Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

Next meeting

Thursday, March 12, 2026 - 6:45pm to 8:00pm

The judge is Colleen Miniuk

Theme: Motion Blur

By creating motion blur in a photo, you can convey the feeling of movement or action. You can create a sense of motion in two ways: Keep the camera stable so the background stays sharp while the subject moves within the frame. Alternatively, move (pan) the camera to follow the moving subject and keep it as sharp as possible, with the background becoming blurred from the camera movement. Do not use software to “generate” motion blur. Capture the motion in camera.

Our judge this month is Colleen Muniuk. You may remember Colleen from her excellent presentation last year on

Photo Review

Workshop

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 - 6:45pm to 8:30pm

Online Zoom Meeting - Refer to Meeting Announcement

Here’s your opportunity to get friendly feedback on your photos from your fellow club members. Do you 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? Or do you just want to show us what you've been shooting lately?

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). If you'd like to show us "before editing" and "after editing" versions of a photo, you can upload both.

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.)

How to Create Compelling B&W Photos

Workshop

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 - 6:45pm to 8:00pm

Online Zoom Meeting - Refer to Meeting Announcement

Before the 1890s, our only option was to photograph in black and white (monochrome). So, now that we take color photography for granted, why create B&W photos? We will review some of the reasons you might want to create B&W photos, and then review a number of different editing programs and tools that can help you achieve your artistic vision.

Either before or after this presentation, you might want to view "Black and White Basics," a presentation from 2020 by Gerry Bishop that you can find on the CCC website as a PDF under "Presentations."
