Sharing and Learning Together
Hi Everyone,

We had 18 members in attendance.

We viewed 53 images: 48 challenge “Photographer’s Choice”, and 5 “What Would You Do?” images. Good job everyone.

Thank you to John for sharing his image of the Church.

Our next WWYD image is being shared by Alexandra.

The library will have a PC Interest Group Virtual Meeting on Wednesday January 11th, from 10:00am-11:00. The subject will be Photo Management – Part 2: Getting more control over your photos.

Another Virtual Tech Class entitled Time to Organize all those Photos will be held by the Hooksett Library on Tuesday January 17th, at 3:00pm-4:00pm. You will need to register for this class at:

Mike Moats’ virtual Macro talk is on Wednesday January 18th, at 7:00pm-8:00pm. If you plan on attending this talk, please sign up on the Team Reach calendar or email me. We need to know how many members will be participating.

I’m also sharing a video link showing how to photograph snowflakes that was sent to me from Mike Glasheen. This looks like a fun shoot. Thank you Mike.

There was a suggestion that, after a Wednesday meeting, since everyone will already be here, we might think about moving directly to a field trip to a nearby location such as Heads Pond or the Hooksett River Walk, weather allowing.

More demonstrations during or after a meeting was also suggested.

Our next meeting is Wednesday January 18th. There will be no challenge for this meeting. Instead we will use this meeting to talk about our current lower level gallery images. To this end, we handed out a sheet with critiquing guidelines. I suggested members use the link, (Current Lower- Level Gallery) provided below in the newsletter to review the images in the lower level gallery. Then, using the guidelines, discuss whether these images fit the criteria?

Happy Photographing,

Doris & Mike

How I Did It - The Set-up and Result
Submitted by Dan Beaudet
The external flash on my camera was outfitted with a flash diffuser by Cygnustech. A modeling light was enabled in the flash to provide a steady illumination for focusing. Subject background didn’t matter since my goal was to simply compose the shot in close for the flower detail. Then by subtlety moving the camera in and out to get the illuminated focus point right I took the shot. Multiple images were required to get the one handheld photo I liked. The series was captured at 1/15, f8, ISO800.
