This is a club for anyone who enjoys the idea of a weekly challenge or assignment. Each week (beginning on Sunday) a new theme will be posted on the club site. This theme may encompass a compositional effect such as line or contrast; a lighting technique; a subject field such as trees and flowers or perhaps an emotion or feeling. Each member will post his/her best images by the following Sunday and provide a very brief synopsis of the image – tech details and perhaps a very short sentence about the chosen subject. Other members will critique the image and offer feedback on submitted images.

Guidelines:

1. This is not meant as a contest and there are no awards other than enjoying sharing and learning from one another.
2. Please post only 1 image a week
3. Please include as much tech detail as you can so that we can learn from each other
4. When offering feedback/critique, keep in mind that every one of us, no matter what level of experience, started at the same place; barely knowing which way to hold the camera. Disrespecting another photographer’s work is not only rude but against the spirit of this club. We are all here to encourage one another, to share and to learn.
5. In addition to offering critiques, please feel free to ask questions of the photographer, so that you may learn from their work

Some guidelines for critiquing:

a. Very short critiques such as “this is nice” or “not great” are not helpful and should be avoided
b. A good format for helpful critique might be: a couple of sentences about what you like followed by a couple offering suggestions or alternatives for the photographer to try.
c. Rudeness will not be tolerated! Please be honest, but also be kind and supportive.
