Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

Next meeting

Thursday, April 11, 2024 - 7:00pm

The judge is TBD

Theme: As Time Goes By

Living things show their age in many ways. Wrinkled faces, well-worn hands, tired eyes, gnarled trees, fading flowers—all can make powerful photos. Non-living subjects may include rusting cars, peeling paint, dilapidated homes, ancient ruins, and eroding landscapes. Even well-preserved things may qualify for this theme if they show their age in changing styles, fashions, and technology.

Meet and Greet 6:45 PM EDT

Upcoming Club Events

Presentation by Adrian Klein

Workshop

Wednesday, March 20, 2024 - 6:45pm to 8:00pm

Adrian Klein is a well-known landscape and nature photographer living in Oregon. He leads photo workshops and tours and gives presentations on various topics. He has worked as a portrait and wedding photographer and has been a contributing member of Professional Photographers of Oregon board of directors and a member of Photo Cascadia. For more information about Adrian and to see some of his beautiful photographs, go to his website at https://www.adrianklein.com/page/about/

Adrian will present a talk via Zoom called "In Search of the Hidden," which he describes here: "Finding compositions that work isn’t always easy, especially when trying to discover the smaller or more abstract scenes from the larger view we are taking in. I will share many examples where I found the photo I was most interested in that might not be apparent at first look due to “noise” from the larger surrounding. Through the photos, stories, and tips I share, photographers will have a glimpse into how I work to find these scenes, which can help them discover what they are interested in when out photographing."

Your club dues make presentations like this possible, so thank you for being a member of the 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?

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).
