Sparta Camera Club upcoming events

SCC Long Exposure Competition (Wednesday, April 08, 2026)

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 23:30:00 GMT

The judge is: Nick Palmieri

Nick Palmieri will judge this competition which focuses on Long Exposure Photography. Long exposure photography involves keeping the camera shutter open longer than usual to capture movement in a scene while stationary objects remain sharp through the use of long exposures, neutral density filters and/or polarizers. This technique allows photographers to record the passage of time in a single image, producing effects such as smooth water, streaking clouds, light trails from vehicles or star trails in the light sky.

Long exposures are also used for night shots, such as Milky Way and northern lights, or where only moon light, artificial light and/or reflected light are present.

SCC Members may enter up to 4 photos in Photo Contest Pro. The photos must be jpegs that are 1080 on the longest side. They should also be in the sRGB color space.

The competition is open to SCC Members only, however, Non members are welcome to view the competition. The meeting will begin at 7:30 PM.
