Most photographs are "taken" but the best ones are "made". If you have an interest in "making" photographs rather than just "taking pictures", then you should join us at the Nashoba Valley Photo Club.
Our club was started in 1982 by six people who, after finishing a photography course, decided to continue sharing their enjoyment of photography. They translated this mutual enjoyment into a concept of "making photography fun".
Thus, from those few who planted the idea, our club has grown in numbers and substance. Now the club provides activities to suit a variety of tastes and levels of experience. There is learning and competition, humor and travel, friendship and the drive to be better at photography.
We are a member of the New England Camera Club Council (NECCC). This is an endless source of material for our educational and entertainment programs. Through the NECCC we have become acquainted with other nearby camera clubs. We participate in regional competitions and other interclub activities.
Our own activities include slide, digital and print competitions throughout the year as well as field trips to a variety of New England places and destinations worthy of photographic interest.
We have served the community by offering assistance on photo based publicity, creating slide shows, exhibiting prints and working on Westford recycling programs.
Our program for this year includes some interesting and talented photographers and several sessions devoted to learning.
Join us! Share your interest and enthusiasm with us- we have plenty to share with you. We meet every first and third Wednesday at 7:30 pm at the J.V. Fletcher Library in Westford, Mass.
The Nashoba Valley Photo Club Offers:
- Special Presentations
- Competitions
- Instruction
- Workshops
- Sociability
- Field Trips
- Video Library

Twilight Cityscapes
We are pleased to announce that Kristin Gleason will be presenting a night photography workshop entitled “Twilight Cityscapes” on Wednesday, October 15th at 7:30PM for NVPC. Ms. Gleason notes that her presentation “includes over 100 photographs taken in various cities of Australia and New Zealand. Full of vibrant colors and crisp details, ‘Twilight Cityscapes’ gives a unique interpretation of a cross-section of Australian/New Zealand culture, with scenes captured from iconic locations as well as several known only to locals.”
Included within the one and half hour presentation will be a discussion on “tips, tricks and techniques for shooting successful night
photography, including determining exposure, bracketing, digital vs. analog
shooting, painting with light, using white balance and ISO settings, color
temperature, and shooting in a variety of situations (dawn, dusk, stormy
weather, candlelight, artificial light, neon light, fireworks, star trails,
light trails and special effects).”
Ms. Gleason will include a question and answer segment at the close of the workshop for members. For more information, please see Ms. Gleason’s website: http://www.kristingleason.com/
