Welcome to the Racine Camera Club Web Site
The Racine Camera Club welcomes you to its website, which we hope will inspire photographers of all skill levels and interests. Browsing through our photo gallery will introduce you to some of
our members' artwork, as we strive to promote their creativity through exhibits, competitions, publications and the internet. Over the coming weeks we will continue to expand our galleries and site content.
Be sure to check back on a regular basis.
The photo club has started a monthly competition for photo club members and the general public. Every month a different topic is selected. Contributors can submit an image for that category prior to the next club meeting.
All attendees at the meeting then vote for their favorite image. This provides all of us with an opportunity to exercise our creative juices on a different topic every month.
Everyone is strongly encouraged to participate in the monthly competition.
The category for the February Picture of the Month is Shadow. Entries should be identified FirstInitialLastName_Title
with the longest side at 1024 pixels. You can send your entry to POTM
What's New on Our Web Site
We've have replaced our Photo Gallery Viewer with a version which will present you with a slideshow format for our different photo galleries. The slideshow will open in a new browser window.
When you are finished viewing the slideshow, you can close the window and the RCC web site window will still be there. Your browser may consider the gallery window to be a pop up window.
So, If you have pop-up windows blocked and get a message that the browser has blocked a pop-up, please click on the message to allow pop-ups from this site.
This new format will allow you to see the a much larger image (depending on screen size) than before.
When you click on the gallery, it will automatically start the slideshow. Some menu options and thumbnails will be displayed at the top of the screen.
If you don’t move the mouse for a few seconds, those will fade away and you will only see the pictures. If you move the mouse again, those items will reappear.
That top section of the viewing area contains controls for managing the slideshow. From left to right these are:
- A slider which controls the length of time each image is displayed.
- Playback controls which allow you to pause, start, and advance forwards & backwards through the pictures
- An Options drop down list you can set for the slide show (I would recommend that you leave the options as is until you get more familiar with the slideshow)
- A dropdown Help list of keyboard shortcuts to control the playback of the slideshow
- A Return to Album option. This will allow you to view other photo galleries manually without the use of the slideshow.
This will take some experimentation on your part to learn how the software works. If you chose this option, you can close the window at any time to exit the photo galleries.
- The last item on the far right is a small square made of 4 arrows. If you click on this, the browser window will disappear and the slideshow will be displayed full screen.
This is the recommended method to view the slide show. If you press the Esc key, the slide show will once again be displayed in the browser window.
Also just underneath these controls will be a row containing small thumbnails of the pictures in the slideshow. You can click on any thumbnail to start the slideshow with that picture.
Send a note through the contact form if you have any questions or problems with the galleries. Enjoy!
