* In Meetup, scroll down until you see **Photos** \- click on **Add Photos** \- \(if using mobile device \- click on ***Select photos***. If using computer - click on ***Upload Photos***).
* Once photo has been uploaded, give photo a title as submitters will not be explaining their photos. The photos should speak for themselves.
* On mobile device - tap on **photo** \- tap on **3 dots** in upper right hand corner - tap on **Add Caption** \- type in title \- tap on check mark on keyboard\. On computer \- as you add photo you will be given the option to include a caption \- click on **Save Photos** once done titling.
* Photos submitted by participants need to have been taken in the **3 months prior to the critique**. We want to see current work / projects. We don’t want to see the award winning photo that was taken 10 yrs ago.
* Theme is open.
* If a participant’s photos have not been uploaded prior to the start of the critique session, that registered participant will be excluded from participating in the critique session.

**Around 5 pm** on **June 30**, a Zoom link will be emailed to each registered participant. The actual critique will be held on a Zoom session from 7pm to 9pm. Please commit to staying for the whole session so we can enjoy and discuss our photography.

Participant submitters will not be explaining their photos. The photos should speak for themselves. When participants comment, they should always begin with a positive statement, before suggesting areas for improvement.

Our purpose is the help each other identify good practices and eliminate bad practices so we can improve our photography. This is a safe and friendly environment to help you improve.
