Work of First Light Camera Club members in the spotlight at Brunswick library
BRUNSWICK — First Light Camera Club, a group of photographers who have been meeting in the Brunswick area for the past 25 years, is hosting a show of members’ work at the Curtis Memorial Library until Dec. 28.

FLCC meets regularly throughout the year and consists of a mix of beginning and advanced photographers. Members may elect to shoot to a different theme every week and then share results on Facebook to learn from each other. Photos are occasionally critiqued by colleagues with an eye toward improving skills.

Club members are often out taking photos in all types of weather, times of day and locations. Themes that photographers concentrate on include landscape, astrophotography, portraits, wildlife, farm life, artists and studios, abstracts, black and white, infrared, street and more.

Participating photographers include Midcoast residents Nancy Greindl, Gordon Alley, Bill Boyd, Prisca Kenison, Donna Salko, Rob Smith and Craig Snapp. The club currently has about 70 members.

FLCC meets at the Brunswick Naval Museum & Memorial Gardens for club activities at 6:30 p.m. most Thursdays from September until May, starting at 6:30 p.m. Program activities include tech nights, field trips and guest speakers.

Upcoming programs include “An Introduction to Macro Photography” with Matt Stapleton on Jan. 10; and “Shooting for Post Processing” with Joe Reardon Feb. 7.
