PROGRAMS

Program meetings are learning experiences that may be purely inspirational, while others may be more tutorial.  They include presentations by guest speakers or by members and some meetings may feature audience participation with hands-on learning or group discussion.  Program meetings are held usually on the second or fourth Wednesdays of each month, but check the NBCC Calendar, as meetings may vary to accommodate holidays or other events.

 

The 2019-2020 program schedule included topics that included abstract photography; a unique perspective on reflections made with mirrors, water and the human body; and an interesting presentation on creating a successful photographic portfolio.  Several of our club members hosted programs on how to create and present a photo essay, as well as personal journeys reflected through their photographic experiences using poetry, composites, and other post-processing techniques.

 

The rich diversity of recent programs is illustrated below.
