September’s Theme for critique/competition, inspired by our last guest – Mario Corvetto. Mario’s shots largely focused on people.. varieties of portraits taken during his travels, portraying something of the life, circumstance, natural moment in time captured. If you have a trip to a faraway land planned, WONDERFUL!! Otherwise, faces in the crowd.. interesting moments.. surround us everyday, just about everywhere. See what you can capture, to share with club members at the next meeting..

More experienced members “interested in mentoring”.. as well as members “interested in being mentored” are asked to email Co-President Annie (Annie@coppock.com) for a pairing-up process of one-on-one mentoring. Our monthly general meetings, and regular mentoring sessions, are wonderful opportunities to listen, learn, and contribute. But from time to time, we all experience the need to have specific questions answered.. technical settings explained in detail.

Metering Mode, Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority… just some of the many camera settings we need decide. Pat will discuss the settings he uses, and the “why” behind those settings. He will then open the topics for discussion. Whether new to photography and wondering how the more experienced arrive at the settings they tend to use, or… another Pro interested in comparing and sharing, it should prove to be an evening of lively discussion. All skill levels welcome!

Join us at 7 PM (6:30 – social time) at Evergreen Fire Station #2 in Bergen Park.
