Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

Next meeting

Thursday, May 14, 2026 - 6:45pm to 8:00pm

The judge is Larry Treadwell

Theme: Backlighting

Backlighting occurs when the subject is positioned in front of a light source. This positioning can yield quite dramatic and creative effects such as silhouetting the subject, casting a glow/halo around the subject, calling special attention to the outer contour of the subject, or illuminating a translucent subject. Backlighting should be intentional and viewed as a creative choice.

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.)
