The Coastal Camera Club is located in Lewes, Delaware, USA. Prior to COVID-19, our club hosted the Photo Beach Bash in late winter to early spring on one weekend day at a conference hotel in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. A large in-person conference is obviously not going to take place this season. Thus, we will hold a virtual event using Zoom. There will be two speakers on two different afternoons over one weekend in late February 2021.

This event will be free of charge to the first 500 people who signup using our EventBrite link found below. All who register will receive an opportunity for a free download of two of David duChemin’s e-books.

The Coastal Camera Club is a tax exempt 501(c)3. We would greatly appreciate tax exempt donations using the DONATE link below. All those who donate will be automatically entered to the following three raffles: (1) a giveaway of one signed copy of David’s newest book, The Heart of the Photograph, from which he shamelessly stole the name of his lecture; (2) a signed print from Kristi Odom, and (3) a raffle for a zoom portfolio review with Kristi. The winner of David book will be drawn at 8pm on the 27th and Kristi's two prizes will be drawn on the 28th at 8pm and the winners will be notified by email. Donations: https://www.coastalcameraclub.com/about/donate/

In addition, the CCC is holding our regular club meetings via zoom for the foreseeable future. Any interested photographers are welcome to join our club by going to our website at CoastalCameraClub.com/join-us/ .

The MPA 2021 “Odyssey of Light” is planned for Saturday, April 17, 2021. There will be two outstanding speakers -- Nevada Weir and David DuChemin -- and the event will be a virtual webinar and will be recorded for later access by members - save the date!

When he photographed her for the November 5, 1965 issue of LIFE Magazine, Alfred Eisenstaedt cemented Marjorie Merriweather Post’s place among the most notable people of the twentieth century. Already well-known as a generous philanthropist, businesswoman, and social figure, Post was featured in an eighteen-page spread that showcased her generous spirit and gracious way of life. With his acumen for capturing larger-than-life personalities in natural poses and genuine moments, Eisenstaedt was the perfect photographer for highlighting her distinguishing features.

Featuring nearly fifty Eisenstaedt photographs and ephemera from his career in photojournalism, this special exhibition will explore the relationship between Post and Eisenstaedt that evolved over the course of the sessions, the illuminating photos of Post, and the broader body of Eisenstaedt’s work documenting life in in the mid-twentieth century.

November 3-5, 2017
Hylton Center for the Performing Arts

George Mason University Manassas, VA

Attending Nature Visions will spark your interest in photography. All of the skilled photographers whose work is exhibited began as novices. The centerpieces of Nature Visions are two exhibits that showcase nature and photo art photography by members of the regional camera clubs that organize the event.

Nature Visions features two full days of lectures by noted photographers, preceded by a full-day seminar on Friday by an internationally known photographer and teacher. Our speakers are locally and nationally known photographers with expertise in a variety of fields. Our vendors sell and demonstrate the latest photography equipment, supplies and workshops.

Another popular activity is the opportunity to photograph hawks and owls. Thanks to the Raptor Conservancy of Virginia, photographers can focus their cameras on these magnificent, wild birds in a natural setting just outside the Hylton Center.

We'd like to invite you to join the Photoworks photography community in our next innovative project. We share your goal to develop and nurture the art of photography in the DC Metro area. To that end, we have gathered together a group of Master Photographers to meet on a monthly basis with fellow artists and photographers, and engage in a photo portfolio critique -- offering individualized insight into the art and craft and goals of photography. We are hoping you can join us.

WANT TO JOIN US? HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The series of 6 monthly meet-ups runs from 6:30-8:30PM -- Sunday, September 17, 2017 through Sunday, February 18, 2018 -- and each session features a different Master Photographer from the Washington Metro Area. The first session (meeting this coming Sunday, 9/17 at 6:30PM) features Min Enghauser, an award-winning photographer based in Alexandria. Min has a piercing eye for color and detail, offering intimate and powerful portraits of both the natural and man-made. The fee for the entire series of 6 gatherings is $100, and includes a personal 25-30 minute portfolio review with the Master Photographer of your choice. In each of the monthly Sunday sessions, the 2-4 students that have signed up for a portfolio review will bring in their cohesive set of images (15-20 prints, darkroom or digital). Each student receives a public portfolio review with the Master Photographer, offering individual insight, guidance and conversation. We'll talk about what makes a good picture, and discuss the direction the student wants to explore. This should help students be better editors of their own images. Students who are not having their work critiqued that month are observers of the process; a uniquely valuable and informative experience. You can sign up for the workshop series, and choose the photographer you'd like to review your work at the following link on Glen Echo Park's website: http://www.ssreg.com/glenechopark/classes/classes.asp?courseid=35086&[catid=4403].
