Monday Sep 14 at 7pm:  First Meeting (in person)

Welcome newcomers and returning members! At this in-person meeting at the Woodfords Club (directions), we will start with an introduction to the Portland Camera Club and our activities for the year. The club's officers and executive board will be introduced. Then on to the Summer Print Challenge.

The theme for the Summer Print Challenge is Macro.

• Everyone—members and non-members—are welcome to participate.
• Your macro image must be taken this summer (after 5/18/26).
• Bring one print of your macro shot to the first meeting on Sep 14th.
• Prints must be 8"x10" or larger, up to a maximum of 18"x24" including the mat; however, a mat is optional.
• Prints must be mounted (foamcore, gatorboard, cardboard, etc.) so the print will stand up on display racks.
• A winner will be selected by popular vote at the meeting! The winner will receive a free PCC membership for one year.

Note:  We need prints to hang at the Woodfords Club. Tonight (9/14) bring in a framed print to put up on the walls of the meeting hall. Your framed print should have a wire for hanging (sawtooth hangers are not acceptable). Click here to submit your image to be hung on the Woodfords Club wall.

Monday, Sep 21, 7pm · Roundtable Interest Groups (in person)

At this in-person meeting, members will sit together according to interest (macro, landscapes, wildlife, abstract, portraits, and street). This is an opportunity to meet fellow club members who share your photographic interests and to ask questions. Although not necessary to join the discussion, you may bring a print or digital image on your laptop/ipad/etc. to show or equipment you use to capture your favorite genre.

Monday, Sep 28, 7pm · Image Discussion (Zoom)

At this Zoom meeting, we'll discuss images in an open, supportive way. Images are not judged or scored. All members are encouraged to submit one image (any subject).
