Coastal Carolina Camera Club
Workshop Shared Helpful Tips at April 9 Meeting
Ellen Sheehan, club member and Lead Instructor at Photographer's Learning Studio LLC, led a group discussion of "How Would You Shoot It?" at the April 9 meeting of Coastal Carolina Camera Club. The collaborative group discussions around the checklist not only sparked lively conversations but also fostered camaraderie among members. Ellen’s efforts in organizing this workshop clearly enhanced the experience, paving the way for our upcoming "Leading Lines" competition. It’s wonderful to see such enthusiastic participation and learning within our group!
Club meetings are monthly (except July) on the second Thursday of the month at 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall of Shallotte Presbyterian Church, 5070 Main St. in Shallotte. Guests are always welcome. Membership is open to photographers of all skill levels. Meetings consist of informative programs on photographic techniques, topics, and software usage, member photo presentations and critiques, guest speakers and much more.
