Our presenter this evening was Club member Mike Blazek, who spoke to us about “Capturing The Light”. Mike went over some of the history of image making, dating back to cave drawings, then canvas paintings, to early advances in photography. The one constant was how the direction of light was the key to interesting images. The Club thanks Mike for his fascinating presentation. We all learned a lot.

Dave Noordhoff was our featured presenter in our monthly feature What I Shoot. Dave concentrated on a trip he took to New Mexico where he captured images of rock formations, caves, mountains, abandoned places, churches, a hot air balloon festival and locally grown food. Dave’s photos gave us a clear indication of what great photo-ops await us in the American South-West. Let’s hope we get the chance to go there soon.

Jana Smith reviewed the submissions to January’s Photo Challenge. High scores went to Keith Blackwell (25 pts and 23.5 pts), Linda Pepper (25 pts) and Kellie Watson (23.5). You can see these excellent photos on our Club Photos page.

We remind everyone that several new items have been added to The Club’s Buy/Sell page.

Our next ZOOM meeting will be held in two weeks, on February 9th at 7PM. Former Chatham Camera Club member turned pro photographer, Chad Barry will present “A Look At Post-Processing.”

The camera is sometimes an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong.
