Livermore Valley Camera Club
Established 1958

One of the purposes of the camera club is to help you improve your images.
Current members will personally assist you to improve your photos.
We also offer classes as fundraisers that are free to club members in
exchange for set-up and other assistance.
Many of our members are "graduates" from our Livermore Area Recreation and Park District classes,
since it is an excellent way to get our photographic feet wet.
For more information please contact the

This photography course is designed to make big improvements in your photos!
We will uncover the mystery of light, composition, f-stops and shutter speeds.
We’ll show how to take different types of photos.
The purpose of this class is to show owners of 35mm SLR film and all digital cameras how to take excellent photographs.
We will use 35mm slide film or digital images because it is easier to share pictures using a projector.
If you are using digital cameras, please put your images to share on a flash drive or a CD.
Please share your photos, as your ability will improve with class participation.
We will comment on your work and suggest ways to improve it.
If you are using film, we suggest that you buy ISO 100 film.
There will be 7 Wednesday evening meetings at RLCC (all classes will meet from 7-9 PM
unless otherwise noted) and 2 Saturday field trips, 3/1 and 3/22.
