WELCOME TO THE SILVER SPRING CAMERA CLUB
Welcome to the Silver Spring Camera Club’s 73nd Season! If you’re a new member, this Handbook will serve as an introduction to the many benefits of joining the Club. If you are a renewing member, this Handbook provides useful information such as the competition topics for 2023-2024, this year’s calendar of speakers and judges, field trips, and ideas to improve your photography and workflow. SSCC truly offers something for everyone. Whether you are interested in the competition experience, or just attending and learning about the process, we have some gifted photographers and great judges who offer constructive feedback in a very supportive and fun environment. Competition Night has made me a better photographer. The Club also offers a wealth of learning and fellowship opportunities, including insightful speakers, field trips, and a monthly meeting called Photo Forum which offers members a chance to receive feedback on their photography from their fellow members in a non-judging environment. This meeting allows you to learn new skills with workshops, and presentations on photographic subjects. All the meetings and field trips offer a great opportunity to get to know the other members and share your photography experiences and ask some questions. We also have a monthly board meeting, which is a great opportunity to be a voice in the direction of the club.
The Club has a deep history and many longtime members. The members are interested in furthering their knowledge of photography and having the opportunity to share the experience and socialize with others who feel the same. It is very easy to connect with the club. In addition to the weekly meetings, you can find information on Meetup, and we have a Google Group forum. In my experience, club members are all happy to share their knowledge of and enthusiasm for photography, so reach out to them at the next meeting.
