Venice Camera Club, Venice, Florida

VCC Interests include bird photography, bird and bird photography, and oh yes, bird photography. We even show photographs taken by spouses (who we hate to admit may be the better photographers), and even our own Ben Franklin who takes photographs from a kite. We even have a 35 mm slide photographer (that’s a little plastic square with film in the center) and, oh yes, we manipulate every image and we’re proud of it.
If you don't like birds, come anyway. You'll find your own support group at the Venice Camera Club ... many members, maybe the majority, enjoy showing photographs with NO birds. Here are some of the other interests members list:  Animals, Architecture, Beach, Family, Flowers, Friends, Gatherings, Kites, Landscapes, Nature, Outdoors, People, Pets, Portraits, Real Estate, Scenic, Sports, Sunsets, Travel, Vehicles, Waterfalls, and Wildlife.

Activities include weekly meetings Monday 9:30 to 11:30 AM.Our annual dues are $40, Check payable to the Venice Camera Club/ VCC.

We encourage members to bring prints to show (since the printed image is our real goal). You may also bring digital images which we project. It's a great opportunity to ask questions and share techniques. Often a question will lead to a demonstration of a particular technique in Photoshop.

When you come to the meetings, don't take anyone seriously. We're not big on critiques (unless asked for advice), but we love to give each other a hard time. If you stand a little ribbing and enjoy laughing, come join us, we have a good time together.

Occasionally we take Field Trips which encourage practice, fun and fellowship.

Many also go out to eat after the meetings ... another good opportunity to get to know the other members. You're invited.

Directions
We meet Monday's at 9:30 a.m. at the Pinebrook South Club House, 1343 Featherbed Lane, , Venice.
