Happy Holidays to all Club Members!
Our January 4 meeting will be a program on Winter Photo Techniques. When, where, and how do we take advantage of our winter photo ops? Is it ever too cold to shoot?
Plan to learn about a few winter tips you might not already know, and if you have a few winter photo tips to share, please plan on sharing them with our members.

Gadget Demonstration
Please share your creative secrets! Have you used a special gadget to enhance your techniques and achieve an unusual effect in your images? Or do you have a go-to item that makes your life easier in the field to take that perfect picture?
Please bring it to the club and share with others how you have used it with some examples of pictures you have taken. This could be a glass prism set, uncommon filter, or a special tool for lighting that has significantly contributed to your development as a photographer. Let’s learn from each other, enhance our photos, and improve our techniques.
We ask each member to bring up to three items and be ready to demonstrate their use.
See you all on Wednesday. New members always welcome.

Travel Photography is a great way to bring others along on your adventures without having to pay for their plane tickets! There is a big difference between vacation snapshots and travel photography, and this program will help you make that leap. Join Sony Tech Rep., Barrett McGivney, as he covers the basics of travel photography from the best gear to bring with you, to the different photographic genres that fall under “travel photography,” tips on how to shoot them, and recommend what to do before/during/after your trip. Join us for this new fun informative program to open our new season at ACC.
The Arlington Camera Club was formed in 1988 to promote photography and improve the photographic skills of its members.
