The Cleveland Photographic Society isn’t your typical camera club. We are an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Broadview Heights, Ohio which offers a variety of activities for members and visitors alike — from guest speakers to special interest groups, competitions to classes.
Check out our calendar or sign up for a newsletter to see what CPS has planned next!
If you have a website with your photos, we would like you to share it with the rest of the club. When you hover over the ‘Membership’ tab on the CPS website you will find a section called ‘Member Websites’. Here you will find links you can click on to get to other members’ websites. We invite you to list your own website here. If you are interested, send you website address to info@clevelandphoto.org and we will list it.
Our annual CPS Summer Picnic will be held this August 23 outside the clubhouse. We are in need of volunteers to help make arrangements for equipment and to coordinate the event. If you want to help out to help make this event possible, email us at info@clevelandphoto.org. We need volunteers to help make this event a reality.
On Open Critique nights, which the club holds four times a year, you can submit up to 3 images in your style. These are to be emailed to info@clevelandphoto.org. The images do not have to be resized and can be sent one image to an email if they are large sized. On Critique Night, when your image is on the screen, we are able to make any changes that are suggested in real time while your image is being displayed so that you can see what the suggestions look like. It’s a fun night without pressure or stress! This is not a competition.
Magic with Monochrome
Creative uses of monochrome images — black-and-white, sepia, cyanotype, and beyond – can give your photographs a new perspective. David Busch will explore all the ways you can exploit the strengths of monochrome imagery. We’ll also look at the other side of the coin: is it possible to convert your old black-and-white photographs to color? The evening’s presentation will wind up with open-ended discussions of camera-specific topics for the owners of Nikon, Sony, and Canon cameras, with users of Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Leica, Pentax, etc. encouraged to come represent their brands.
