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.

May Meeting
Our May meeting was somewhat unusual in that our president, the right honorable John Steady, was out of state on family business so the meeting was hosted by the Vice President, Alan Welch. Also, instead of an outside presenter, we had three club members, Alan, Ed Hall, and Rick Meyer hold quick mini - classes in subjects geared to be helpful. Alan spoke on preparing prints for our major competitions, Ed discussed calibrating monitors for color and brightness as well as cleaning your camera's sensor, and Rick laid out general care and feeding of photo equipment. There was the normal mini comp and Mike Vaughn opened an initiative to write an article showcasing the club for every issue of the Folks Journal. Then we broke so members could photograph the antique auto exhibit in downtown New Bern.
Life is good. Below are candids by Kathy Tucci.
