Our club is a full-service club serving novice to
advanced amateur photographers. Founded over 50 years ago, the Merrimack
Valley Camera Club (MVCC) currently meets on Wednesday evenings
from September through May, at the Trinitarian Congregational Church,
Elm Street, North Andover, Massachusetts (directions).
Refreshments and socializing, 7:00-7:30 p.m.; Program, 7:30~9:00
p.m. Please check the Program Calendar
for the latest schedule information.
The Merrimack Valley Camera Club (MVCC) hosted and conducted the
annual George W. Glennie Nature Exhibition on Wednesday, March
26, 2008. This salon is open to all members of the New England
Camera Club Council (NECCC), as well as other invited photographic
organizations.
MVCC President and Chairman of the 2008 salon, Charlie Burke, announced
that the competition will continue using only digital images. He
expressed the thought that the digital format would provide more
organizations with a greater opportunity to participate in this
showcase event of nature photography. Learn
more about the George W. Glennie Nature Exhibition.
Thanks to everyone that participated!

On Saturday, December 9th, Don Toothaker
led members on a photo trip to Rockport, MA. Sarah
shared the above photos of members in action (close ups of Lisa
S. and Joe C.) and says "We
basically met at Motif #1. Shot there in the frigid weather. Got
fishermen coming in with their morning catch. Walked over to Bearskin
Neck. Took pics there....a band even posed for us! Went to lunch
as a group. Went to Annasquam Lighthouse. Went out for dinner in
Essex. Had a ball!"
L to R: Susan, Valerie,
Nancy and Scott
photographing "The Cow Parade" in Boston during a club
field trip in August. Members had a fun time finding cows thorughout
the city.
L to R: Eric, Les
and Mary were among the club members that
attended the Pittsfield Hot Air Balloon Rally in Pittsfield, NH.
Although weather conditions were questionable, eventually balloons
took off making a great opportunity for some amazing photographs.
 Members
also enjoyed a great summer evening at the Antique and Classic Car
Show at Kimball Farm in Westford, MA. There were well over 100 cars,
trucks and even motorcycles to photograph, and their proud owners
were more than happy to answer any questions!

"The World In Her Hands"
© Lisa Smith
"This baby was only three days old. I wanted to show how tiny
she really was, so I placed her in the hands of her mother. Using
a black blanket draped over the mother, I shot her using natural
light, at 1/80th, 50mm, f/1.8, ISO 400."
Take a closer look at Lisa's image.
