If you missed this passed meeting, you missed a doozy. Sure, you’ll have this blog to refer to, but there can be no comparison. We started the night by dropping off prints for General (to be judged on March 20). After that, Peter Baiamonte spoke about the topic he’ll be judging (Cityscapes) with enough enthusiasm that …
Discussing Urban/Cityscape & Street Photography (Club #11 – March 6) Read More »
For me, I think the most challenging competition of the year was (and still is) the first one: Volunteering. Calling or going up to strangers, asking if I can intrude in their lives, and stick a camera in their face while they try to go about their daily routines. As an introvert, I can tell …
Club Meeting 10 (Long Exposure Judged – Feb. 13) Read More »
Another cold night on Tuesday. Also another club meeting. We were missing our rolling table for the projector, but managed to acquire a huge printer that we’re not allowed to use.

The 8th meeting of the season has come and gone. Our numbers were noticeably low, as we were experiencing the effects of Snow Storm Inga. Wait. “Inga”? Snow Storm Inga? Why not names like Snow Storm Frosty? Snow Storm Can’t-Feel-My-Face? Or perhaps Snow Storm Broken-Shovel? Oh well. If you think of it as white sand …
Long Exposures can seem tricky and quite daunting, especially when you’re not familiar with doing them. Honestly though, it doesn’t need to be as difficult a task as it appears. In this blog, I’m going to skip as much of the technical aspects as possible, so we can focus more on just getting the shot. …
The first meeting of 2018 has come and gone. I’ll say right up front that as our next theme, Long Exposures, probably has some people in cold sweats wondering where to get started, I’ll be turning this into a two part blog post. Part One is today, where I’ll basically cover what happened at the …
Ho ho ho! Merry non-denomination holiday to you all! With our next NECCC deadline right around the corner (email Winter NECCC competition shots to Bruce by January 5th), let’s talk NECCC. For those who aren’t familiar, the NECCC competitions aren’t just for the individual, but also for the club as a whole. Individuals from our …
Welcome to first installment of not-meeting-related BMCC blogs. Some of these will be very basic. Some, quite advanced. Today’s is fairly basic, like me. If you consider yourself to be an expert in mounting and framing your prints, you might have a good laugh at my expense. But if you, like me, have viewed mounting …

Did you know the world was supposed to end (according to one man) on November 19th? Yet here it is, the 24th, and I feel pretty good about my chances of finishing this blog before the fragments of Nibiru start raining fire on us. I just hope you all have time to read this. Oh. …
