Pursuing the Art of Photography
The Whaling City Camera Club is a group of people of all ages and photographic abilities who share a common interest and passion for the art of photography. We believe the best method of understanding the art of photography is through education and the sharing of ideas and mentoring between members.
To do this, we offer a range of activities for our members, including:
-
Regular meetings (twice monthly) including outside speakers, local photographer presentations, competitions, and workshops.
-
Field trips; to local areas or to photographic opportunities around New England (such as festivals)
-
Photo competitions; Digital and Print competitions throughout the year
-
Opportunities to participate in events and competitions with other clubs and organizations
Guests are welcome at most club meetings and events.

Upcoming Activities:
Whaling City Camera Clubs next meeting will be October21st.
This meeting we will be having Paul Peterson Present "Easy Close Up Photography"
Paul has been a member of the New Haven CC for 46 years and during that time he has created lots of close up photographs. He has presented his program to many camera clubs and he has also presented it to the NECCC photo conference.
Paul’s technique does not use any flashes. Rather he relies on diffused natural light. He will show his set up and will show numerous examples. In recent years, Paul has also taken a number of close ups using just his iphone. He will show several examples of iphone close ups as well.
Meetings start at 7pm
North Branch Dartmouth Public Library
211 Cross Rd, North Dartmouth, MA 02747
