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 and use different lenses.
The purpose of this class is to show owners of all digital cameras and 35mm SLR film cameras how to take excellent photographs.
We will project digital images because it is easier to share pictures using a projector.
Please bring your digital 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.
There will be 7 Thursdays evening meetings at RLCC
