Photo Ops Sessions

 Group Leaders

Open to Non-Members

Saturday, November 21, 10AM to 3PM


We welcome suggestions for new set ups or share with us something you would like repeated!   Set up is the day before (Friday) if you would like to assist or just learn to do it yourself at home please let Barbara or Chris know


Photo Ops opens at 10 AM. Come for an hour or stay all day. We do not serve refreshments but feel free to bring a lunch or snack or leave and return. There are a number of fast food restaurants in the area.

We hope that you will be joining us to get some great competition images. If you are new to this or would like some pointers, we will have some helpers there to assist you. As in the past GLPA members attend for free as part of their membership dues and non-members are charged $10. If you have a friend interested in photography, please bring them or tell about the shoot and invite them. This will be a laid-back fun type event. Saturday hands-on sessions have worked well. Thus, the format will remain the same for the upcoming 2026–2027 season. The two hands-on sessions, scheduled for Saturday, November 21, 2026, and Saturday, March 14, 2027, will run from 10:00 AM to 3 PM. This should give plenty of time for participants to photograph.

Each session will provide a variety of photo opportunities for you to take advantage of. These can include blacklight, abstracts, painting with light, still life, and sometimes pet photography. A modest amount of self-starting instruction on concept, subject matter, equipment, and composition will be provided with hopes that you will then be able to take what you have learned and apply it to your own setups at home. More details of what you will find on each Photo Ops Day will be posted as the specific date approaches, so check back. 

Try your hand and sharpen your skills at arranging tabletop creations. Multiple setups of various subject matter and techniques will be available. For some setups, tripod is recommended. Most setups are continuous light. A few might use electronic flash using Pocket Wizards. If using your camera in manual mode, help is available for flash or manual mode. Setups might include glassware, water drops, flowers, macro, creative, frozen flora, shooting thru a sphere and other subject matter, such as dark light or painting with light. A tripod and short telephoto lens or macro are all that is needed. A remote release might be helpful.

Come down and join us for a fun, hands-on photo shoot. Meet other photo club members on a smaller scale and hopefully get some new images for competition. If you would like to get more information, please email Barbara Rozavsky at barbphoto@mac.com
