PROGRAMS & EVENTS.
As an OCC member, you will have access to many club-sponsored programs and events. This includes Meetings, Outings, Exploration Sessions, and Share & Learn critique nights. As a paid member, you don't need to do anything other than show up for the events and meetings you're interested in. You may choose to RSVP for each event. This allows you to add events to your personal calendar, get extra reminders, and manage your events in your personal profile.
Speaker Series
What better way to spend a Monday night? The Oakville Camera Club brings in guest speakers who will share pictures of their many adventures around the world. Want tips on photography techniques, info on the best camera gear, or the best places to visit to take pictures? Speaker events are either in person or virtual, as indicated.
Mentoring
At the Oakville Camera Club, we believe in fostering a friendly and supportive community for photographers of ages and skill levels. Our mentors are dedicated members who share their expertise and passion for photography, helping others to learn and grow. Look for the OCC Mentor logo on nametags to identify our mentors and their specialties and join our special Mentoring Events
Explorations
We sometimes need inspiration to go out and take pictures. The Explorations Series assigns a category/theme within which photographers should experiment. This encourages the photographer to try new themes/ideas, solutions and novel techniques. Images submitted to the exploration are reviewed in depth in a small group setting where constructive feedback can help the photographer improve the image.
Daytimer Shooters
Are you looking to shoot during the day and make some new friends? Meet OCC members in the "Daytime Shooters" group, and suggest where you would like to go and get together! Member participation and involvement are encouraged! Join the WhatsApp group to learn more and stay connected with this fun group.
Outings
New to photography or trying to hone your skills? Attend one of our outings. At the outing, you will get a chance to shoot amongst other club members. The atmosphere is always supportive and welcoming of those who want to try something new or expand their skill set. There is no better way of improving your photography skills than with live support in the field from other OCC club members.
Share & Learn
The best way to get feedback on your photography is to get constructive feedback from other photographers. In this series, we review images as a group during a Monday night meeting. Audience members will provide constructive criticism of the image submitted. Two to three category themes are part of every Share and Learn session.
