The club meets on the third Tuesday of each month. The meetings start promptly at 10:30 AM, and usually last about 2-3 hours. The length of the meeting varies depending on how many photos are submitted for critique sessions.
Not all meetings will include the standard critique session. Some meetings will be an assigned theme where images are submitted by club members. At these meetings, the images will be discussed, and suggestions for improvement may be offered. Each club member is allowed one entry.
In addition to critique sessions and assigned themes, other topics may be covered during the meeting. A meeting may include a short tutorial on post processing with Photoshop or other software. Occasionally, a photo slide show or presentation will be given by a club member or guest speaker. Other announcements such as field trip opportunities, equipment for sale, local events, and photo ops are also discussed.
There is always a break midway through the meeting for attendees to visit with one another. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own snacks and drinks. Attendees are encouraged to join in for lunch immediately following the meeting at one of the local restaurants in the area.
Non members are always welcome to attend Placer Camera Club meetings.
Meetings are held in an upstairs conference room at the Action Camera store in Rocklin.
Action Camera is located at 4415 Granite Dr #200, Rocklin, CA 95677 . Granite Dr is easily reached via the I80 exits at Sierra College Blvd or Rocklin Road.
Each meeting begins at 10:30 AM on the 3rd Tuesday of the month; see you there.
Each year in July, the club holds an annual competition for best digital image, and best print. Each club member enters digital images (usually up to 8) from those images which have been previously critiqued throughout the year. Prints are brought to a club meeting where they are judged that night.
For digital images, a panel of judges selects a winner for the best image in each category. Judges also select the best digital image for the year from all images entered.
For prints, winners are selected for each category from the judge appointed by a club officer. There is also an overall winner selected for best print of the year.
Each year the Placer Camera Club hosts a summer picnic in August. The picnic details are emailed in advance to club members, and posted on this website.
