The Club supports a number of Special Interest Groups (SIG’s) to address varied photographic interests of the members. Currently the club recognizes SIGs for Wildlife Photography, Landscape Photography, Travel Photography and Post Processing.
Club members are welcome to “join” any SIG and meet for photo outings, reviewing prints and whatever else supports their common photographic interests. Scheduled SIG activity is published on the club calendar. Interested TCC members may contact the SIG leader for more information.
A Speaker will first present a Lecture on a photographic topic and indicate an “Assignment”.
This Assignment is a call for members to submit images based on criteria discussed in the lecture.
This assignment could be viewed as a Theme, or as a challenge to try something new, or an opportunity to display a member’s current grasp of the photographic concept presented.
Image Requirements: Submitted images will be JPG images preferably in sRGB colorspace to render colors correctly on screen. Size the images 1500 pixels on the long side, which means the image should be 1500 pixels tall or 1500 pixels wide or 1500 x1500 pixels square and not larger. Members will be allowed to submit up to two entries using their Member ID Number followed by -1, or -2 as their entry name. This process will allow the Speaker to discuss individual submissions and identify common strengths and areas for further attention. Example: 123-1.jpg & 123-2.jpg
Image subject matter will vary as specified by the Speaker, and they will be displayed on the Club website.
Members are encouraged to make friends and work together, even on assignments. The Club expects submitted images to be the work of the member submitting. Post Capture Processing is viewed as an expected part of the Digital Image Making process which begins with an idea, equipment selection and actual image capture.
Tidewater Camera Club exhibits member prints in a variety of local venues throughout the year. Many believe that the print is the ultimate expression of a photograph.
A local club exhibit is a great place for the photographer to express a vision and connect with others.
Each venue will come with unique opportunity, whether a juried collection of prints chosen to work together, a themed exhibit or a ‘member’s choice’ opportunity to examine what members believe represents their best work. Often, the prints will be available for sale.
* Dues will cover a 12 month year from date of purchase

Our club supports photography, knowledge about the use of the camera, and a dedication to improving member skills in producing great pictures.

Our members strive to promote interest and participation in the field of photography for all levels and ages.
Since its inception, The TCC has actively worked to entertain, promote, and encompass all aspects of photography.
The club encourages members to share their photographic knowledge through fellowship and friendly competition.
The Tidewater Camera Club, in Easton, Maryland is a private, non-profit organization that was founded in 1963 by Frederick A. Curtis, Louis Coffin, Lowell Thompson, Doris Reid and C.C. Harris.
When founded, in collaboration with the Academy of the Arts in Easton (now called the Academy Art Museum), the TCC was viewed as an autonomous activity of the Academy. Although the two entities are now separate and distinct, the TCC continues to work with the Academy to improve photography in the region.
