….Same Bat time, same Bat channel. We will be meeting in person at Newman United Methodist Church and following mask, and distancing guidelines.
Don’t forget a print if you are so inclined and it can now be any size, mounted or not. Prints will be judged in the Open category only.
Our Assigned category for February is “Decay” so get those moldy mushroom pictures in shape and come join us ;0).
LET’S TALK BLACK AND WHITE ! Bring a black and white print or two to our Wed. Education meeting. We’ll walk through them together as a group, critiquing, and hopefully learning some things about what works, what doesn’t, papers for printing and some resources too. See you there!
Hi Everyone,
Jan. Ed. Night isn’t until the 19th so you will hopefully have plenty of time to maybe shoot some new images in black and white. Below is a link to a super short “TIPS” list of things to consider while shooting. I’m definitely going to try some filters as I haven’t done that before with black and white specifically in mind.

If you missed Larry’s short tutorial on FB about how to convert to black and white in LR check it out – he walks you right through it 1,2,3 in the video. Thanks! Larry. https://www.facebook.com/larry.pollock/videos/1108012876700968
Our hope is that the evening will provide all of us with some new insights about what makes a compelling photograph, a good print and always something about light.
Feel free to bring multiple black and white prints and we’ll look at all of them as time allows.
Your Education Coordinators, Susan and Larry
