Our next meeting is the June MEMBERS Show on Thursday, June 13, 2024 presented via Zoom at 7:00 PM Pacific Time.
Everyone is invited to attend this fun and virtually social meeting. Tune in to see what your friends are up to! Register below to get the Zoom link.
Camera Committee members may submit up to ten images to share live at the meeting. Joe Doherty will collect the submissions and run the slideshows.
Photo file preparation instructions and notes:
- Please resize your images to 1800 pixels on the long side (that’s equivalent to 6 inches at 300 ppi).
- If you want to present your photographs in a particular order, add a two-digit number to the beginning of each file. It should look like “01filename, 02filename, 03filename, . . . , 10filename” etc. That way files can be sorted into proper order for your presentation.
- Dropbox will automatically append your name to the beginning of each file.
- If you upload a folder of your files instead of individual files that will help me to organize them for the night of the show.
- Check the latest SCCC Newsletter from Joe for the Dropbox link.

About our meetings
Our meetings are held on the second Thursday of even number months (February, April, June, August, October and December) at 7:00 PM Pacific Time. These meetings are free to all interested parties. Please register in advance for the Zoom link
Our meetings are offered via Zoom to accommodate our far-flung members and travelers.
Each year, four of our six meetings are presentations by invited speakers and feature special locations or topics, photo techniques, or conservation issues.
We are always looking for high-quality programs and welcome suggestions and referrals. If you have one, please contact our programs coordinator, Susan Manley at ssnmanley@yahoo.com.
The other two meetings are Members Shows, when several of our subscriber-members share a selection of their best photos. It's almost like a photography potluck! Look for Members Shows in June and December. We hope you will attend and share!
About Our Meetings Banner
Photographer Nick Brandt brought large scale B+W prints to share for our December 2009 meeting and the best available space to display them was the floor. He had amazing and moving stories of capturing portraits of a variety of East African beasts and of the adversity they faced every day. In 2009, in his book On This Earth, he wrote:
I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes."
