This is always a great evening of sharing and learning. What topics would you like to explore?  Topics are very wide ranging, such as photo book reviews, an aspect of your own photography that you’d like to share, reviews or discussion of gallery shows, photo gear, software, etc.  Or bring a gadget to share.  

For April we will do another set of breakouts – this time camera operations!  We will have a presentation on panoramic shooting and an introduction to competition judging.  We will also have discussion topics and photo sharing:

• Camera Breakout Sessions:   Bring in your camera, any accessories you want (e.g. flashes, triggers, intervalometers, … ), the manuals, and any other materials relating to their operation.  We will break out onto several tables to discuss camera operations, taking advantage of the experienced users in the club.  We will have a Nikon table, a Canon table, and others (e.g. Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Rolleiflex, Agfa, etc).  
• Panorama Shooting: Dennis Freeman will provide a presentation on shooting panoramas.  Presentation Here:  How-to-Create-Panoramic-Images.pdf
• Introduction to Judging:  Pete Morton (recent graduate of MPA Judging Program) will provide an introduction and overview of competition judging.
• Picture assignment:  Bring in your action and motion photos to share and discuss.  This is also our competition topic for the month, so grab some more for A Closer Focus when your going through your shots!  If you don’t have any action/motion shots, bring in some other photos you’d like to share and discuss.
• Book/Gear Reviews:  What book/gear/software have you experienced that you’d like to review?
