The Johnson County Camera Club is a non-profit organization based in Prairie Village, Kansas. Members shoot both digitally and slides.

Meetings are the second Monday of each month, September through June.

Come share your photographic interests with other photographers. Learn through club programs and informative sessions. Take part in our intra-club competitions. Show and discuss your photography. Grow through helpful critiques and evaluations. Make new acquaintances who share the same interest and pleasure in photography.

Membership is open to all levels of experience. Whether you are a novice, advanced amateur, or professional photographer, your interest and talents are always welcome.

The Johnson County Camera Club extends to you an invitation to attend one of our monthly meetings!

Do you have a photography website?

Often I hear people debate the pros and cons of having a website dedicated to their photography.  Especially those who are either "hobbyists" or non-portrait artists.  There are SO many options available that it can be quite a daunting task.

I can only give my opinion on the experience I have had.  I have used BetterPhoto from day one.  I have been pleased with their customer service (sometimes hard to find these days).  They have customizable options, while not excessive, certainly serviceable.  Rates are reasonable, and they often have a 2-for-1 sale.  (I have managed to catch one of these sales every time to renew mine.)

Currently, they are offering a 2-For-1 sale on their Basic Gallery... $49 for two years.  Not too shabby!

If anyone else has a suggestion on a good company to use, I invite you to PLEASE share in the comment section below!

~Erin


The details: (From BetterPhoto)
  • August 20th - August 24th - Monday morning to Friday night
  • 2 years of a Basic Gallery for the price of 1 year
  • Includes improvements and new features just around the corner
Whether you have been considering a new Basic Gallery or need to renew, get two years for only $49.

That's 2 years of BetterPhoto fun for about 2 bucks a month!

Offer good for both new sign-ups and renewals. Even if your Basic gallery is not up for renewal in the next few months - take advantage of this offer now, and get two years added to your current expiration date!

If you missed out on the last sale, now's your chance. So mark your calendars and be ready to pounce on Monday. When the "doors open", get your 2-for-1 special offer at:

onOne Software

There are so many products out there... and like camera accessories, software is easy to collect.  Trying something for free before you buy is a great way to explore the product.  onOne offers free trials as well as free versions of their software... as well as a host of free online webinars.  And... (at least from my experience today)... They give you a discount code for a VERY generous discount at the end of the webinar.

Today, I also learned that in addition to a Photoshop plug-in, they also have one for Lightroom.  SCORE!, lol
