July Meeting Announced

Retzer Nature Center
Camera Club
July 6th, 2011, 7:00 PM

Our July meeting will review some of the basic, but easily overlooked, principles of photography. We will look at determining proper exposure, and using some of the camera preset exposure functions. We will also see how White Balance can affect our images. Understanding Depth of Field can also make or break a photo, so we will give a basic overview of this important function. We will also look at a couple of filters that can be a big help. This should be of great help for the less experienced photographers as well as a good review for those who are more experienced.
We will also have time for members to share some of their images. If you joined Jim Edlhuber for the outing at Scuppernong, bring some of your images and show others what they missed! Or, bring some other images you would like to share. This is a good time to get some gentle critiques from your fellow club members, and help you improve your skills.
Don't forget to keep working on images for the scavenger hunt. If you forgot the topics, check our blog: www.retzercameraclub.blogspot.com/ . Images will be presented at our September meeting.

See you next Wednesday.

Future meetings: August 3rd, September 7th, October 5th, November 2nd, December 7th

June Meeting Calibrates Members to Monitor Their Monitors

If you attended last night's meeting, below is the handout Rick Mayo distributed during his presentation.  Several links are now positioned in the blog's right hand margin that Rick also mentioned, such as Dropbox.com, Red River Paper and his favorite ink supplier, Atlex.com. Since The info. below was scanned, you can't just select the links, you must carefully type them. To make the scan larger and easier to read, simply click on it. 

Special thanks to Rick and his wife Nancy for spending several hours with us last night.
