Our next meeting will be Thursday, February 2nd and will feature another of our hands-on workshops. In this session we will tackle "Managing Electronic Images" which will include preparing images for the screen (slide shows, PowerPoint, contest submissions, websites and email). We are making every effort to ensure that you will be working with the same software that you use at home and most of the instruction will be one-on-one with our more experienced members stepping in to help. You will learn about pixels, resolution, re-sizing, aspect ratios, cropping to standard frame sizes, libraries, file types, file sizes, file associations, compression, uploading (FTP transfers) and image viewers. You will receive a pre-meeting homework assignment the week of January 23rd.

Our guest speaker for the October meeting is Al Sposato from the Bay Photography Club, who has mastered low light photography and creates some imaginative and artistic images with light at night. Starting with the basics of low light and night photography Al will explain how the camera collects the required amount of light. He will show how various light effects are created and will indicate what the camera settings were, so that each example can duplicated by members when they experiment on their own. Almost everything from moon lit landscapes to light sculpting/painting will be covered.
