Photography is our passion!
The Grand Rapids Camera Club is a member of the Photographic Society of America and the Southwestern Michigan Council of Camera Clubs. We usually meet once a month for a presentation which is both interesting and informative. This is followed by our photo competition for those members who want to enter. We all get to see the photography of others, and this helps us learn and improve.
Visitors are welcome to attend our meetings!
***PLEASE NOTE***
Due to the COVID-19 / Coronavirus pandemic the club will meet virtually via Zoom through the end of 2020. Please check our Events/News page for information on the Zoom programs. Members will receive a Zoom link via email to join the meeting. Non-members should contact info@grcameraclub.org to request the meeting link.

Image of the Month
Tower Clock
Photographer:
Steve Port
Selected by:
Evie Carrier
Why I liked the image.
This composition is well done; placing the historic clock tower offset to the left draws the viewer into the subject of the shot, while pushing the eye toward the other surrounding architectural structures -- both historic and modern. The brooding color scheme and sharp contrast detailing all at once captures a nostalgic and futuristic mood. The photographer reveals Big Ben in all its beauty, ambiance and history - Evie
About my image.
Some folks know it as Big Ben while others refer to it as the Tower Clock. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have been able to travel to a few far-off lands. To see things that we first saw in books or on TV we now got to behold them in person. I must admit it is hard to compose a decent shot without being overcome by the whole experience. We were up on the famous London Eye, trying to avoid reflections and rustling of the nearby passengers. So many things rushing through my head, hold my breath, steady, and click. Now wait to see what I can do in post-processing. Some work in Lightroom helped me to bring some extra drama to the scene. We all experience things differently and, for me that day, this is what I saw. – Steve.
