March Meeting Agenda – April Share and Learn

Jim Schepens, our Vice-President, conducted the March meeting as I was in Utah. He had so much to do that the t-shirts did not get distributed and he asked me to remind all our members that if you ordered a t-shirt please contact him to pick it up. You can reach him at: vp@kwphotoclub.com

The second thing he mentioned is we need more people to help. I like to take photos at the meeting and of the speakers. I’d like to know if several of our members would like to take that over. Please contact me at: president@kwphotoclub.com if you are interested so we can talk.

The attached agenda is a good month in review and is a good summary reference for what we have done and what we are planning to do. From club events and workshops to outings. Anne Mullins and Bill Beard created a video of the Houston Zoo outing that has been posted on our Web site. This is something I’d like to see continued. For April we have so much going on that it will be a challenge for Bill to fit everything in. I’m asking participants of these outings to send me 10 of their best photos for these videos. Send them just like you do for share and learn adding your name to the file and putting the field event on the subject line. I’d also like to create a gallery with these photos for all our members to enjoy.

Bee on a Bluebonnet; ISO 200; 100mm; f/4.0; 1/250 sec In 2014 Blackland Gully, in front of my house, was filled with bluebonnets. Sadly, that is not the case today. The Reserve at Kings Point reseeded and the amount of flowers is very thin. One can only hope that as these throw out seeds next year will be better.

April share and learn “One Leg, Two Legs, Four Legs or more”. Basically anything animate or inanimate with a leg or legs. Good subject for macro photographers. Everyone who went to High Island got plenty of shots of bird legs so they have plenty to chose from for the April 16th meeting. Deadline for sending in your photos, Monday April 15th, 5PM.

Wishing you a very happy spring with lots of photography clicking this month. See you in April.

What is Share and Learn?

We conduct a “share and learn” session at each of our meetings where members bring in photos they’ve shot.  In order to provide some incentive for our members to get out and use their cameras, as well as encourage some learning we issue a monthly photo assignment to serve as the subject for the Share and Learn.  While it is not strictly required to follow the assignment, members are encouraged to do so.
