Theme: Spring Forward!

Yes, there are blooming flowers and singing birds and emerging butterflies, and all certainly qualify for this theme. But if these subjects are becoming a bit commonplace for you, what else can springing forward mean? Rebirth? Renewal? A fresh start? What do these concepts look like to you?

Here’s your opportunity to get friendly feedback on your photos from your fellow club members. Do you just want to learn more about the basics of taking a good photo?

Whatever your level of experience or ability, you’ll find these casual and supportive meetings helpful—and just plain fun!

You’ll get the most from these meetings by posting your own photos. But of course you’re welcome to just show up and observe the photos posted by others.

If you’d like to show us your photos, upload up to two JPEGs (sized to about 2000 pixels on the longest side) to the current photo review entry on the PhotoContest Pro website (www.photocontestpro.com).

Presentation by Huibo Hou

Workshop

Tuesday, May 21, 2024 - 6:45pm to 8:00pm

Some of you may have seen Huibo Hou's beautiful and highly informative presentation during the Nic Stover black and white photography event last summer. Huibo is based in San Diego, California, and her specialty is landscape photography, especially in black and white. which she uses to "express how I observe, interpret, and connect with nature." You can visit her website at https://www.huibohou.com/ to see her highly creative approach to this form of art.

Huibo will present a talk via Zoom called "Personal Expressive Black and White Landscape Photography," which delves into the development of her personal vision, drawing from her own evolution in B&W landscape photography. She will also explore various compositional and tonal control techniques, including her innovative photo editing process.

These special talks are made possible by your camera club dues, so thank you for being a member!
