Shutterbugs Camera Club to feature macro clinic in May
Geauga Park District’s dues-free Shutterbugs Camera Club is growing quickly with lots of new ideas and learning opportunities being offered this spring.
Meetings occur the first Thursday of each month from 7 to 9 p.m. at The West Woods Nature Center in Russell Township.
Spring programming, also posted in more detail , will include:
- Competition Night (all may come to watch, but only those who’ve come to a meeting in the past six months can compete) on April 3
- Hands-on macro and black light photography clinics with members Richard States and Scott Theus on May 1
- Member critiques of your photo taken during May’s program or with its techniques on June 5
Photographers are asked to bring one 8×10 print for critique on that day’s theme, also posted on the website. Each meeting begins with announcements and a monthly instructional session or activity on a variety of topics. Then, after a refreshments break, members of all ages gather around to see members critique each other’s work – equal parts complimentary comments and construction criticism, but all in the spirit of growth and positivity.
Membership ranges from school-age to senior citizen and includes all skill levels: from novice with a simple point-and-shoot camera to professional. Meetings generally attract 40 to 50 people each.
All meetings are wheelchair/stroller accessible and open to anyone school age or older. Registration is not required. With questions, contact Sandy Ward at 440-279-0803 or sward@geaugaparkdistrict.org.
