40 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2019 Our mission to learn, share and have fun with photography starts each meeting with an intro to new members and upcoming events, a segment of tips and tricks, and presentation on format, style or gear use. We continue with sharing of the previous month's photo challenge works and the selection of the next month's photo challenge, an open discussion on outings, and topic selection for the upcoming months. Our first photo outing was on Sept. 30 at Crystal Cove State Park where we photographed sea life in the tide pools at low tide. It was a wonderful outing. We drove over, stopped at Image One Camera in Riverside to start our Santa wish list, then on to the beach to wade in the water and shoot, followed by a nice dinner and sunset on the beach. In attendance were Jacque Sneddon, Roxanna Morrow, and ReNae Stueve. Our September meeting was well attended. We discussed upcoming challenges, went through the demonstration Larry Colby provided on sensor cleaning and reviewed our Black and White challenge submissions. Examples are above. The October challenge was Chiaroscuro or to some, Low Key or Rembrandt Lighting. I have seen a few of the submissions and I can tell you the group is having fun with this one! We also discussed and agreed that our members would benefit greatly with an additional Technical Work Group. This work group would focus on the Post Processing tools available in the digital format we are all using. Remember the dark room days? Hours and hours of dodging and burning? Today it is often a mouse click away in LightRoom and many other software tools. So, we are going to hold demonstrations and software reviews in the work group. More on that in the coming months as we work out the details and schedule. I can't wait to see what is in store for the Four Seasons Photography Club! Please drop in to see what all the excitement is about. We meet on the third Tuesday of every month in the RCN Main Room at 6:30 pm. ~ ReNae Stueve, renaestueve@outlook.com PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Travel Group Thank you for making our group one of the largest here at Four Seasons.
