Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

Want some 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.

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 Monday, October 1, 2018 at 6:30 pm. Any Charlottesville Camera Club member interested in exhibiting or joining the Exhibition Committee is welcome to attend.

This month we're fortunate to have Andrew Sentipal of the Manassas/Warrenton Camera Club and Fredericksburg Photo Club as a guest workshop presenter. Andrew will talk about the many aspects of photographing in Shenandoah National Park, beginning with a brief history of the park and going on to suggest the best kinds of subjects to photograph there, as well as where to find them. He'll cover techniques for shooting waterfalls, fog, wildlife, and the Milky Way, along with tips for capturing macro, landscapes, sunrise/sunset, and starbursts. Andrew will provide tips on photographing in different seasons, with details on specific shooting locations within the park. He will cover all these points with his own photographs and other visuals.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear from an expert on photographing in our closest national park!
