Share & Learn

Overview

The original OCC challenge program has been officially revitalized as "Share & Learn".   The program remains focused on advancing the photography skills of all club members in a friendly atmosphere.   "Share & Learn" presents an opportunity for each of us to share our expertise and to learn from other members to the benefit of all. ​

​

Share & Learn Rules
  

The rules are simple.  Load a maximum of 3 your images onto a tablet or laptop, or bring as  prints,  and come prepared to discuss your work with your fellow club members.  Images may not be presented on cell  phones as the screens are too small for round table presentation purposes.  The images may be captured on any type of camera.   Cell phone images are welcome, but they must be presented on larger screen devices (tablets or laptops) or as prints.  

 

Images may be of any genre of photography.  Members are encouraged to experiment outside their photographic comfort zones, to expand their artistic and technical skills, behind the camera and in post processing.   Have a purpose to why you are going to share the image(s ) you want to show.    What were you wanting to say? Hoping to learn? To improve?  To share?  How did you create your image?  How did you deal with challenges in the field?  Please do not come with the sole intent of sharing your holiday pictures and talking
about your adventures.  The focus must be on the photography.

​

​No judges or scores. Critiquing is your decision – consider asking for input and advice from others on the spot, or not. 

 

There is no timeline as to when the photo was taken.  You may show images you have previously submitted to Capture Oakville or other club programs, for the purpose of seeking constructive feedback from the attending members.  

 

All submitted images must be the maker's own work.  You are free to experiment with AI  to generate part of the image but this
should be disclosed in your presentation.  Keep it clean – no watermarks.


Logistics

 

Meet as usual at QEPCC black box.   Participants are seated in groups of 4 where everyone will have approximately 5 minutes to show and discuss their image(s).  After each session is finished, participants will move to another group and share their images with new people. Think of it as photography speed dating!  As the program is still developing the logistics may change if warranted to make the sessions better. 


Share & learn meetings are held in person 2-3 times per season and are posted on the website calendar.  The program is  open to
current, paid-up club members only. 

​

You are encouraged to send a copy of the images you show to challenges@oakvilllecameraclub.com, so that they may be posted in the Share and Learn Gallery on the OCC Website.  

 
As always, I invite and appreciate your suggestions and comments. Please be sure to monitor the OCC website.  https://www.oakvillecameraclub.com
