Photography Challenge Presentations

Over the last six months, seven club members participated in a Photography Challenge. Each member identified an aspect of their photography that they would like to improve and worked with the group to produce a set of images that illustrated their growth in this area.

On Wednesday, the 29th, at Valentine Bowling Club, starting at 7 p.m., the participants will each share their experiences in this challenge and show how it improved their photography.

All club members are invited to attend and see great examples of how these personal challenges benefitted the participants.
