The Woodlands Camera Club

Sponsored by The Woodlands United Methodist Church

Our purpose is to bring together people interested in exploring the wonder of God’s creation through the lens of a camera. Members of all ages encourage one another and share their efforts to record nature, travels, people and memories. Anyone is welcome to join this club. We are here to teach one another through enjoyable activities and meetings, to make new friendships through a common interest, to support The Woodlands United Methodist Church
through our photography, and to glorify God through it all.

IMPORTANT! COMING NOW
Huge Photo Opportunities and ways to give back!

"Serve It Up"
We have a wonderful opportunity to practice our photography, to give back to this church which gives so much to our club, and to serve our local community! On two Saturday mornings, September 29 and October 13, the church has again asked our club to photograph a large number of local "mission" projects. You do NOT have to be a great photographer. You do NOT have to spend an entire morning doing this! You can do it by yourself, or bring a friend or spouse. Wear you Camera Club shirt, if you have one, and have a fantastic time!
The list of opportunities for both September and October is listed below, as well as a few guidelines. You will not be taking photos of those who are served, but only of those who are doing the serving. At the most, the church will only need about 20 photos from you, and directions for submitting them will be given to you.
Please send your desired location to activities@TheWoodlandsCameraClub.org. (We only need one or two photographers for projects at the church, so please “step out of your box” and go somewhere new. You will be blessed beyond measure!

If you need help with this, contact:
Carolyn Townley (photos@thewoodlandscameraclub.org).
Please send the best quality JPG image you can. You may downsize your image to 1920 pixels (longest side), but don’t upsize your images as that will reduce their quality.
