Who We Are

We are people who love photography.  We are avid amateurs, beginners, old hands, semi-pros, experts, dabblers, connoisseurs,  novices, fans, professionals, and life-long learners. We use DSLR’s, mirrorless cameras, smart phones, film, all sorts of gear, and all types of processing software that you’ve ever heard of and some you probably haven’t. 
We investigate all types of photography from portrait to wildlife, A to Z. 
We love photography. 
If there is something you’d like to learn or something you’d like to teach, join us!
You can see samples of our work in the slideshows below.

What We Do

General Meetings are the 1st Wednesday of each month, with open discussions starting at 6:60 pm and the formal meetings starting at 7 pm.  Meeting are held in-person at the Lutheran Village at Miller’s Grant, 9000 Fathers Legacy, Ellicott City or (especially in the winter) via ZOOM.  

These meetings include general business, a slideshow of members' work, and usually feature a presentation by a professional or expert speaker on various topics related to photography.   

User Group Meetings are the 3rd Wednesday, every other month (Jan, Mar, May . . .), usually in person at the Lutheran Village at Miller’s Grant, 9000 Fathers Legacy, Ellicott City.  Special sessions are sometimes added at parks or other locations.  Many of the User Group meetings are hands-on workshops emphasizing the use of cameras, lenses, techniques, and post processing. These meetings are more technical and are usually led by one or more of our regular members and provide an excellent opportunity to interact with others and advance your skills.                                                      

Group Outings
There is no fixed schedule for outings, but we frequently set up outings where we carpool to a location or an event as a group and enjoy each other's company while shooting together.  Events are announced well in advance via email, and on the Events tab above.   

Service Photography
One of our goals is to give back to the community with service photography.  Each year there are opportunities to photograph for Building Together Howard County, the Robinson Nature Center, and others.
