The Blount County Photo Club was established in January, 2000.  The club is all about the love of photography.  It is for the beginner to the advanced photographer. The club has field trips, guest speakers and members of all levels of experience. We do displays and slide shows using our members photos - no matter what level a person is at.  

If you live or are visiting in the Blount County, Tennessee area and would like to join us, we meet the third Thursday of every month at the Blount County Public Library.  Social Time starts at 6:30, meeting begins at 7:00.

Everyone is WELCOME.

  Next Club meeting. Thursday-Feb 16, 2012. Social time-6:30, Meeting-7:00. Room A-Blount County Library.

This month we are going "back to basics". The basics of photography. It is a new year and we have several new members and beginners to photography. Presently and in the past, we have had a lot of request for some learning sessions. We thought it would be nice to have group discussion on composition, camera settings, post processing,  etc... So bring you questions and your camera. The more experienced club members are ready and eager to help any way they can. 

This months contest theme is

"The Beauty of the Smokies." 

If your photo was taken in the Great Smoky Mountains, enter it in the contest. We love seeing everyones work.

Check the new section for the 2012 contests. The list of this years contest themes have been added. We encourage all our club members to enter the montly contest. Enter which ever category you are comfortable with. Beginner or Advanced.
