Next Zoom Meeting: Aug 19 2026 2pm-4pm, host Jim Wilkinson
Themes for Aug meetings are
“Perfectly Imperfect” – Ever take a photo that’s technically flawed but captured some intangible quality even though it breaks a cardinal rule, is out-of-focus, or has a crooked horizon. If you have a favorite in your photo archive or want to create something new – break the rule(s)!
“Movement/ICM/Multiple exposure” – capture motion or movement, like panning or intentional camera movement. Slow-shutter panning of bird or plane flying, train zooming by, cyclists moving in sync, for example. Or slow-shutter camera movement during exposure. Multiple or double-exposures, stacking images in a collage.
“Emotions” – after watching the FIFA matches, images of fans and athletes inspired this theme.
Photos from the Jul 15th meeting themed “Portfolio Part 3″ & “4th of July/America’s 250th/SD Fair” are online here.
Welcome to the UCSD Photography Interest Group’s website – ucsdphoto.group. The UCSD Photography Interest Group (UCSDPhIG) is one of several special interest groups of the UCSD Retirement Association.
Our group is comprised of current UC staff and faculty and UC retirees and their legal spouses or same-sex domestic partners with an interest in photography. We have a monthly meeting, every third Wednesday of each month, to discuss various photography topics and share photos. Meetings are currently via Zoom and require an invitation: Zoom meeting registration link.

I’ve set up a google drive share for image uploads to streamline the process of uploading images for the meetings. Create a personal folder and upload image to share here. It requires you to login into your google/gmail account. So if you do not have one, email your photos instead.
