CHARLES DIRKS WILL PRESENT A PROGRAM ON LIGHTING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
We will be exploring flash photography starting with pop-up flashes on your camera and then moving on to speed lights. We will then look at speed lights off camera and finish with studio flash photography.
Enjoy the later sunset on the first day of daylight savings time. We are going to meet near the lake house at 5pm and photograph birds, elk, people, and sunsets. Whatever you would like. It will be a great opportunity to get to know the club members. We’ll all go out to dinner afterwards. If you are new and show up later we shouldn’t be too hard to spot since we’ll be the ones with the cameras! The local newspaper, the Canyon Courier, will be there too doing a feature story on us.
