Bring your questions and frustrations with and about the disease of Photography
and Pro Show Gold.  We will try to answer your questions and cure your
frustrations so life can return to its norm.

Homer will show some of the newer features used with Pro Show Gold and
a demonstration of same.  We will also display some Powerpoint slides provided
by Aven and others.  If you have an image or Pro Show Gold project to share,

please bring them to feed to our computer/projector.

An example of removing an individual from a group shot and still maintain the
group integrity will also be presented.

We will also discuss some of the newer tools available to today’s photographer
which makes the image recording task more complete and easier.

Come and share in the learning process.

See you there!!

June 28, 2010  (10am to Noon)
Are you burden with unanswered questions about Photography (film or digital) 
or Pro Show Gold?  
Then come to the Photography/ Pro Show Gold SIG (Special Interest Group) 
and we will do our best to give you understandable answers.  
Please note: There are no questions too basic.

After the Q & A, we will show a few suggestions about creating emergency ‘tripods’ or stabilizing devices,

Shooting an image with a telephoto setting (lens zoomed) does require a steadier hand
than the sameshot at a standard lens setting.  
Also, any slower shutter speed needs the same type of help.

Come and share in the learning process!

See you there!

Knowledge of film and digital photography and their many access are investigated. Subject, composition, image analysis, lighting, photo editing (application and techniques), camera equipment, peripheral equipment, etc. are some, but not all, of the items covered in the Photography SIG agenda.

Questions may be sent prior to the SIG meeting to Bob Graham. Any inquiry about the field of photography is welcome at the SIG.

Photography is familiar to everyone. The difference of taking an image as opposed to making an image is the understanding of the many techniques hidden in photography. Come to the Photograph SIG and see some of those techniques revealed.
