What Is The Digital Diner?
The Digital Diner is a monthly photo challenge open to all ECC members. The aim is to try to improve our ability to create interesting images by taking photos on a given theme, providing a chance to experiment with different techniques and subjects. The images are uploaded to the ECC website and a Zoom meeting is held at the end of each challenge for viewing and discussion. It's not necessary to have contributed any images to take part in the meeting.
The Diner is completely non-competitive and provides an opportunity for members to share with others how and why they took their images, and to get some feedback. Although some images have gone on to ECC competition, many are less polished. The only requirement is to be willing to pick up your camera and experiment!
There are a few standing rules:
- Images are to be taken during the time frame of each challenge - generally one month. The intent is to give some thought to a new project, so submitting older images is not encouraged.
- Unless otherwise specified, you can upload up to three images per challenge.
- Maximum image size is 1600 x 1200 pixels.

Theme For November 5th Meeting - 7:00-9:00 PM EDT
The theme for November's Digital Diner is "Things I'm Thankful For".
There's a pretty wide scope here - this could be anything from a portrait of a person to a photo of a winning lottery ticket or, for those of us who couldn't take the weather this past summer, an early snowfall.
Images can be taken anytime between now and November.
For upload, images can be no larger than 1600 x 1200. Viewing and upload links can be found on the ECC website, under the Program tab (you must be logged in, in order to upload).
Images must be uploaded before the Digital Diner Zoom meeting begins (7:00pm EDT) on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025.
