June 2nd: Monday 6:30 pm: Interactive SIG meeting: All members invited to our Special Interest Groups: Zoom meeting
Are you looking for a group of like-minded photographers to share photos and ideas, to plan field trips, and hold learning experiences with? Join one of our interactive Special Interest Groups (SIGs) at the Orlando Camera Club.
If you have not joined a SIG or are new to the club, check out a SIG meeting. We presently have four SIGs: Landscape, Nature, People, and Abstract. Photographers from all levels can join; beginners are always welcome.
If you would like to see another SIG group added or have an idea for a new SIG group, such as Post-processing, Drones/Aerial, Fine Art, Sports, or your favorite photography genre, please contact the club at education
The only requirement to form a new SIG is to have a SIG facilitator/host who will help organize the group.
We meet on the first Monday of each month, 6:30-8 pm via Zoom.

June 23rd: Monday, 6:30 pm: “Keeping it Fresh” by Colleen Miniuk: Zoom & In-person meeting
No matter how long you’ve been practicing photography, inevitably, we occasionally feel stuck, uninspired, and even bored, which can be frustrating, especially when we are surrounded by so much beauty. Join outdoor photographer/writer Colleen Miniuk for this motivating presentation about why we get stuck and the specific ways we can get back into the flow of creativity with our work. She’ll share how visualizing, growing your knowledge base, and using conceptual blending can help deepen your connection with the landscape and help you create more unique, more meaningful-to-you photographs, no matter where your camera or travels take you.
