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 124+ 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.

Fall major competition

Our Fall Competition is over and congratulations to all winners and participants. Although the field was smaller than in past events the competition was just as fierce and our two esteemed judges, Karl Chiang and Virginia Spencer, admitted that there were a number of tough decisions. Here are  Claire Hageman's photos of the event and as soon as the winners send their photos to the web master and newsletter publisher we will open the gallery for viewing.
