By way of background, the North County Photographic Society is devoted to all types of photography. We meet monthly to share our experiences, improve our skills, and enjoy the camaraderie of photography. We have approximate 150 members, made up of both amateur and professional photographers. Usually, 60 to 75 attend the meetings. We are a fun group and we really look forward to your presentation.
