The Evergreen Camera Club has the exhibition wall in the Evergreen Library reserved for displaying our photographs in the month of JUNE. This is a large display space, and can easily hold 60-100 photos, depending on size and arrangement, so there is room for EVERYONE to show some of their work. The easiest way to display your photos is to mount then on foam board and use Velcro to stick them to the wall.

FREE MEMBER FOAM MOUNTING MEETING:
At this Tips and Techniques meeting we will be mounting prints on foam boards. ECC will provide the material and expertise so you can mount your photos for the exhibit. So, gather up your photos. Size can vary. Many photos need to be 8×10 or larger to show well. They can be much larger if you prefer. Depending on the subject and how much they grab attention via color or contrast, some could be smaller.

As the COVID Pandemic is not over, please wear a mask and stay socially distant at this event.

This will be an excellent opportunity for members to bring their prints and get help mounting the prints to a backing suitable for display at the library.

For the library display, photos can be in frames, or mounted on foam board, or whatever. They need not all be mounted the same. The main wall is fabric-covered wood, and nails can be driven into it to hang framed photos with hanging wire.

You may also bring photos which are already prepared for the exhibit and we will collect them.

If you have photos that need mounting for the exhibit, come to our mounting workshop planned for 6:30 pm on Wednesday May 26. Please RSVP. Email ECC@evergreencameraclub.com to let us know if you’re bringing photos to mount or to drop off for the library exhibit.

We’ve all gotten pretty proficient at image processing. But do you know where your images are? Do you know how much hard drive space you are using or how much you have left? How about your backup system . . . is that reliable? If you are struggling with these answers, so are most of your peers. It’s a commonplace theme among us creatives.

Colorado Master Photographer, Artist, Educator and Chief Instigator Jeff Johnson will help simplify your image storage structure as well as file hierarchy and file naming conventions. Don’t worry . . . all is not lost!

RICK NOEL is looking for Feedback

Have you ever spent way too much time looking for a specific photo? Do keywords make you cringe? There are many excellent photo editing programs out there, however, Rick was frustrated that they were weak at helping him find the photos he wanted to view and/or edit. So, he decided to write his own.
His app can:
– find photos taken in a specified place like the “Grand Canyon”
– find photos that contain particular people. For example: me and my spouse
– find photos shot on a certain date, season, year, etc.
– and much more
Rick needs our help to watch his demo and offer thoughtful feedback with what he has developed.

Join us in our annual effort to decorate the display wall of the Evergreen Library with the beautiful work of our member photographs. Photographs will be on display November 1 – November 30, 2020.

Due to Covid-19, there will not be a mounting T&T this year. Members who have attended previous mounting sessions and are comfortable mounting their own photos may check out material by contacting Dick Oltman at ecc@evergreencameraclub.com. We have one mat cutter, some foam boards, adhesive and a roller to be used at no charge.

It’s time to get back to the basics of photography. Understand what it means to open up or stop down, when to stop action, when to allow your subject to blur and why. Learn which lens is best for each occasion and that ISO does not mean “In Search Of.” Whether you are new to photography or have been shooting for a while, you’ll learn some new techniques in this informative and entertaining Tips & Techniques presentation. Keep your camera handy so that you can follow along.

Ever wonder what the secret is to understanding light when taking a photograph? Virtually every digital camera made today has a built-in tool showing how light is distributed within an image to ensure you get the exposure right almost every time. Bob Coorsen will debunk the technical aspects of the histogram and show you how simple it is to understand. You will never take another image without using your histogram once you take this Tips & Techniques presentation. Bob Coorsen is the organizer for the Metro Denver Digital Photo Learning Group (one of the largest local photo Meetups).
