 April 19 Artist Reception  Artist Reception

Sunday, April 19, from 4:00–6:00 PM at Park + Social, 5200 Glen Arm Road, Glen Arm, MD 21057.

This exhibition represents a special milestone for our Club—one of the largest showcases of member work in recent years. With more than 20 members represented, it’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the talent within our community.

The reception will be a great chance to gather in person, reconnect, and enjoy meaningful conversations about our shared passion for photography. Events like this remind us just how rewarding it is to come together and engage with one another’s work.

Please refer to the link here for parking and entry details.

Program 15

(Zoom only)

Battle-RAW-Yal : Christophe will provide the same RAW image (look for an email with link to the image), one with some difficult lighting, contrast and ISO issues. Your job is to edit to your taste. No holds barred!!

Use any platform you like, and feel free to crop, recolor, desaturate, use AI elements, recompose or create a composite... ANYTHING! There is no wrong or right way, only your way. Show off your skills and show us how you interpret the image using only your wits and editor of choice. Depending on the number of entries we get, each person will have roughly five to seven minutes to introduce the image, talk about their process, and explain their rationale for the edit. Questions will inevitably follow.

Identify yourself as a member of the Baltimore Camera Club to obtain the group rate.  You will need to give the hotel a credit card for a guarantee only.  Nothing will be charged to your card.  You may cancel up to 48 hours prior to arrival with no fees.  After making a reservation it is important to email me at olympus21209@yahoo.com so I can keep track of the bookings.
