Editing Your Photos is the theme of the Next SCC Photoshare.

SCC Members will share their editing techniques and results at the next SCC Photoshare on May 13, 2026. The event will be held at the Sparta Ambulance Building at 7:30 PM. Members will share two photos showing the photo before and after the editing process. This meeting will be broadcast. Non members are welcome.

SCC's Camera night focused on photo editing at the April 22nd meeting. Members followed along as Frank Urbaniak showed them how to edit three photos. Then they had an opportunity to edit their own photos with the assistance of a more experienced member. Many of these photos will be show at the Photoshare on May 13 where members can share the results of what they learned about editing their photos.

Current News

Outings!

Another great outing to Sandy Hook to photograph the recently opened Sandy Hook Life Saving Station. They will use the photos taken by the members to advertise the Station in the future.

Child's Park, Pennsylvania

A cool and cloudy day aided SCC members in getting some great photos of the waterfalls at Child's Park recently. Long exposure was the theme of the day. Members were able to practice using their neutral density filters to slow down the falls and emphasize the whirlpools. A fun day for everyone!

Liberty State Park in New Jersey!

Weather scared off several attendees but those who came enjoyed good weather and great views to shoot. ( A few of the attendees pictured below.) The cherry blossoms were out which enhanced the photo taking experiences. Everyone had a great time.
