Homework for for October meeting

So...you have taken an okay photo, but something is missing. Maybe what it needs is a little corrective work. For October's meeting you need to open the barn photo "Barn for class" on our photostream. Once opened, use the PICNIC editing option to make it better. Crop, color, etc to improve the photo.

When you have completed your adjustments:

If you save on regular Picnic
1. Click the Blue save box at the top
2. A SAVE THIS PHOTO box opens
3. Put your initials in the title box
4. VERY IMPORTANT - select SAVE AS A NEW COPY
5. Click the option at the bottom of the box

If you save on the Picnic.com site there is one difference.
1. Click the Save & Share tab at the top of the menu bar.
2. Follow #'s 2-5 above.

Next Meeting!

Join us Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 6:30 in the Cafe of Madison First Baptist Church. Our meeting will center on discovering what elements of a photograph moves us. What is it that makes us feel good, interested, excited, lonely or whatever. Once we move beyond point and shoot, photography becomes art and art touches something within us! That is what we are aiming for.

Join us this week.

Next Group Meeting

Hope you are working on the theme for August. Our next meeting will be on the 12th and we'll have our first "PRIZE", voted on by the group for the best "details" picture. Get busy.

DETAILS! Get in close...no get in a little closer...you're almost there...there! Get in and capture the details.

Here's a vacation pic to get you going!
