to the secluded scenic fishing village in its vicinity........in short, a photographer's heaven.
