The annual Member Workshop was held on 17th. We started the evening with the most important business of the night. Perhaps the most important of the year. Not wanting to deprive any no-shows of vital information, I have embedded the information here: After the cat videos was reluctantly turned off at the start of the …
Hello internet. Welcome to another post of the ins and the outs of our camera club. There’s been quite a bit happening and things are speeding up as we near the end of another season. I’ll be brief as possible, knowing how very, very long this post will become otherwise. Our Urban theme was judged …
It’s Spring! (Looks out window, at the calendar, then back out the window) It’s Spring? Another club meeting has come and gone. We started by looking at videos of adorable kittens. Then Carole Quinn judged our 2nd General competition of the year and gave lots of feedback. The thing that sticks with me the most …

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 …

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. Bugs flying near a street light. Long exposure prints were handed in by those who braved the topic. It was difficult for many, due …
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 …
