Helping Others See the Awesome Details of the Natural World
Heather Cline was our Guest Presenter for the August Meeting
Heather Cline is a photographer based in Northern California. Even though her experience spans topics from food to architecture, her passion is nature and wildlife photography which has held her interest for over a decade because "Mother Nature can put on a pretty awesome show if you venture out to see it".
You can view the video of Heather's presentation HERE
Basics of Great Photography Workshop
The September Learning SIG will cover the topics of shutter speed, aperture and, as time permits, ISO. The presentation will include a discussion of why each of these settings is important and how they interrelate and affect your photography. This will be accomplished through a combination of videos, PowerPoint presentations, examples and live demonstrations. Hope to see you on September 18!
If you have examples of photos that are good representations of shutter speed or aperture, we would like to share them during the session. To participate, please send photos by Sept 14 to:
Shutter speed: Truman Hortzclaw; truman@otruman.com
Aperture: Jim Moon; jim.moon@mac.com
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.
