This is an opportunity for members to share their work through presentation of a series of images around a specific theme. This month, we look forward to presentations by three of our members, Rick Fisher, Diana Frost, and Roberto Calzadilla.

Come at 6pm to learn more about our website -
We will have a tutorial for new and experienced members to learn how to create photo albums and view the work of other club members. We will talk about our forums and how to use them. Also learn about the great resources our website offers including information on printing and framing, local places to photograph, places to buy and sell gear, a library of photography books  you can borrow, a glossary of photographic terms and more.

     Hands-On Activity     

Lighting for Maximum Effect - in Practice

All hands on deck for our May meeting. Bring your camera if you like or you can just observe.. We will have lighting stations set up so you can test some of the techniques you learned for portrait and tabletop photography at the April meeting. We will have some pro lighting and some DIY hardware store lighting. You'll see you don't need to spend much money for professional looking results. Bring any of your own tabletop props that you would like to photograph. Some good practice items might be fruit in a bowl, eggs, glassware, especially colored glass, or anything else you are interested in.
