What Happened and What's Happening: Meetings, Exhibits, and Schedules

Last night was fun. We had a small group, but some great learning and conversation about HDR, photo editing software, and workflow with editing. We also talked a bit about backing up our photos and how we do it.

Thank you to Terry and Lucio for putting together a presentation on HDR. I am hoping to get a copy of that presentation to post here on the blog for people who what to refer back to the meeting and for those who were not able to attend.

We will be hanging a new exhibit in the middle of December. The theme is Bokeh. If you want to show your work, please bring a framed print (suggested 11x14) or larger to add to the exhibit. Also, bring or even better, email a little bio of you and description of your work. Submit work for inclusion in the exhibit by Dec. 18th to Sarah at the library. I could use a couple of helpers to hand the exhibit on the 18th.

We will be meeting on December 4th for our Show-and-Tell.  At this time, there is not a plan to meet on the 18th. We will keep you posted if that changes. The assignment this month is Huskies. We also learned about HDR. Are you trying it? What have you learned, what do you want to know? Need help? At the library, we have the book Practical HDR: A complete guide to creating High Dynamic Range images with your digital SLR by David Nightingale. Call number: 775 NIG. Stop by and check it out.

Another book you may find of interest is Creative Close-Ups: Digital Photography Tips & Techniques by Harold Davis. Call #: 778.324 DAV.  This book will give you ideas for using the Bokeh effect and for photographing colorful water drops.

In January, we will not be meeting on January 1st. At our January 15th meeting, we will be taking colorful water drops photos. A fun hands-on learning night so be sure to bring your camera and tripod.
