MEETINGS:

Programs for each meeting focus on one of a wide range of topics from the very basic to the more advanced. Sometimes members present programs; other meetings featue guest speakers or audio-visual presentations.

FIELD TRIPS:

Field trips are held thoughout the year. These trips provide an enjoyable way to find new subjects, try new techniques and learn from other club members. Photographs from these excursions are entered in a competition held at a monthly meeting following the field trip.

COMPETITION:

Two types of competitions are held at monthly meetings, providing challenging assignments and an opportunity for members to compare their work with others. An Intra-Club
Competition is held each month on a selected topic, using slides, color prints and/or black and white prints. Special competitions are also held for fieldtrips and club sponsored events. Competitions are judged by each person attending the meeting using the following critera:

Contest Rules Changes
Several months back the Board of Governors revised the rules for our monthly competition. It was decided that 11x14 was the largest print size that can be entered. This size is for the image area only, the mat/border can be larger. Mats, plastic sleeves or frames can be used to protect or enhance the display of the photograph although they are not required. Photos that exceed this size will not be judged but they will be displayed.
Also, two existing rules still apply:
You have to be a member in good standing to enter.
You can only have 4 entries per contest.

The contest is designed to get the members involved in shooting new images, trying new ideas and making great photos. The contest are based on themes and images should reflect the members interpretation of the theme.
