Photo Section in the 2nd half of 2020
COVID-19 infections are on the rise again in San Diego County. While the Sierra Club currently only mandates to put all personal meetings on hold until the end of August, our photo club will NOT meet in person and continue to hold all club meetings online instead, at least until the end of the year 2020. While treatment of this disease has improved, the general situation has not changed: there is no general immunity, there is no vaccine.
Photo Quest July 2020: Visitors
After our “archive dive” in June 2020, we’re back to our regular photo quest routine: if you want to submit a photo, you need to be an SCPS member in good standing, and your photo must be new, and made specifically for our photo quest. The theme for July 2020 is…

Photo Quest June 2020: Archive Dive – Trees
Normally, we ask our members to make a new photo specifically for our photo quest – get out and get the creative juices flowing, accept a little challenge, do something outside of your comfort zone, stay active as a photographer – all that. For this month’s photo quest though, we want you to go back into your archives as far as possible. We’re calling it…
Archive Dive!

Photo Quest May 2020: Seeing The Light
Photography, the word itself meaning “light drawing”, is all about the light of course. For our May 2020 photo quest, we’re looking for photos where you can “see the light” as it manifests itself as more than just a source of illumination for your photographic subjects. We want the light to be the subject.
