Competitions are the first Monday of every month, programs are the third Monday of every month.

December and January are dark

March 2026

Competition  - Kathy Newman

Program March 16 - Krisztina Scheeff,  Landscapes, Animalscapes, and beyond

Often, especially for beginner nature photographers, the goal is to capture wildlife and make the subject big and fill the frame. This strategy encourages wildlife photographers to create striking and detailed images of the subject. However, when there are multiple full frame images that are all great, what can we do to stand out? In this talk we will explore how to think more broadly and include the natural environment alongside your subject. Instead of focusing solely on the animal itself, broaden your view to include the environment, the landscape, creating a mood to better tell your story.

This presentation will take you on a journey around the world with photos of wildlife, landscapes and how to combine them for animalscapes.

April 2026

Competition  -  Susan Coppock

Program April 20 - Jeff Parker, Backyard Bird Photography

I will cover attracting birds, making photography setups and finally photographing backyard birds.  The backyard bird photography program is heavily weighted towards attracting birds and doing setups to photograph them.  I do touch on some settings and concepts of getting the shot but it's about 20% of the program.

About Fallbrook Camera Club

Fallbrook Camera Club is a welcoming and inspiring community of photographers. We meet online via Zoom on the first and third Monday of each month (February through November) at 6:00 p.m., and we also enjoy occasional social outings in the local area.

Our first meeting of the month is typically a competition night—though it functions more as a review and critique session, since no awards or “winners” are announced. A qualified guest judge reviews member-submitted images and offers thoughtful feedback on what works well and what could be improved. Many members appreciate receiving critiques without the pressure of formal competition. 

Each member may submit up to three images per month in any of six categories: Color, Monochrome, People, Nature (Open), Wildlife, and Travel. The first three categories allow full creative editing and post-processing, while the last three follow PSA editing rules, which carry certain limitations. 

Dues are $45 per year and may be paid by Venmo or check.

We warmly welcome photographers of all skill levels. Members have a wide range of interests, resulting in a wonderfully diverse collection of photographic subjects and styles throughout the club.

Joining Fallbrook Camera Club has been one of my best choices in my photography journey. The monthly critiques and programs have given me insights and tools that have helped me improve my images. BUT it is the people in the club that have given me the confidence and encouragement to believe in my images.
