Shutterbugs: Resolve To Become A Better Photographer
Make a resolution to improve your camera skills and keep it by participating in Geauga Park District's free camera club, Shutterbugs Camera Club, which meets monthly every first Thursday from 7-9 p.m. Regular meetings are held at The West Woods Nature Center, 9465 Kinsman Road in Russell Township, and begin with a casual dropping-off of the month's "assignment" on a table for everyone's observation and enjoyment.
Membership varies from school-age to senior citizen, and includes all skill levels. Meetings generally attract between 30 and 40 people.
Each meeting begins with announcements and a monthly instructional session on a variety of photography topics. Then, after a break for refreshments, members gather around the assignment table and take turns critiquing each other's work.
Scheduled winter programming, which is also posted online, is: Jan. 3, Emerging Technology; Feb. 7, Photographing the Homeless; and March 7, Mock Competition.
Registration is not required.
