Good job everyone who participated in our June meeting and sent in Share and Learn. I was traveling and not able to zoom in but thanks to Chuck he recorded Ken and Jimmy’s presentation for us to watch. The link below will take you to the youtube video.
Chuck Dugand is doing the next two zoom workshops which are a continuation of his “Know your Camera”. On July 11th ( July 4th is a holiday so we opted for the next Saturday) Chuck will present “Creating Art – Rules of Composition”. Chuck will challenge you to think more critically about your photography using the elements of composition. What are they and how do they help engage your audience with your photo. Hint, one of these rules “Unique Angle or Perspective” is your assignment for the July meeting. So signup for a link for this workshop on our webpage. His last workshop will be August 1 “Re-envisioning your Image”
Chuck could use some help with these workshops as he still needs workshop leaders for September 5 and November 7. If you are brave enough to volunteer please contact Chuck at Admin@kwphotoclub.com and share your photography passion with the club.
The club started two Special Interest Groups this year. Post Processing SIG led by Chuck Dugand and James Himanga is using Zoom to continue these workshops. They just held a workshop on June 18th covering plug-ins and /or stand-alone editors. Look for the next PP-SIG monthly meeting announcement for July on our website.
The Portraiture SIG led by Jim Evrard and Kathy Muhle meetings are postponed due to the COVID-19 closure of the Kings Point Community Center. Jim is planning on sending out portraiture information via e-mail, News articles, and Facebook in the meantime.
Activities are slowly coming back. Texas is still not totally open so there is a tentative painted Church day trip planned for the 27th of June. If interested please contact Anne Mullins at Activities@kwphotoclub.com for more information and signup. Our last club activity was a day trip to the Cockrell Butterfly Center which everyone that went totally enjoyed. Anne said that the group included: Aurea Melendez, Margaret Molloy, Ellen Taylor Randi, Munsey, Anne Mullins and newcomer Aelyne de la Torre and Elaine Taylor. Bill Beard created a video of their photos which I will ask him to upload for you.
Finally, after our presentation and Share and Learn, next month’s meeting was announced for Tuesday, July 21. Jim Schepens has arranged for Joe Aker, owner of Aker Photography to present a program on “Architectural Photography”. Our Share and Learn assignment for July “Unique Angle or Perspective”!
