Showcases

Showcases range from spectacular personal adventures captured around the world, to informative “how-to” presentations on the techniques and art of photography.

Showcases from 2020-2022 were conducted as Digital Presentations. Some are available below in the “Previous Showcases” section of this page.

Currently, the Camera Club has returned to in-person Presentations at the Laguna Woods Village Clubhouse #7, with accompanying video recordings.

Club Members have FREE access to all Showcases. Non-club members pay an entrance fee of $3.00. Typically, there are twelve (12) Showcases presented per year.

Join Our Club, and enjoy all the Showcases for free!

If you are interested in showing your images, or demonstrating your process, please contact the Club about a possible Showcase presentation.
