“Using Reflections to Step Up Our Photography”
Presented by Truman Holtzclaw
We will take a look at using many different types of reflections and show how you can use them to get some unique and outstanding images.
If it is smooth and shiny there’s a reflection in there. Everything from water to wood, mirrors, paint, cement, glass, metal and others can yield some surprising and beautiful reflections.
Come one, Cameras, and all, Cell Phones and we will explore and discuss the pros and cons of using reflections in your photography.

Field Trip Announcement
Fall in San Francisco
September 28 to October 1, 2026 (4 nights)
Would you attend this field trip? The Field Trip Committee is in the process of planning an entertaining and photographic journey through the icon sites, city views, ocean beaches, city streets and fall foliage at the Golden Gate Park. We plan to visit locations that highlight sunsets, sunrises, moon rise, evenings/lights and the ideal day time photo opportunities.

Sunset taken near GG Bridge on one of many walking trails.
To get around we are reviewing local transportation (Rent a Trolley), utilize the hop on/off buses and some car-pooling. For lodging we are investigating a stay at Seal Rock Inn, conveniently located near the Golden Gate Bridge, Legion of Honor, Sutro Baths, Lands End Lookout, Golden Gate Park and beaches.
But we need to know how many club members might attend. Please email Jim Sakaguchi at jimlhpc@gmail.com if you are interested in attending by June 26. To support some of events and logistics, we need a minimum number of attendees. Pre-meetings will be scheduled in Aug. or Sept. timeframes
Welcome to
Through Our Lens
Here’s a new opportunity for all members of our club to
share their photography, no matter your skill level.
Through Our Lens will be published (in pdf format) on
a quarterly basis, which we call Season One, Season

share photos you’ve taken throughout the year, and
share them in this new and dynamic way.

Exhibits
ANNUAL ORCHARD CREEK ALCOVE EXHIBIT
Current Exhibit Runs Through August 24, 2026
Once a year, we are privileged to exhibit in the Orchard Creek Alcove (OC) Venue
In order to participate in the OC Alcove Exhibit, photographers must
* be a current LHPC paid member
* have exhibited in any of the LHPC exhibit venues
The OC Alcove exhibit is different compared to our other venues. We use floor easels, which require good frames with a solid back, strong wire correctly secured, and D-rings.
You will learn all of this from participating in LHPC exhibits.
"We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to exhibit in these venues. The past exhibitors deserve a big Thank You for contributing to our exhibits".
