Photo Arts Club
At the July 14 Photo Arts meeting, students took a photo of flowers in the outside rose garden with their cell phones, under the direction of the instructor Roger Bennett. After returning to the room, Bennett did a guided presentation, showing several techniques for enhancing and saving the photo, and discussed the homework photos. Following the presentation, members discussed photos they brought to share.
The next meeting of the Photo Arts Club will be on Thursday, Aug. 11, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. The assignment is to practice taking photos and editing them. People should bring their iPhone/Android and/or camera. At the meeting, the instructor will demonstrate how photographic techniques are fully transferable to all digital cameras. Be ready to take photos in the immediate vicinity of the classroom with hands-on, step-by-step instructions and get familiar with the camera/phone’s most typical capabilities.
The ultimate objective of the Photo Arts Club is to teach all students to make great photographs, whether using a camera or an iPhone/Android. The focus will be on composition.
