Welcome to
West Oakland Camera Club. The
main purpose of our club is to advance the photographic abilities of our
members by sharing knowledge and techniques. Our meetings are always
open to the public and we hope you will join us.
Our members also enjoy sharing their images in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.
West Oakland has been in existence for over 20 years and we are affiliated
with the Greater Detroit Camera Club Council (GDCCC).
The club meets twice a month at the Nature Center in Kensington Metro Park near Milford Michigan. The meetings are at 7:30 PM on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month (except for November and December when we only meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month). The first meeting of the month is a digital competition. We compete in 4 categories: nature, color, monochrome, and color creative. We divide the photographers into 5 levels from beginners to expert.
During the second meeting of the month, we have assignment competition in which all members can compete against each other (regardless of experience level) in a digital image or print format. Also, during this meeting, a club member (or invited guest speaker) will present an informative program on a variety of photographic topics.
You can keep in contact with other club members our Yahoo Group. You must be a member to join the group.
To further enhance your photographic skills visit our Photography 101 page. We also have links to other sites with photography tip and information.
Please note that members are not required to compete so don't let the competitions keep you away. If you enjoy viewing dazzling images, if you like taking pictures, if you want to improve your photography skills, if you like ideas on when and where to shoot or if you'd like to meet some down to earth folks who share your interests, please stop by.
