The Coastal Photo Club was conceived in 1991 and has grown and flourished since then. The club, based in New Bern, covers much of eastern North Carolina drawing members from as far as Greenville, Morehead City and Swansboro. Over the years we have grown to 116 members with skill levels ranging from novice to professional, and skill sets running the gamut. These include photo shooting, image editing, and digital manipulation. In addition to regular monthly meetings and competitions we also conduct training and mentoring sessions, take field trips to interesting shooting locations, and give back to the community through photography-related service projects. We are a learning and teaching group, our purpose is to promote the hobby and art form of picture taking and we welcome interested parties of any and all skill levels.
Photographer of the Week - Nancy Bryant
Picture
With a back ground in graphic arts and a degree in fine arts, focusing on photography seemed a logical thing to do.  I recently retired and sold the business I started in 2003, Giclee of New England, Inc.  We did digital imaging, fine art reproduction custom picture framing and art gallery.

Club Display at New Bern Library - August
We will be the artists of the month again this August at Craven County Public Library in New Bern. Space is limited. We might have to restrict how many photos each member can hang. The overall size of your piece can not exceed 20"x30" or 600 sq inches. All photos, with the exception of canvas prints, must be in frames. Your photos must have a wire on the back for hanging. No saw tooth hangers. Click here to sign up.
Dr. Karl Chiang Presentation
This month's presentation, "Going To The Dark Side", was on night photography, surely one of the most unique and challenging fields in image capture. Karl is an excellent guide due to his expertise in "star field" and other disciplines of after dark shooting. The meat and potatoes of his lecture, (less images due to copyright issues), is available at right.
