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 130+ 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.
upcoming FIELD TRIPS & Workshops

CLUB EXHIBITS We have two exhibits running currently. |
February was an interesting meeting. We tried an experiment with the monthly mini-comp by ditching the print component and projected the entries. By show of hands it was a very popular decision. Color 1st Carol Krom with "Two of a Kind 2nd tie between Bob Dumon with "My, You're So Pretty..." and Chuck Colucci with "Over and Under" Monochrome 1st Carol Krom with "Best Friends Forever" 2nd Sue Williams with "My Hero" 3rd Alan Welch with "Couple of Friends" Digital Manipulation 1st Alan Welch with "For Mister Right" Past-president John Steady delivered an explanation of bokeh which cleared up a number of misconceptions. Sue Williams talked about upcoming field trips. The presentation this month was, again, from members of the club rather than an outside speaker. Simon Lock, Bob Dumon and Paul Harding all gave talks on various aspects of drone photography.
