About us
If you enjoy learning more about photography, taking documentary and fine arts pictures, and viewing those of others, this group is for you! At each meeting, we share two or three of our favorite photos–whether new or the past. We also plan and enjoy field trips to events and locations that should provide a bounty of exciting and rewarding images. Amateur and professional, fine arts or photojournalism, landscape or street photographers – all are welcome!
The goals of this group are to socialize, learn, and share via photography. Socializing includes friendly discussions about Ocala and nearby places, and understanding how we each see and record photographically. Learning will not stress complicated formulas or how to use digital tools (there are thousands of YouTube/Vimeo videos out there that already do that), but rather understanding how each of us strives to successfully achieve our communications goal through photography. Sharing will take place as we encounter opportunities in our photowalks, events, meetings, commentaries, and guest presentations.
Meetings and photowalks are moderated by master photographer John Elliott, a professional fine arts, photojournalism, and commercial photographer for over 50 years. For more on him, see www.thehumanpulse.com/profile
We look forward to seeing your images either in print or digital format and hearing your stories of challenges met and visions made! And please share one photo each week on our Facebook page! bit.ly/OPG-Facebook
Please watch this space for information on our meetings. When you join the group, you will automatically receive advance notice of the upcoming meeting.
