Camera Club reminder

Camden Photo Club Greetings! Hey All, Hope you are doing well. I will not be able to make the meeting this month due to work commitments and Karin has graciously offered to take it over. Do not bother to send images this month. To date there has only been one sent in. The projector will not be available this week. There will be handouts available (only for dues paid current members) on the topics that were in the questionnaire and more. Please bring your completed questionnaire and ideas for walkabouts etc. Also, if there are any nominations for a new president or ideas about sharing the responsibilities of the operation of the club, please discuss them. I'll miss being there but it promises to be a good meeting. See you all the 3rd Mon in March. Mike Meeting will be held at the Fine Arts Center, Mon Feb 20 in the Bassett Bldg. at 7pm.

January 16, 2012 Meeting Minutes

We had 10 members present. We welcome our newest member, Gordon Brandon and hope that Virginia Wilson will also become a member. Six members paid their dues. Remember, we decided to pay all of our dues in January instead of the month that we each paid last year.

         PLEASE MAKE CHECKS PAYABLE TO "CAMDEN PHOTO CLUB"

Discussion. Mike opened the meeting with a discussion about the future direction of the club and what we would like to have in terms of classes. Some ideas put forth were classes in the basic mechanics/camera settings of digital photography - basically, a beginner's class; off camera flash techniques; black and white photography; and theory of light. We also discussed walk-abouts and day trips. For those of you that consider yourselves intermediate, we have not forgotten you and plans are being made to accommodate.



Presentation: Mike's long-time friend, John Aegerter, presented a slide show of some of the photographs he has taken during his travels around the world on hiking adventures. It was interesting to note that even though he had some exceptional photographs, he is not a "photographer" and his photographs were all taken with a basic "point and shoot" camera.





February Meeting. We will not longer meet in Mike's training facility. The February meeting will be held on Mon. February 20th, at 7:00pm. The location will be the Fine Arts Center in the gallery in the Bassett Bldg. The bldg. is located on Lyttleton St.

Bring a friend !


Member's Photos. The subject is WINTER WILDLIFE. Remember, when submitting your photos to Mike, they should be titled Winter Wildlife LastName February or Random LastName February. Only three members submitted photographs for January. We hope to have many more for February. Note for new members: we can submit two photographs each month - one is the predetermined subject and the other is a random photo of any subject. Submit them to Mike at saddleguy@gmail.com, in JPEG format.



Thanks for your participation in the club. We look forward to a very productive 2012!



Mike Scott

President

PS I want to take a minute to thank Billie for all her work as club secretary, Teri for sending many good links that I will share before the next meeting and Troy who has put a questionnaire together to let us know where everyone is with their cameras. This will all be sent a couple weeks before the next meeting.

January Meeting

Don't forget our meeting on Mon Jan. 16th Greetings! Looking forward to seeing you all on Mon. Jan 16th at 7 pm. The meeting will be at Mike's school. For this meeting we will have a slideshow and brief talk from mike's friend John Aegerter. While John is not a 'photographer' he travels the world as an avid hiker and will share and chat about some of the images he has taken. Please make sure to send your assignments and random images in advance. I will be busy the Sun night and the day of the meeting so I will need them by this Saturday. Thanks all, Mike 803-422-5894 saddleguy@gmail.com
