Please consider joining or renewing your membership!

Details for doing this are at our Membership tab.

Please join us!  All are welcome to our next meeting, which will be on November 10, 7:00-8:30 PM!  Learn what we have to offer for amateur photographers.  Our  in-person meetings are held at the Westwood Village Condo Community Room, 175 Court Drive, Fairlawn.

Note: there is an error in the location of our meetings as provided by Google Maps. From the corner of Smith Road and W Market St, follow Smith Road South past Fairlawn City Hall.  When you reach Court Drive turn right onto Court Drive (not left) and follow the street to the end, until you see the sign for 175 Court Drive.  The meeting room is on the right at the end of Court Drive.  The ‘Waze’ app provides correct instructions. If you have trouble finding the meeting location or you have questions, send us an email at info@akroncameraclub.org. or call Dave at 330-573-4661.

Our presenter for the night David Busch.  With more than 3 million books in print, David D. Busch is the world’s #1 selling camera guide author with more than 250 books published since 1983.  He became devoted to taking photos at concerts and performances in the mid-1960s and has photographed many well known musical artists such as Joe Walsh, B.B. King, Janis Joplin, Todd Rundgren and David Crosby to name a few.
 

His program “Photographing Concerts” is a how-to presentation that explains techniques and tips non-professional photographers can use to produce compelling photos of rock, jazz, folk, and country musicians on stage, as well as other artists, including ballet and modern dance performers.  He covers the easiest ways to get access, choosing equipment, and shooting advice, all illustrated with examples and anecdotes from his own published work. You’re invited to ask questions about how any particular photo or event was photographed during the presentation or in the Q & A session that follows.

     A Bit of History

     Our club traces its roots to the late 1800's, but with the onset of WW I, the group suspended activities.   They later were resumed in 1937, and then incorporated shortly thereafter. A famous early member was Willard Seiberling, son of F. A. Seiberling, founder of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.  He would host wonderful photo outings at Stan Hywet Hall, his family home.
 

Over time, we have evolved from film to the digital era, and are mostly active in projected media, with an occasional local display of prints at public locations.
