February 2011

Our meeting will be in the Fellowship Hall to accommodate some hands on practice with our topic for the evening.  I'm tight lipped about the topic, but I can say, "Bring your camera and be ready to use it!"

Don't forget the photo topic is "Doors" as chosen by Carol.  The winner for February  gets to pick the next topic!

July Gathering Notes:

PhotoTalk Topic - color management:
Whether you are snapping a quick photo of your pet or a more intentional capture of your newborn child, getting the photo is only one step in the process of creating a great photo. Three color management areas to be aware of are:

• your camera setting - vibrancy, contrast, exposure compensation, white balance, ISO settings

• your computer monitor and your editing software settings
