Congratulations to Our New and Returning Officers
Jim Moon, Incoming President
The first order of business at the June General Meeting was the election of officers for the upcoming year.
-
Jim Moon will replace Bill Kress as President
-
Vickie White replaces Bob Dole as Vice President,
-
Phil Harmon replaces Dale Peterson as Treasurer
-
Kate McCarthy will return as Secretary
We are very thankful for all that our outgoing Board Members accomplished and we are looking forward to the ideas and approaches of our new leaders.
On July 11th we kick off a new year of content for our Club: Presentations, Field Trips, Photo Exhibits, and much more. To help you, our members, meet your goals, we need your input. This first meeting will be a Town Hall to get your input on what you want. There will be an anonymous survey to find out what you like most, what you want to hear, what kind of photography you enjoy, and what cameras and other tools you are interested in. With your input, we can bring you the most informative, interesting and educational presenters and materials through the coming year.
We will have a number of members participating in a field trip to shoot the galaxy, and some people away on vacation. But with those of you here in Sun City, I look forward to a thought provoking and informative dialog. Please join us on Wednesday the 11th at 8:30 AM at KSPH for the LH Photo Club Town Hall Meeting.
See you there,
Jim Moon
Message From the President
The Pacific Crest Trail
a Photographer's Paradise
Charlie Willard captivated a room packed with envious photographers. A true nirvana for photographers, the Pacific Crest Trail Program Presentation set summer vacation planning into full gear! Every photographic opportunity you can possible imagine will be found somewhere along this spectacular 2600 mile trail.

Basics of Great Photography Workshop
The Learning SIG is on hold for the summer and will return September 2018 with renewed energy and fresh ideas!
Volunteers Needed for Video Production
The Association’s Video Services Group (“VSG”), a sub-group within the Communications and Community Relations Committee, is seeking volunteers to assist with producing a variety of different types of video pieces. These videos are almost all intended for posting to our Association’s YouTube channel to be viewed by residents.
VSG is particularly interested in hearing from residents who have experience in all aspects of video creation. We want to hear from YOU if you would like to become involved with the planning, directing, camera operating, video editing, audio engineering, and/or assisting more experienced members of the group. If any of the foregoing piques your interest, please contact Peter Beckett via e-mail at videography@sclhca.com.

SCLH Photography Club Facebook Page
This is a place for SCLH Photography Members to have a conversation about photography, cameras, and places to shoot photography in the area. You can ask a specific "how to" or "where can I find..." or "how can I improve this shot?" or "thinking of going to.....does anyone want to come too?" You can post great photography-related websites that others might like. Use your creativity.
There are a few rules.
-
No politics, none, nada.
-
The only things you can sell on this page are photography equipment that is usually sold within the club like reselling cameras, printers, etc. Nothing else. Nothing.
-
Constructive criticism only when critiquing. (Don't tell us that it was a stupid, boring shot, We'll figure it out anyway.)
-
If you are selling your photography, protect your copyright. You may not want that one up on the Internet on Facebook. Post a link to your photography website instead.
