WHAT IS PLANNED FOR OUR  DECEMBER 13  CLUB MEETING: 

VIDEOS of your Music  Pictures, show Alter Image creations, and also critiques for those who submit them. 

And a light Holiday Party.  We will have sodas, cookies, and light pickup foods.  Feel free to bring your favorite holiday cookies, snacks, and/or your favorite beverage.  The Club will not be purchasing “adult” stuff.  But you can. . .  

Our SPEAKER for the meeting will be BOBBY WUMMER , who specializes in photographs on landscape,  wildlife, especially alligators, and lightning, among other things, and enjoys answering your questions about how he uses lighting, and prepares for the excellent photographs he has captured.  We hope you will be there to hear this interesting speaker.   https://www.facebook.com/BobbyWummerPhotography/

We will talk some more about a Lighthouse Camera Club Photo Contest.  And, one of our members suggested we come up with a Club “Project” in addition to our regular projects, such as the Zoo Poster (a visit to be scheduled).   Think of some ideas for themes for such a project or what to do with it?  At the October meeting, we discussed creating photos that would assist a charitable organization, such as photos of shelter pets to assist encouragement for their adoption.  If time permits, maybe more Photography Trivia?  

As always, your QUESTIONS will be ANSWERED.   We try to provide time to answer questions on your Camera, Lenses, composition and Post Processing at every meeting, so bring your questions and your suggestions for other presentations from our group of experienced photographers and other local experts.   

For those of you who also connect with our FACEBOOK page, Steve DaPonte posted a link to a mini-learning Video about use of Histogram and Exposing To The Right.  Take a look.  He will be talking more about this and showing the Video at the November Club Meeting.   

                We ask you to wear masks at our meeting if you feel more comfortable!
