• Club secretary, Barb Ferren welcomed one new member and two guests to open the Chatham Camera Club’s 88th year of existence.

• Tere showed the results of our summer fun project, “It’s Hip To Be Square”, where our members changed the aspect ratio of their cameras to 1:1 to create a square image, and set their picture style to black and white. Congratulations to those who took part in this exercise. You created some fabulous images!
• Dave and Keith examined a few of the excellent prints that were on display. Thanks to all who participated. If you would like to show some of your printed work, your next chance to do so will be at our Tuesday, October 24th meeting. Any size, any subject is more than welcome.
• To make up for a technical issue, Mike Blazek’s slideshow was replayed to the delight of those in attendance. Mike’s excellent collection of nature and abstract photos was enjoyed by all.
• Our next meeting will be held via ZOOM on October 10th at 7 PM when guest speaker Christine Cook will teach us about Color Theory.
