About Us
The West
Georgia Shutterbugs
is a Photo Club that was created as an offshoot of West Georgia Photography
Club.
The West Georgia Shutterbugs welcomes all photographers
- from beginner to professional, both digital and film. All it takes
is a passion for photography! The club’s purpose is to educate,
encourage and expand the photographic knowledge and capabilities of
its members.
The club meets the second Monday of each month with meet at 6:30 PM at the Neva Lomason Memorial Library, 710 Rome Street, Carrollton, Ga. 30117.
Club business is conducted during the first half each meeting. During
this time, “shoots”, workshops and exhibitions are planned
and coordinated. The second half of each meeting is devoted to “show
and tell” time, where members bring in their work for display
and/or critique. The Shutterbugs strive for fun and fellowship in an
atmosphere conducive to asking questions and sharing knowledge. We learn
a lot from each other’s point of view. Plus a monthly Photo contest is held with members judging the pictures. Points are given to the winners for an award at the end of the year for "Best Photographer of the Year".
“Shoots” are planned which provide
great opportunities for exploring beautiful sites throughout the state
of Georgia and beyond, as well as unique opportunities for learning
from each other.
“Workshops” may include post production
Photoshop techniques, matting and framing, exhibition strategies, landscape
photography, studio lighting, time lapse and many others. We organize
workshops around current member interests.
“Exhibits” of various kinds offer
members an opportunity to share work with the West Georgia community.
Over the past year, we have displayed at the Cultural Arts Center, West
Georgia Regional Library and other government buildings, local restaurants
and galleries, and at several Festivals in Georgia. Works can also be
viewed on our website. Through these venues, our photographs can be
offered for sale.
“Website” Many of our members
have their own personal website where many pictures may be viewed. This
is an on going learning of technology and we share knowledge of changes
in the technologies to improve our sites.
Visitors are invited to join us at the meetings.
