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.)

To welcome the new year properly, I've made reservations for a happy hour get-together on January 22 at 5:00 pm at the South Street Brewery in Charlottesville.

We held a similar gathering at the Selvedge Brewery a few months ago, and it seems that everyone had a great time chatting over their beer and wine and snacks.

We had about a dozen attendees then, and our reservations are for the same number this time at South Street, so if you're interested, please let me know so I can add you to our attendee list. If we have more than 12 sign up, I'll see how many more the brewery can handle. But since I can't guarantee they can make room for more, please act soon!

Please also note that this will be on your own, and not the club's, tab. :-)

Before the 1890s, our only option was to photograph in black and white (monochrome). So, now that we take color photography for granted, why create B&W photos? We will review some of the reasons you might want to create B&W photos, and then review a number of different editing programs and tools that can help you achieve your artistic vision.

Either before or after this presentation, you might want to view "Black and White Basics," a presentation from 2020 by Gerry Bishop that you can find on the CCC website as a PDF under "Presentations."
