Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

• Meet & Greet - 6:45 - 7:00.
• Mary Louise Ravese will be returning to judge our competition this month.  She is an award-winning professional photographer from Raleigh, NC who specializes in nature, travel and creative photography.  Through her company, Bella Vista Photography, she offers instruction in photography and post-processig and leads photo workshops.

Do you have questions about photography or the club itself? Have suggestions to offer about how the club operates and what it offers? Just want to get to better know some of your fellow club members? Then this Zoom meeting is for you.

While this meeting will benefit everyone, new members and beginning photographers are especially encouraged to join us, where many of your more experienced peers and club leaders will be on hand to offer advice and hear you out.

Consider this a club chat session that will informative and uplifting for all.

Here’s your opportunity to get 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 photos, upload up to three JPEGs (sized to 2000 pixels on the longest side) to the current peer review entry on the PhotoContest Pro website before the deadline.
(If you need help with that, check out the information available on the CCC website under Competition Info.)

Hope to see you at the Zoom session on Saturday. Watch for the link in your e-mail inbox.
