Three topics will be covered during the meeting: (1) Using The Exposure Triangle\, (2) Composition\, (3) Mistakes\, plus there will be an opportunity to receive an image critique. \nFour tables will be set up in the church gym\, one for each topic and the image critiques.

At the end of each 30 minute period\, you will rotate to the next table. By 8 p.m.\, everyone will have completed all three topic presentations\, plus an image critique. It is our hope that dividing the attending members into 4 smaller groups will provide a better opportunity for interaction between the presenters and members\, and a better learning experience. \nAt approximately 8 p.m.\, after everyone has had the opportunity to complete all three presentations\, plus receive an image critique\, there will be a general Q&A session where the attending members can ask the presenters any other questions they may have on any photographic topic\, including subjects not covered in the program. \n  \n The Exposure Triangle (Patrick Thompson & Ed Laughlin)Through the use of a Power Point display and discussion Patrick and Ed will explain and answer your questions about \n what the Exposure Triangle is\, how the three elements of the triangle (shutter speed\, aperture and ISO) affect your images and how you can use these elements to improve your photography\, no matter whether you shoot in Manual or Priority mode and/or use Exposure Compensation. \n  \nComposition (Louann Smith & Mickey Rountree)Want to progress from snapshots to beautiful\, artistic \n photographs?

Three topics will be covered during the meeting: (1) Using The Exposure Triangle\, (2) Composition\, (3) Mistakes\, plus there will be an opportunity to receive an image critique. \nFour tables will be set up in the church gym\, one for each topic and the image critiques. As you arrive\, you will be assigned to one of the four tables. The topic presentations and the image critiques will last for 30 minutes. At the end of each 30 minute period\, you will rotate to the next table. By 8 p.m.\, everyone will have completed all three topic presentations\, plus an image critique. It is our hope that dividing the attending members into 4 smaller groups will provide a better opportunity for interaction between the presenters and members\, and a better learning experience. \nAt approximately 8 p.m.\, after everyone has had the opportunity to complete all three presentations\, plus receive an image critique\, there will be a general Q&A session where the attending members can ask the presenters any other questions they may have on any photographic topic\, including subjects not covered in the program. \n  \n The Exposure Triangle (Patrick Thompson & Ed Laughlin)Through the use of a Power Point display and discussion Patrick and Ed will explain and answer your questions about \n what the Exposure Triangle is\, how the three elements of the triangle (shutter speed\, aperture and ISO) affect your images and how you can use these elements to improve your photography\, no matter whether you shoot in Manual or Priority mode and/or use Exposure Compensation. \n  \nComposition (Louann Smith & Mickey Rountree)Want to progress from snapshots to beautiful\, artistic \n photographs? No need to buy a new camera or lens. Instead\, improve your composition skills. A strong composition is the most powerful way to convey your artistic vision and create impactful photographs. As renowned American photographer Edward Weston famously said “Good composition is the strongest way of seeing.” At the Composition Table\, Louann Smith and Mickey Rountree will talk about simple\, intuitive approaches to finding good photo compositions in the field and enhancing your photo compositions with post-processing. \n  \n Mistakes (Richard Smith & Jim Pierson)The old saying goes that “good judgment comes from experience\, and experience comes from bad judgment.” So one could say that Richard and Jim’s expertise on the subject of photographic mistakes comes from their prior vast “experience.” Learn from their confessions\, and it will spare you from endless pain and frustration. \n  \nPhoto Critique (Bob Copeland & Mark Gilliand)Many of us are hesitant to seek another’s opinion about our photographs\, even though getting constructive feedback from really good\, experienced photographers is a critical step in our journey to becoming better photographers. Bob and Mark are professional photographers\, both with 40 plus years of experience. Each of them has won awards for his photography\, and each of them has judged many photo contests. But the reason we have asked them to participate in this club meeting is their skill in helping others become better photographers by providing honest and constructive feedback in image reviews. We ask that you bring one image to be reviewed by Bob and Mark. Let them help you become a better photographer.

