CIPPA Programs & Events
CIPPA Programs Overview
-
Expert Presentations – During non-competition months we have a guest speaker who is an expert in a specific area. Like B&W processing or HDR Processing, or Studio lighting for impact. They typically do a presentation, show samples, and illustrate their workflow. Presentations are zoom events enabling us to recruit experts from all over the country. Usually we have 7 or 8 presentations a year.
-
Competitions - CIPPA Image Competitions are quarterly events conducted on Zoom. Zoom Competitions allow us to recruit a judging panel from all over the US. They are judged by a panel of 3 PPC or PPA-certified judges. (Professional Photographers of California or America Certified Judges)
-
Peer Image Review Meeting – A Zoom meeting for members to provide feedback on images they intend to share in an upcoming competition.
-
Quarterly Image Competition – Judges review and score images in advance. During the evening of the competition, the provide constructive critique to the artist. If the judge's scores are more than 10 points apart, the judges will discuss the image in more depth trying to convince each other of their perspective, and then the image is rescored. We have 4 peer reviews and Image competitions a year.

-
Tech Talks - Are forum's for interactive discussion on specific topic. TechTalks can be related to an upcoming outing, safari or workshop. They are hosted by a member, or guest who facilitates sharing of information and ideas. It's a great way to learn from each other about techniques, tools, or to prepare for an upcoming outing. Usually we have about 6 to 8 TechTalks a year.
-
Outings - Are a one day events in our area where we go to and enjoy the beach, local events, one of the nearby islands, a botanical gardens, or capture unique architectural structures. Typically we have about 8 outings a year.
-
Safari's - are multiday outings where we go to places like Yosemite, Death Valley, the Eastern Sierra, or Laguna Seca on a race weekend and share photo experiences, enjoy the scenery, and work on new techniques. Typically we have about 2 to 4 Safari's a year.
-
Workshops - Can be one or multiday events where we have a expert workshop leader conduct a program in a specific area of interest to members. A recent example is where we had a recognized Macro Photography tell us about his work, illustrate his workflow and then assist participants in a hands on exercise from posing, capturing, and photoshop processing. Typically we have 2 or 3 workshops a year.
