The attached photo was taken in Yellowstone on the Club’s winter trip in 2017. That snow was so light I fell right through it several times. Wonderful experience to see Yellowstone in the winter.

Long time member and beloved fellow photographer Dale Barrack past away on September 19. Many of you may have known Dale. A real gentleman. We’ll miss him, and wish his family peace.
August is behind us and we are almost to the final quarter of 2024! Our goal is to make each meeting an event you don’t want to miss! An important part of our club is the Share and Learn activity. This gives members a chance to share an experience, a trip, or a club event that they enjoyed. This month the theme is “Texas Travel Guide”. If you have done any travel in Texas I bet you have a photograph or two that you could upload to share for our meeting.
The attached photo came from a club trip in April of 2016, We visited the area around Fort Stockton, The McDonald Observatory, and Big Bend. That was the first trip for me to photograph the night sky. Below are some of the group: Rob Murphy (husband of Emily Murphy), Dale Barrack, and Helen Dugand (wife of Chuck Dugand) enjoying the beautiful sunset at the Painted Window.
Photos will be added to the PowerPoint so they need to be uploaded by 2 PM Tuesday. As of today, Jim Schepens is the only member in the Share and Learn folder. Looking forward to seeing your Texas Guide Photos! Your photos could be the inspiration for a club road trip!
This presentation will be full of stories, anecdotes, and instruction by Russell Graves, our speaker, on how the photos were made and how you can replicate the process.
