Originally posted by DWS1 The formal clubs I have been associated with were very competitive not only with images but more so with having the latest and greatest gear. Most of the members thought a little too much of themselves to my liking.
So true, although there are some around with more 'humanity'

Originally posted by brewmaster15 I have honestly never joined a Club. I do have a friend that took up Photography, and joined a local club in Florida,. Being in CT we could not shoot together, but her Club experience was great. She went on trips and they knew all the Local hot spots.I"d say her skills really shot up.
I do have to wonder though for those of you involved in Clubs, Whats the age range you are seeing? Assuming theres few "young" adults ? Also are you seeing alot of DSLR users?

Almost of the members in the Club i belong to are between 40-80.
There are a couple of teenagers.
No one submits images taken with their phone, its pretty much all DSLR's.
