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 July 25, 2024 6:30-8:30 PM
The room is open at 6PM to encourage fellowship and discussions, as well as grab some refreshments.
The Judging Perspective with Robin Stevens
So much of modern photography is about impact. What’s going to stop
you as you’re scrolling through social media to spend a few seconds
looking at an image? But judges in photography competitions view the
world differently. Of course impact is important, but so is story-telling and
technical excellence. Judges must holistically evaluate the technical and
artistic merits of all submitted images that may be from very different
genres and select the best of the best. This month we’ll hear from Robin
Stevens about this challenging role.
