Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

Here’s your opportunity to get friendly feedback on your photos from your fellow club members. Do you just want to learn more about the basics of taking a good photo? Are you having some difficulty getting the “look” you want with lighting and composition? Want to do better in our competitions and juried exhibits? Whatever your level of experience or ability, you’ll find these casual and supportive meetings helpful—and just plain fun!

You’ll get the most from these meetings by posting your own photos. But of course you’re welcome to just show up and observe the photos posted by others. If you’d like to show us your photos, upload up to two JPEGs (sized to about 2000 pixels on the longest side) to the current photo review entry on the PhotoContest Pro website (www.photocontestpro.com). The deadline is always midnight before the meeting. (If you need help with uploading, check out the information available on the CCC website under Competition Info, or contact Gerry Bishop via email.)

Our last meeting of the year will be a party in-person at The Center at Belvedere!  Light snacks and nonalcoholic beverages will be provided, FREE!!  A VABC license has been obtained, so feel free to bring your beverages of choice.  You may bring a guest.

Saturday, December 16 from noon to 3:00 pm.

For more than 100 years after the invention of photography, shooting in black and white was our only choice. But today, almost anyone can pick up a camera and create a beautiful color photo. So why would we now want to remove the color and render a photo in black and white? What does B&W provide that color doesn’t, or doesn’t provide as well?

Find out the answer to those questions and learn the basic steps in creating your own beautiful black and white photos--just in time for the assigned theme coming up in February!

Meet and Greet 6:00 PM EDT
