Welcome to Charlottesville Camera Club

Corey Hilz is our judge this month. Corey is enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. He helps others improve their photography through group and private instruction. Corey's instruction enables photographers to improve their images technically and artistically. Corey is a published author, and his work is seen in magazines, books, calendars, and catalogs. His photographs are also found in exhibits and private collections. Corey has written six books, including two books on digital workflow and the first book dedicated to Lensbaby. Corey goes beyond the documentary image, looking for fresh perspectives and the decisive moment. He strives to share the beauty of a destination you’ve never seen, as well as a new view on the familiar.

In anticipation of the September competition's assigned theme, and following Arik Gorban's presentation last month, we will be heading to downtown C'ville to put some of what we've learned into practice. 

For those of you who already know how to make successful night photos, this will be an opportunity to get together with your fellow members and have some fun. For those of you who are just learning this photographic genre, your more experienced fellow members will be there to help you. 

Details will come soon. 

Like zombies, they refuse to die, popping up over and over again during our photo reviews and competitions. Yes, we're talking about some all-too-common goofs that everyone serious about improving their photography should not be making.

Of course, if you’re not making mistakes, you’re probably stuck in a rut and aren’t growing as a photographer. But some goofs don’t happen from trying new things. Rather, they keep appearing because you may not be noticing them or know how to avoid or fix them.

So, in this presentation, we'll be reviewing some easy remedies for your favorite goofs!

The judge for this month's competition on the 12th will be unavailable on that date, so we'll be recording his evaluations and scoring of your entries ahead of time. Therefore, the deadline for uploading your entries will be at 11:59 TONIGHT, Sunday, November 1.
