New Meeting Time!
All Meetings to Start at 7:00pm

The Dublin San Ramon Service District Main Office has recently asked us to please be done with our meetings by 9pm. Unless we can make further arrangements with their facility manager, that means all meetings will now start a half an hour earlier. That includes special meetings as well as the usual pictorial meetings will both start at 7:00pm.

The Livermore Valley Camera Club (LVCC) was established in 1958 as a place for beginners and experienced photographers alike to come and share the joys of photography; with the goal to promote excellence in photography. The emphasis in the club is camaraderie, enjoying other people's work, sharing stories and techniques. If you have always enjoyed taking pictures or admired other's photographs, the camera club is a great place to share your work, meet others who enjoy photography and expand your knowledge and experience in the wonderful world of photography.

The club is based primarily on the guidelines set up by the Northern California Council of Camera Clubs (N4C) of which Livermore is a member. N4C is a federation of fourteen camera clubs located in the Greater Bay Area. Meetings focus on monthly competitions critiqued by outside judges where members compete against other members of like abilities. The judges provide helpful hints and offer suggestions on how to make an image stronger. Our club has an equal balance of those who enjoy competition, as a means of improving their photographic skills; and those that participate to enjoy learning and interacting with other photographers. The club sponsors an annual beginner photography class through the Livermore Parks and Recreation department and also conducts a number of photo field trips during the year.

Please join us! Guests are always welcome.
And when you do show up for that first meeting, don't be shy.... introduce yourself, ask questions and by all means, bring in some of your work. We'll be glad to have you.
