Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

Meet and Greet 6:45 PM EDT

Mary Ann Setton will judge our competition.  Mary Ann lives in Ashburn, VA.  A graduate of the Washington School of Photography, she has worked as a professional photographer and videographer and has operated a portrait studio.  She is a long-time member of and has served as President of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society where her images have been highly recognized. 

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.)

This is all about how to approach people for permission to have their picture taken, especially people you don’t know, maybe while in a foreign country, even when you don’t speak their language. How do you get people to work with you for a good photograph beyond “no,” or the stiff pose and the “V” sign. Taught by a retired psychotherapist and professional photographer.
