• 42 members and 4 guests attended our December 10th meeting.
• The Club held its annual Buy/Sell night, where many pieces of photo equipment changed hands. Thanks to all of those who participated.
• Our other featured event of the evening involved our members bringing their cameras to the meeting and using provided props to learn about achieving a soft, blurry background. A special thanks goes out to Tere Deslippe and Mary Craig for putting this evening together. Their hard work and dedication makes our club stronger and their efforts are truly appreciated. Photos from the meeting can be found on our
Club Photos Page.
For a review of some techniques you can use to achieve an out-of-focus background, take a look at this YouTube video.
• Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 14th when music photographer Richard Belland will be our guest speaker. Richard’s topic for this evening will be Orchestrating The Big Shoot.
