Stamford Photography Club

Sometimes an airshow really tests our photography skills.

There is so much to take in and photograph: planes in the air, aircraft on the ground, pilots, details, abstracts, crowds, and so much more.

The light can be tough. Sometimes it is very bright and highlights blow out. Sometimes it is dark and flat. And sometimes we get lucky — the light is just right, and the clouds add the perfect finishing touch.

This image features the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, legendary during World War II. This aircraft is Sentimental Journey, one of the very few restored B-17G bombers still flying today. This image was taken at the World War 2 Weekend in Reading, PA.

Photography offers so many different genres, and over time we each begin to settle into what pleases us most. Stay active. Keep shooting. Keep learning.

🌧️ Rainy Day Creativity in Full Bloom 🌺

Who says gray skies mean no photography? One of our talented members turned a rainy day into something truly beautiful—using light, texture, and a stunning iris to create a moody, captivating image.

Rain can be the perfect opportunity to slow down, experiment, and see familiar subjects in a whole new way. Water droplets, soft light, and a bit of creativity can transform even the simplest scene.

💡 What do YOU like to photograph when the weather keeps you inside or close to home? Share your favorite rainy day shots in the comments!

Why We Photograph – Stamford Photography Club

At the Stamford Photography Club, photography is more than a hobby—it’s a way of seeing, exploring, and sharing the world. Each photo captures a moment, a detail, or a story that might otherwise go unnoticed. It does not matter if you use a big camera or a mobile phone. The art is what counts.

We photograph to preserve memories, to notice the beauty in everyday life, and to challenge ourselves to look closer. Every frame is a choice to pause, reflect, and connect with the world around us.

Most of all, we photograph to share. Through exhibitions, competitions, and club gatherings, our images spark conversation, inspire creativity, and bring members together. Photography is how we celebrate life, tell stories, and connect—one frame at a time.

Let’s make the 2026 season one to remember for YOU —TOGETHER!

Photography grows when curiosity leads and fear takes a back seat. Experimenting—trying a new technique, breaking a compositional rule, or exploring a subject outside your comfort zone—is how creative voices are formed. Some ideas work, some don’t, but every attempt sharpens your eye and strengthens your vision. Playing it safe rarely moves your photography forward.

The Stamford Photography Club is built for that kind of growth. It’s a place where experimentation is encouraged, thoughtful critique is the norm, and fellow photographers understand the courage it takes to show new work. In this nurturing environment, photographers at every level can explore, refine, and evolve—learning not just from success, but from the process itself.
