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.

post florence notification

The Food Bank photo booth has been cancelled. Unfortunately, the Food Bank is not in a position to do this so our participation has been cancelled. Due to the short notification AND  the difficulty in dealing with the Mumfest crowds that weekend our October meeting will still be delayed one week until October 20.
Links Thanks to Wayne Lytton here's a link to more than you thought you would want to know about Photoshop blending modes.
