March Photo Review

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.

Our photo review sessions are all about sharing our photos with one another. But they're also about helping each other make better photos, regardless of our level of skill and experience. Yes, we have competitions--just as most other camera clubs do. But we do something that I don't know of any other club doing: We help those we're "competing" against do better, mainly by showing how to avoid the "flaws" that judges commonly point to. And why do we do that? Because learning to take photos that you can be more proud of, and have fun doing so, is far more important that what kind of score you happen to get from a judge. And it all begins by coming to our photo review sessions every month!

If you’d like feedback on your photos, upload up to three JPEGs (sized to 2000 pixels on the longest side) to the current photo 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 there! Watch for the link in your e-mail inbox.
