• Our featured photography lesson for this meeting was presented by Karl Taylor via a YouTube video. In it, Karl demonstrated how different lenses and varying distances from camera to subject will affect our portraits. You can review this tutorial in the video below.

• Club President Mary Craig read a brief tribute to our late friend, Paul Schmoldt, in which she described his many attributes and his long service to the Chatham Camera Club.

• Those in attendance were treated to a slideshow that featured photos of Club members, both past and present. It was great to see some familiar faces again. You can see a few pics from the evening on our Club Photos page.

• Our next meeting will be via ZOOM on January 13th, 2026 at 7PM when Susan Magnano will speak to us about Light Painting. Julie Faas will send out a ZOOM link in advance. If you are not a member or haven’t been receiving CCC e-mails, contact Julie at: cccmembershipdues@gmail.com
