Pagosa Springs Photography Club meeting set for June 12

Posted

The June meeting of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club will be held on Wednesday, June 12, at the Community United Methodist Church, 434 Lewis St. 

We will begin with social time at 6 p.m., and the meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. This month’s presentation will be by Joe Sinclair. Sinclair will discuss techniques and tips for photographing flat subjects, such as documents or paintings. 

Sinclair has been a member of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club for several years. In addition, he is a member of the Napa Valley Photographic Society in California. He has been photographing for 60 years and has received numerous awards for his photos. 

In his presentation, Sinclair will discuss techniques and considerations for two-dimensional photography (photography of flat objects) that while simple to do are important to understand. The talk will then relate two-dimensional photography to normal photography, an understanding that is very useful for improving one’s skills as a photographer.

The presentation will be followed by our member’s image share. Photo Club members may bring up to five images to show and discuss with the group. Please bring these on a thumb drive. They should be saved as jpeg files of at least 2,000 pixels on the long edge. 

This meeting will also be available on Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to members; others who wish to attend may request the link by email to abutler@mac.com.

The Pagosa Springs Photography Club welcomes everyone who enjoys making and viewing great photography. The club sponsors educational programs, image sharing and discussion, and outings to help our members improve their photography.