Three topics will be covered during the meeting: (1) Using The Exposure Triangle\, (2) Composition\, (3) Mistakes\, plus there will be an opportunity to receive an image critique. \nFour tables will be set up in the church gym\, one for each topic and the image critiques. As you arrive\, you will be assigned to one of the four tables. The topic presentations and the image critiques will last for 30 minutes. At the end of each 30 minute period\, you will rotate to the next table. By 8 p.m.\, everyone will have completed all three topic presentations\, plus an image critique. It is our hope that dividing the attending members into 4 smaller groups will provide a better opportunity for interaction between the presenters and members\, and a better learning experience. \nAt approximately 8 p.m.\, after everyone has had the opportunity to complete all three presentations\, plus receive an image critique\, there will be a general Q&A session where the attending members can ask the presenters any other questions they may have on any photographic topic\, including subjects not covered in the program. \n  \n The Exposure Triangle (Patrick Thompson & Ed Laughlin)Through the use of a Power Point display and discussion Patrick and Ed will explain and answer your questions about \n what the Exposure Triangle is\, how the three elements of the triangle (shutter speed\, aperture and ISO) affect your images and how you can use these elements to improve your photography\, no matter whether you shoot in Manual or Priority mode and/or use Exposure Compensation. \n  \nComposition (Louann Smith & Mickey Rountree)Want to progress from snapshots to beautiful\, artistic \n photographs? No need to buy a new camera or lens. Instead\, improve your composition skills. A strong composition is the most powerful way to convey your artistic vision and create impactful photographs. As renowned American photographer Edward Weston famously said “Good composition is the strongest way of seeing.” At the Composition Table\, Louann Smith and Mickey Rountree will talk about simple\, intuitive approaches to finding good photo compositions in the field and enhancing your photo compositions with post-processing. \n  \n Mistakes (Richard Smith & Jim Pierson)The old saying goes that “good judgment comes from experience\, and experience comes from bad judgment.” So one could say that Richard and Jim’s expertise on the subject of photographic mistakes comes from their prior vast “experience.” Learn from their confessions\, and it will spare you from endless pain and frustration. \n  \nPhoto Critique (Bob Copeland & Mark Gilliand)Many of us are hesitant to seek another’s opinion about our photographs\, even though getting constructive feedback from really good\, experienced photographers is a critical step in our journey to becoming better photographers. Bob and Mark are professional photographers\, both with 40 plus years of experience. Each of them has won awards for his photography\, and each of them has judged many photo contests. But the reason we have asked them to participate in this club meeting is their skill in helping others become better photographers by providing honest and constructive feedback in image reviews. We ask that you bring one image to be reviewed by Bob and Mark. Let them help you become a better photographer.

As you arrive\, you will be assigned to one of the four tables. The topic presentations and the image critiques will last for 30 minutes. At the end of each 30 minute period\, you will rotate to the next table. By 8 p.m.\, everyone will have completed all three topic presentations\, plus an image critique. It is our hope that dividing the attending members into 4 smaller groups will provide a better opportunity for interaction between the presenters and members\, and a better learning experience. \nAt approximately 8 p.m.\, after everyone has had the opportunity to complete all three presentations\, plus receive an image critique\, there will be a general Q&A session where the attending members can ask the presenters any other questions they may have on any photographic topic\, including subjects not covered in the program. \n  \n The Exposure Triangle (Patrick Thompson & Ed Laughlin)Through the use of a Power Point display and discussion Patrick and Ed will explain and answer your questions about \n what the Exposure Triangle is\, how the three elements of the triangle (shutter speed\, aperture and ISO) affect your images and how you can use these elements to improve your photography\, no matter whether you shoot in Manual or Priority mode and/or use Exposure Compensation. \n  \nComposition (Louann Smith & Mickey Rountree)Want to progress from snapshots to beautiful\, artistic \n photographs? No need to buy a new camera or lens. Instead\, improve your composition skills. A strong composition is the most powerful way to convey your artistic vision and create impactful photographs. As renowned American photographer Edward Weston famously said “Good composition is the strongest way of seeing.” At the Composition Table\, Louann Smith and Mickey Rountree will talk about simple\, intuitive approaches to finding good photo compositions in the field and enhancing your photo compositions with post-processing. \n  \n Mistakes (Richard Smith & Jim Pierson)The old saying goes that “good judgment comes from experience\, and experience comes from bad judgment.” So one could say that Richard and Jim’s expertise on the subject of photographic mistakes comes from their prior vast “experience.” Learn from their confessions\, and it will spare you from endless pain and frustration. \n  \nPhoto Critique (Bob Copeland & Mark Gilliand)Many of us are hesitant to seek another’s opinion about our photographs\, even though getting constructive feedback from really good\, experienced photographers is a critical step in our journey to becoming better photographers. Bob and Mark are professional photographers\, both with 40 plus years of experience. Each of them has won awards for his photography\, and each of them has judged many photo contests. But the reason we have asked them to participate in this club meeting is their skill in helping others become better photographers by providing honest and constructive feedback in image reviews. We ask that you bring one image to be reviewed by Bob and Mark. Let them help you become a better photographer.
