Photo Op 2

Thought I had included the time for the boat parade. It starts about 10:00 AM. If you are in the area you can tell when it starts because the lead boat is usually a large tug which gives quite a few steam whistles as the flotilla starts. I have been watching this event for about five or six years and it looks great on a camcorder also if you happen to have one - of course a lot of the newer digital cameras have the movie feature included. Three years ago this group voted to have Ganges be the… Continue

Photo Op

Just a reminder for a Great Photo Op this weekend. It is the annual "Work Boat Festival" with over 60 boats of that class. On Saturday many of them will be tied up to the local docks and have "Open House" from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM and they are very colorful, interesting and photographable. At the same time most of the boats in the harbor will be "at their best" and there is a festive air - last year a local crab boat was having a great time selling crab..On Sunday, as their finale - they form a… Continue

Posting Response

Thank you Adrian for the quick response - I didn't thnk to look at the forum because I didn't think tt was a Forum issue, but next time I'll look both places. It was gratifiying to see that the quiestioin gave others a chance to add their comments. I would think some kind of "scheule" set up mentioned by Ernie might be appropriate - especially as we will be having more activities.

Reminder

Wondering if it would be possible for a reminder to be posted (as a blog perhaps) to which week we should be submitting images to Adrian for the Coffee company. I was in there today and was disappointed (of course) because I had nothing showing. Maybe I'm the only one who missed out, but a little nudge would sure help - until I (we) get used to it.

Aerial Photos


"Earth From Above" is the result of the aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand's five-year airborne odyssey across six continents. It's a spectacular presentation of large scale photographs of astonishing natural landscapes. Every stunning aerial photograph tells a story about our changing planet. I did see some photos which I would have cropped. Count the number of places which you have visited.

Congratulations

Must give congratulations to all the club members on the wonderful photo show you put on. As one of the newest members and not a show participant - I only echo the wonderful accolades the club received in the Driftwood Newspaper yesterday. The initial write up before the show talked about how the members are united in a common love of photography and a willingness to share their knowledge, ideas and expression in the medium - which is probably the goal ststement of the…

Coffee shop discussions:

What happens in a digital camera when you adjust the ISO?
From the internet I have found this description:

If you are using a digital camera, changing the ISO changes the amount of signal amplification and this affects the amount of digital noise in your images. You therefore do not want to change ISO to
simulate dialing in an exposure compensation.

INFORMATION NEEDED FOR PR

I was thinking on the way home from the meeting last night about ways to attract new members to the group, or just to get people to read my info sheet, and decided that some interesting statistics could help. What I need to know is;

How many are in the club now?

How old is our oldest member....and on the other end of the spectrum, how old are you, James?

How many years have you each been involved with photography, and as a really rough estimate,…
