The previously scheduled “Name That Tune” will now be held in October.

May Program– Panoramas – Photoshop & More by Garth Fraser

GarthI am a self taught photographer with a degree in mechanical engineering, and yet my first love was photography. I have been shooting since I was fourteen, starting with the hardest film of the time, Kodachrome II. I have since gravitated to digital cameras, finding the control found within the digital workflow to be intoxicating. I still, from time to time, when I am in a nostalgic mood, bring out the 4×5 and expose a few sheets of film. The smells of the darkroom are an old friend. My love of the craft goes beyond the capture of imagery. I have been an instructor of photography for over 10 years. Hundreds of students have been either inspired or bored to tears by my rambling lectures on composition, lighting and exposure. I read, I study, I view thousands of images and I will never grow weary of the art of photography. My program is going to focus on the use of photoshop to create panoramic images. Along the way we will visit layering, layer masks, work flow and my favorite; contract control. I will take the process of creating a panoramic image from the proper capture of the images, processing in RAW converter, through stitching the images together in Photoshop and final creative processing.

April 22nd Competition & Mini Class

The April competition topic is “Open” and our judge will be Patrick Oden. (7:00pm)

Patrick Oden is a freelance photographer who considers himself a bit of a generalist in his work. Mr. Oden received his first camera, a Pentax K1000, Christmas of his eight grade year, and has been shooting ever since. Mr. Oden began his professional work in photojournalism, working for a small paper in Utah where he won several awards from the Utah Press Association and the Society of Professional Journalist. Mr. Oden recently relocated to the Huntsville area from Athens, Ohio, where he did his MA in editorial photography at Ohio University’s School of Visual Communication. Mr. Oden’s work now covers about every area of photography, and is equally well known for his dramatic commercial lighting as he is for his visual storytelling.

April Mini Class with Cliff Whitmore (6:00 – 6:45 pm)

One of the ways to display your photographs is by printing them to canvas, stretching them over a frame, and then hanging them carefully on a wall. For large spaces, you can either print to a large canvas, or create an arranged collection of smaller canvases. One popular display technique is to create a photo split, where you take one photo and print different portions of it on multiple canvases. Three canvases displayed side-by-side to form one overall image is known as a triptych. During this presentation, I will show how I took some of my favorite landscape photos and created a canvas triptych.

April Program- “What’s In The (Overseas) Bag” by Andrea Shetley

Andrea

AndreaBased on her popular “What’s in the Bag?” program, Andrea Shetley presents a modified version drawn from her experience on her trip to Australia and New Zealand in 2011. Packing for an 8-week adventure half way around the world presents some interesting challenges with today’s travel restrictions. Gone are the days of lugging multiple over-sized bags in the plane cabin with you. Today’s travelers must carefully consider what they want immediate access to and how to fit it in a 45-inch (length + width + height) bag with a 15-pound weight restriction (a personal item such as a small purse or satchel also is allowed…and Andrea will show you how to take full advantage of it). The inability to lock your suitcase also is another factor to consider when deciding which items to pack in your carry on or checked luggage. You will be amazed at what you can actually carry if you put your mind to it! We also will look at what items to skipcarrying altogether and buy when you land. This humorous, entertaining, and educational program will help you prepare for your next trip overseas. Following the equipment demonstration, there will be a slide show of Andrea’s photos from Australia and New Zealand. Join her as she tours New Zealand in 12 days (see steaming mud, climb a glacier in the rainforest, go on a boat tour in the fjords, and get a look at some of the local wildlife), and goes to Sydney, Darwin, and Adelaide in Australia (including driving from the north coast to the south coast through the Outback). Andrea L. Shetley has been involved in photography for 40 years, and stereo photography for the last 18 years. She uses Pentax digital SLR bodies with an assortment of lens and accessories, a Canon compact digital camera, and a Fuji compact digital 3D camera. Andrea is past president of the Huntsville Photographic Society and current Chairman of the 3D Division of the Photographic Society of America(PSA), a member of several local and international photographic organizations,and is co-founder of the Fayetteville Photo Club in Tennessee.

Mini Classes begin again Mar 25th!

Veronica has volunteered to bring her mat cutter to the March 25th meeting. For anyone who would like to learn how to cut mats bring some mat board to the mini class (from 6:00-6:45 in the main meeting room) and she will show you how. Make sure you also bring the print that will be going in the mat once it is cut.
