In-person and online workshops, presentations and classes will challenge your thinking and stretch your photographic skills. Workshops are hands on and often in the field. Presenters are local or from around the world. Classes on Lightroom and Photoshop are offered throughout the year. We are always open to ideas for workshops, presentations and classes. Meet like-minded Club members and enjoy the discovery of all aspects of photography!
Field Trips and Overnight Field Trips
Antelope Island, Bonneville Salt Flats, Great Salt Lake, Zion Park, Vermillion Cliffs and don’t forget Moab are all haunts of club field trips. Not only area based, the club has some overnight field trips that included the San Juan Skyway, the Palouse, Yellowstone and Tuscany, Italy. We’ve also had trips specifically aimed at nightscape photography with guidance by Shayne Shaw an expert at working under the dark skies. You’ll go with folks who know the area and share points of interest.
Mentoring
Whether you need help on basic photography concepts or more advanced techniques, software and post-processing or cameras and other equipment, we might well have a club member who can help you. Once you contact us we will try to connect you with a club member who can work with you.
Competitions
Competitions are an invaluable way to grow your craft of photography. Participants will have outside judges rank and critique their images in a constructive manner to provide insights for better image making. Competitions occur throughout the club’s year so you have a year-long opportunity to improve your photography!
PSA
The Photographic Society of America (PSA) is a world-wide organization providing abundant resources for photographers, from the novice to the professional. Wasatch Camera Club has a PSA club membership and we can access a number of PSA’s offerings including: judging services to supplement our competition judging, PSA workshops on image analysis, website and newsletter design competitions, and inter-club photography contests that allow our members to be recognized at a national or even international level!
Exhibits
Many photographers consider the printing, framing, presenting, exhibiting, and perhaps even the selling of their work to be one of the high points of their craft. The camera club has been putting together exhibits at a number of different venues with a wide range of themes for almost a decade. Our members have made this a very successful program!
Now it’s up to you. If you’re ready to expand your skills, meet fellow photographers, and get out and shoot, please join us – for a better image.
