The Print SIG will meet quarterly (January, April, June, October) in the Orchard Creek Multi-purpose room immediately following the Round Table SIG.

Learning SIG
The Learning SIG is structured by topic and technique. Topic examples may include street photography, vacation photography and night photography; while technique examples include composition, ISO, shutter speed, selective focus, etc. To review the past meetings, click HERE
The next Learning SIG meeting will be in January with a discussion of “ISO — The third side of the triangle".
The Club's annual Holiday Breakfast is scheduled for December 12 at 8:30 am.
Many members were wanting more social time that was allowed last year--distributing the vast number of raffle prizes took up a good chunk of time. To accommodate, this year, the Board choose to forgo the prizes and devote all of the meeting to eating and socializing.
Bring your appetites; the brunch is awesome!

Basics of Great Photography Workshop
Load Up Your Camera -- We're Going to Focus on the Exposure Triangle
The next Learning SIG will be held in January and will build upon the September SIG by completing the "exposure triangle" with the addition od definition, demonstrations and live view examples of ISO. Bring your cameras! The second half of the SIG will be a hands-on workshop, testing how each of the elements of shutter speed, aperture and ISO affect the others. Please familiarize yourself with switching camera modes to aperture priority, shutter priority and manual mode. Also know how to change your ISO setting (consult owner's manual). Will not apply to all cameras.
Experienced members will be there to assist and answer questions.
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. The SCLH Photography Facebook page is restricted to the Club membership only.
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.
