June Meeting

The next meeting of the camera club will be

The topic for the meeting will be macro and Alan S will present. We are familiar with his images of wild flowers and we look forward to more images and hearing his technique.

 

Remember homework was to make photos using flash compensation . I suggest 3 photos – one without flash, one with flash at the same settings and one with an adjusted flash intensity. Send to Alan C by Monday lunch.

 

Capture an Idea is CHAOS – please bring your print to the meeting.

 

This will be the first meeting of the new membership year and annual membership payment is now due. You can pay direct to the bank or direct to Ann on the night.

June Meeting

1. We have a presentation on the night by Alan Cole on Flash photography. There will be a practical session afterwards,so please bring your camera,your popup flash and your off camera flash if you have one. Please make sure that your equipment has fully charged batteries.You should know how to operate your flash including power adjustments. It may be helpful to bring along your manuals. The presentation will not be about how to operate your particular brand of flash.

Thanks to Alan for his work.

2.Not related to the first topic, but this month’s Capture an Idea is Flashy. Please bring your print on the night.

3. Remember your homework – Night Landscape. Two photographs. As this coming weekend is holiday long weekend, we have given you an extension of time to get them to Alan Cole.   Please send by Tuesday morning. Sending photos electronically is much the preferred option. It saves time on the night and gives more time for the monthly topic.

See you Wednesday night.
