Science Talk with Bob Krugmire at the Butterfly Pavilion
Insect Behavior and Wildlife Photography with Bob Krugmire
Thursday, April 28th, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Seeing the world through a lens can be extraordinary but can hold its challenges. Join us for an exciting talk centered around insect photography taught by our very own bug photographer, Bob Krugmire. With his vast experience on primarily animal photography, Bob has taken pictures ranging from hanging out of an airplane window, to working with wolves and black widows to get stock photos and carrying 50 pounds of gear up mountains to get that perfect sunrise shot. Listen as he discusses not only about insect photography, but about the act of photography itself.

February 23rd 2022 Special Meeting: Calling All ECC Members
Evergreen Camera Club Organization Meeting
Your club has been moving forward over the past 2 years primarily under the efforts of Topics Chair Ellen Nelson, Web Manager Tom Goldberg, Treasurer Bill Vogle and Membership Chair Dick Oltman. As Covid wanes and the opportunity to get back to full club activities begins to look possible, we are in need of some additional members to step forward to help make this possible.
Would you like to see us do contests again? Would you want to hold field trips as we did in the past? Are you willing to put some of your time into the club going forward? Do you have ideas about what we should be doing and how we can get there? Could you put a bit of the energy you have for photography into our organization to help with our goals?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please join us in an ECC Leadership Zoom Meeting on Wednesday February 23rd and be ready to sign up to help us make all this happen.

January 26th Tips & Techniques: Picking a New Photo Monitor with Tom Goldberg
Tom had to buy a new monitor to go with his computer as the old one died. All the things that needed to be considered and the incredible range of products available made this a bit of a daunting challenge. The fact that the monitor was specifically being selected to best be able to edit photos weighed heavily on the direction to go.
This talk will consist of sharing the thought process and considering all the parameters when making a choice like this and invite discussion from other experts in the club. Topics will include:
• Size
• Build
• Resolution
• Connectivity
• Response Time / Refresh Rate
• Color Space
Author’s Note: On March 8th 2022 (a little more than a month after this presentation), Apple introduced the The Apple Studio Display, a 27-inch monitor with 5K resolution and P3 color. It also includes a 12MP camera with Center Stage support, six-speaker audio, three-microphone array, and several USB-C ports starting at $1,599. This should now be added as a consideration for monitor shoppers.
Join Evergreen Camera Club for Tom’s monitor journey on Wednesday, January 26th via Zoom for 6:30 pm social time and announcements at 7:00 pm in the Zoom meeting room.

January 12th General Meeting: New Masking in Lightroom with Kathy Snead
Kathy will talk about the new masking panel in Lightroom, including the ability to make presets. As she has been very involved in working with this new masking panel lately, she has some insights to share. Kathy says it is one of those things that can be confusing at first as there are some not so obvious features. She says this new capability is a game changer!
The talk will consist of sharing her screen and working through actual photos with the masking panel. We anticipate numerous questions which we will collect in the Zoom chat and take on during the course of the presentation.
Join Evergreen Camera Club for Kathy’s insights on Wednesday, January 12th via Zoom for 6:30 pm social time and announcements at 7:00 pm in the Zoom meeting room.

In-Person ECC Meetings Delayed
Prior to the latest Covid Omacron surge, we had planned on trying to get back to our in-person meetings at the Evergreen Firehouse. Sadly, membership chairman Dick Oltman just confirmed with Carol Hucker of the Evergreen Fire Department that the fire Station is closed for public use through January 2022 because of Covid. She said that February isn’t looking good either but no official announcement has been made beyond January.
