Meetings, Tips & Techniques and Events

The camera club normally meets twice monthly at the Center for the Arts Evergreen, 31880 Rocky Village Rd, Evergreen, CO 80439. On the second Wednesday of each month we bring an expert speaker covering a wide variety of interesting photographic topics.

We also offer a Tips and Techniques (T & T) session the fourth Wednesday of most months. T & T is often presented by club members and is typically more hands-on, covering topics of interest to members, such as cleaning your camera sensor, using Lightroom and Photoshop, and how to prepare your photos for display. After the presentation, we hold a monthly member photo contest and critique.
