Painting with Light, at Night |
WorkshopTuesday, June 24, 2025 - 6:45pm to 8:30pm Online Zoom Meeting - Refer to Meeting Announcement |
Photogropher and scientist Jürgen Leyet will talk to us via Zoom about some of creative photo opportunities available after dark. Here are some details: Adding artificial light to photos taken at night can be done through a number of techniques. Light painting adds additional light to existing surfaces, but light drawing is one of the few techniques where a photographer can actively create unique and intriguing content, rather than simply photographing existing scenes. The following topics will be covered:
Throughout the presentation, Jürgen will demonstrate a number of light painting tools, show how to use them, and how they look in many visual examples. |
Taking Control of Your Camera--the Basics |
WorkshopSaturday, June 28, 2025 - 4:00pm to 6:00pm Ivy Creek |
Join us at Ivy Creek Natural Area in Charlottesville for a hands-on workshop Saturday, June 28 at 4 pm. We’ll meet in the education center, where Gerry Bishop will give us a brief introduction to understanding our camera’s capabilities. Then we’ll go outside for some practice shooting flowers, buildings, landscapes, or whatever interests us. Several seasoned camera club members will be there to to assist with setting up a shot, choosing the best settings, and suggesting some approaches we may not have considered. This is a great chance to get some one-on-one help. Please let Tracy Kaminer know if you plan to attend. |
Photo Review |
WorkshopSaturday, July 5, 2025 - 3:45pm to 5:30pm Online Zoom Meeting - Refer to Meeting Announcement |
Got some photos you'd like to share with your fellow members? Want some helpful suggestions on how to improve your photography skills? Just want to see what others in the club are shooting these days, and how they're using editing software to optimize their photos? Then our photo review sessions are a great place to spend some time. If you haven't yet joined us in these Zoom gatherings, you should at least give it a try. Just show up and see what you think. Then, if you decide you want to show some of your own photos, go to the CCC website (www.cvillecameraclub.org) and click on Competition Info > Uploading in the left-side column for more information. (Don't worry: The photo reviews are not at all about competition!) |

Photographing Butterflies (and More)--the Tools and Techniques |
WorkshopTuesday, July 22, 2025 - 6:45pm to 8:00pm Online Zoom Meeting - Refer to Meeting Announcement |
We've all seen and admired fellow-club-member Ken Whittaker's magnificent photos of butterflies and other common insects. Ken has kindly volunteered to show us the tools and techniques he uses so successfully. Why, you ask, didn't we get this presentation before our June competition? That wasn't possible, sorry to say, but think of it this way: Now that you know how challenging it can be to capture these small and elusive subjects, you'll have all the more reason to join us for this presentation! :-) |
