September 9, 7:30 pm.  The club's first meeting of the 2026/27 Season will be a Photoshare.  The theme will be Americana, in honor of the country's 250th Birthday as a Nation.  Up to four photos can be entered on Photo Contest Pro.  The photos can be on any 250th celebration event such as parades, re-enactments, fairs and/or other scenes that capture the spirit of 1776.  Shots may be taken anywhere where a U.S. 250th celebration or event is occurring.  Please avoid photos which may have a political message or reference.  

The meeting will be held in-person and broadcast on Webex. Whereas the meeting is open to the public, the photoshare is for members only.

On Wednesday, September 23rd, Nick Palmieri will share some of his favorite images and invite participants to ask questions about any aspect of photography-from camera settings and composition to post-processing and photographic philosophy. Nick will provide competition tips as well, which will be helpful before EXPO. If you have questions or burning issues or want feedback on a photo, this is your meeting. There will be a Photo Contest Pro contest for you to submit 1 photo for comment. This meeting is an unscripted interactive photography discussion. 

The Photo Contest Pro contest is for Sparta Camera Club members only.
