This will spotlight the varied tastes and styles of our photos and allow everyone an opportunity to share without constraint of a particular theme.

and Facebook pages

Only submit your own work.

Spring is just around the corner and it's time for another Camera Club meeting.
Tonight (Feb 18th), we will be meeting at the Richmond location at 507 W. Main St. at 5PM.



I will be asking you for input on some new materials requests for both library locations. I will have a list of DVDs, Books, and Magazines for you to select from and welcome any new suggestions you may have.

At the end of our meeting, you will be invited to stay around for a selection of short photoshop videos that may help make the most out of your photography.

If you have any Winter photos, you may continue to submit them. If Jack Frost makes another appearance, by all means, take full advantage.

Our new theme will be "Night Photography" Practice using high iso and/or long exposures to capture the night. I look forward to seeing what you can do with this.

As soon as Spring scenes begin revealing themselves, be ready
(You can rest assured that we will want to see them too.)
