Digital Critiques
Digital Critiques are held six times each year and are an excellent opportunity for members to submit images and receive critiques by professional judges on how to improve our photographic and processing techniques.
These critiques, open to all Camera Club members and non-member Laguna Woods Village residents, also provide excellent forums for members and non-members to learn from the judge’s comments.
