The mission of First Light Camera Club
is to foster enthusiasm for the photographic arts, and education to make our
members the best possible photographers they can be. Our meetings are fun and
interactive, and we feature well-known speakers in the local and regional
photographic community. Each month we have a digital or print critique night, a
speakers night and a hands-on tech
night. This year we’ve learned a lot about Lightroom and NIK software, flash photography, flower photography, nature
and wildlife photography, and astrophotograhy. Every year we survey our members
to find out what programs they would especially like to have us offer, and our
meetings reflect what the members have indicated they would be interested in
learning.
We also plan 2 field trips each month
held on Saturdays or Sundays, taking advantage of what our beautiful region has
to offer. In the
past, we have taken field trips to the Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine, the Butterfly
Place in Massachusetts, shot many beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and visited many other historic and scenic sites around New England. We have a passion for lighthouses!
Our club was formed in 1990 by a few
passionate photographers. We currently
have 75 members. Some of us have been photographing for a lifetime; others have
just taken up the hobby. Some of us are professionals; others are hobbyists. We
all have two things in common: an appreciation of art, and a love of the
photographic medium.
