We are meeting Wednesday, July 15 at 6:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall, below the main sanctuary.
Waldy will be discussing lens perspective, effects of subject to lens distance, effects of shutter speeds and aperture selection and much more.
He will also provide more tips on editing with Picasa, a free work-flow and editing software provide by Google. Please bring at least two photos to share with the group. If you bring them on a jump drive or CD Waldy can edit them in Picasa.
Please bring your cameras as we’ll practice some of these techniques. Remember that due to construction it’s best to park on the City Hall side of the church or across the street.

Lake Allatoona Field trip on Saturday, August 15
John Lindsay is graciously hosting our club field trip on his house boat at Lake Allatoona
Here’s his preview of what we’ll be doing:
“I suggest that I furnish hotdogs, buns and chips, some drinks and we grill out on the lake.
We can leave the church around 10am and head out for Holiday Marina, get on the boat and head out on the lake. We can find a nice cove and cook out.” - John
Please mark this on your August calendar as I know it’s going to be lots of fun, and bring your camera. Thank you John!

August 19 Meeting: Fun at the Beach Contest
Fun on the Beach: this can be a landscape or a photo of people or pets having fun on the beach. The shot must showcase the beach or being on the beach.
The entries can be color, black and white or something in-between if you want to get artsy. You can enter up to 3 photos and they should be 8x10 or larger, matted or not matted. Please do not put your names on the entries and do indicate the “top orientation” of the picture by drawing an arrow on the back.
John Lindsay is working on getting an “outside of the club” photographer to judge this contest. It was lots of fun last time. After the winners are chosen we will all get a chance to talk about our photos.
