Slideshow from April 13, 2023 Evaluations
We suggest that everyone continue to stay safe and follow the guide lines and regulations of the local health authority.
Our Evaluation meetings are held online using Zoom.
Many of our members have found that the evaluations online give the viewer a much better experience.
Our Education meetings are mainly in person and a few will be on Zoom depending on the nature of the topic.
From September through June we meet twice monthly, usually on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month from 7:00 - 9.00 pm either on Zoom or In Person at the Vernon Community Arts Centre.
The first meeting of each month is our Evaluation night presented using the Zoom platform.
Members submit images on set themes for constructive feedback and evaluation by fellow club members.
Having your images evaluated helps develop and improve as a photographer.
This can help you learn what makes a good image great so you can apply these insights to your own efforts.
Please refer to our Image Submission Guidelines for details.
Please submit your evaluation entries to the club general email address - [email protected]
Our second meeting of the month is our Education night, which comprise guest presentations, photo workshops, hands-on projects and photo challenges, etc.
Our first meeting in January a members' showcase and pot luck supper, held at the Arts Centre meeting room where we have all of our in-person meetings.
Our last meeting in June is normally a gathering at a local location for a photo opportunity and socializing as we head into the summer.
We also have a number of outings - normally once a month. Details on the outings is posted on the
outings page.
