Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

Here’s your opportunity to get friendly feedback on your images from your peers. Want some suggestions on how you might improve an image before entering it in a competition? Having some difficulty getting the “look” you want with lighting, composition, or editing? Want to understand more about why a judge may have scored an image as he or she did? Then you’ll find this casual and supportive meeting helpful. And, if you choose to join in evaluating the work of others and contributing your thoughts, you will likely strengthen your own picture-taking skills. Members of all skill levels are welcome, and of course you’re welcome to just attend the meeting and observe.

Several members have said that these sessions are the best educational opportunity the club has to offer, so please consider taking part!

If you’d like feedback on your images, bring up to three TIFFs or JPEGs ( sized to 1080 pixels on the longest side) to the meeting on a thumb drive.

The Exhibition Committee will meet at Northside Library on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 at 6:30 pm. Any Charlottesville Camera Club member interested in exhibiting or joining the Exhibition Committee is welcome to attend.

Following the introduction to close-up and macro photography on August 15, we'll meet again to put what we've learned into practice. We'll have tables set up with subjects of all sort for you to photograph. We also encourage you to bring items from your home or garden to shoot, if you prefer.

As you set up and begin photographing, we'll coach you through the process, helping you with any problems you may encounter. At any point, we'll be happy to evaluate your photos by viewing them on a laptop and making suggestions.

In part 1 of this workshop, we'll have told you what kind of equipment you'll need for this kind of photography. So if you plan on making any purchases, please do so before part 2. However, if you think you won't have what you need for this session, please let me know via e-mail so I can try to round up equipment you can use.
