Improve Your Photographic Skills

Two of the best ways to improve your photographic skills are to participate in our Critique Program on the 2nd Monday of each month and to enter our S4C monthly Competitions.

Photochromers is part of the Southern California Council of Camera Club (S4C) which is affiliated with the Photographic Society of America (PSA).  S4C is comprised of 14 photographic camera clubs in Southern California.

The purpose of the S4C Council is to promote the photographic arts and education by holding monthly competitions open to members of S4C member clubs.  You may enter free in the Individual or Interclub Competition with your current Photochromers membership.

Interclub Competition is for Color Images only, but you can enter individually in the other categories: Color, Monochrome, Nature,  or Photojournalism.  Nature, and Photojournalism are reality-based, and cloning or removing objects (except dust spots) are not allowed.  You may crop, burn, dodge, and tweak with Photoshop filters. And add 3rd-party software like Nik or Topaz, but it must look realistic.  Color, Monochrome are open to the full use of your digital dark room skills.
