The January meeting was a nice success with lots of interested people and ideas including some new members. Lets keep that momentum going. The Photo Show opening is this Saturday, January 9th from 5-8pm so come and enjoy the photos and meet the rest of the BAC.
Tom's presentation offered a peek into thinking "out-of-the-box", to push the envelope with creativity. This resulted in some beautiful photos and for more of his work see www.flickr.com/photos/manasquantom/. Flickr is a great site for reviewing photos to enjoy as well as learn from for composition, color, etc. As for other websites to view in an instructional way there are many on the Net. Some that I have seen include www.ephotozine.tv, picasa.google.com, photography.about.com, www.digicamhelp.com and www.diynetwork.com. Please comment or email if you have any others of interest.
The next meeting in February will be geared towards the artistic aspect (use of subject matter, composition, lighting, etc.) that is needed for producing a creative photo, one that grabs the viewers eye and draws out an emotion. A good example for me is the black and white photo (in the current show) of the girl kicking in the water pool that shows the happiness of play. The technology we can learn as we go (with those with the knowledge sharing camera tips) but the design and creative side of photography is the core. So if any of you would like to bring in some samples of your work to discuss in this regard please do. Any ideas or thoughts to advance this theme are welcome.
