General Meeting Info
Our meetings are generally held the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm, except in November and December, or if there is a conflict. We meet at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library on Goodwood Boulevard in the first floor large meeting room. Visitors are welcome to attend any meeting. For those wishing to become members, dues are $25 per year, plus $5 each for additional family member. Each meeting consists of a competition and a program featuring a guest speaker. Members are encouraged to submit entries for the competition. We vote on the entries and results are announced at each meeting. Who wins is not important, what is important is the knowledge gained from studying other entries and sharing in the details of how those images were captured.
Next Meeting
This month’s meeting will be offered in-person at the Main Library at Goodwood.
THURSDAY August 28, 2025 6:30-8:30 PM
Smoky Mountain Memories—Presented by the participants of the field trip October 25-29, 2024
The presentation to the club will be given by our own members to share their personal experience on this multiday trip to one of the most visited National Parks in the country. Each person will present a portfolio of their favorite and most memorable photographs from the trip that represent the essence of the park and all of its natural beauty. The program is organized into a creative Keynote presentation and each participant will have an opportunity to take command of the microphone and clicker to share their adventure with the entire club.
There will be time allotted to ask questions of the artists about the inspiration for their images as well as the technical factors in the making of the images. Also, the group will be able to answer questions about the preparation and logistics of preparing for and going on a multiday field trip.
It is the intention of this program to inspire and encourage other members to participate in future field trips that involve travel and multi-days.
