FCCP Weekly Photo Assignment 1: Swings

FCCP events are designed to encourage members to take photos more frequently. Assignment topics are chosen to encourage members to photograph subjects they may not normally photograph. Members may have to use techniques that they don't normally use and in return, they'll gain new insights and skills in photography.

With Assignments, it's OK to start taking photos as soon as the event is posted. However, if you find yourself unable to take a photo during any week, it's OK to upload one from your archive, but please include a caption stating that it's "From My Archive."

Here are a few "Swings" photos to get you thinking. http://tinyurl.com/ye24b7uz

Once you have completed the Assignment go to the RSVP page and upload your photos to the event. Please limit the size of your photos to a long edge of approx. 2,000 pixel and don't start uploading photos to Meetup before 5:00 PM, Thursday 1/4/2024. You may want to consider also posting your photos to our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FLCCP/

Please group all your Facebook photos for any one Assignment together, so as not to overwhelm the feed.

All group members are encouraged to enjoy the photos that are posted by the participants of this Assignment and add comments of encouragement and appreciation.

Good luck and good shooting.

Upcoming FCCP Photo Tours for 2024.

The list includes our famous fall tour to Yellowstone National Park, a spring Yellowstone tour, a summer tour to Glacier National Park, Spring tour of Western Montana including several ghost towns and Yellowstone and lastly a Fall tour to Yosemite National Park.

These tours are the most flexible we’ve ever offered. Many members have told us they want to schedule their own hotels. Members have accumulated many hotel loyalty points/rewards and they want to use them. We’re also offering a great group rate on local hotels for those that don’t have reward nights to use up.

Where you buy your gear matters. You expect to get what you ordered and you want to pay a low price for it. The retailers Jeff recommend below are the ones he trusts for his own purchases.
