FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2017 45 We meet the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm in the RCN main lobby room; thus, our March meeting will be March 21. Visitors are always welcome. We invite all photographers, regardless of skill level, to join us for our regular meetings, workshops, speakers, field trips, and in-house demos. Our club decided that going forward, we were going to discuss and perhaps even do a workshop of a topic during the meeting and then use that instruction as the genre for the following month's meeting. So, at our February meeting, our chairperson, Irve Sturner, gave a presentation on the "Exposure Triangle," i.e. settings for shutter, aperture, and ISO. These are settings that determine how much light will reach the sensor of the camera thus determining the exposure of the photograph. These settings also affect the photograph in other ways. The genre assignment for the March meeting is "Sports in the Four Seasons" using the Exposure Triangle as a guide. Photographs could be of activities of ping pong, pickleball, paddle ball, tennis, billiards, dancing, or anything with movement. It will be challenging as this will encompass quick and slow actions with both low and bright lighting conditions. During our critique, the photographers will tell us the detailed camera settings that produced that shot and why they chose those settings.

The novel evokes a lush plantation in the heart of modern-day South Carolina where family ties and hidden truths run deep and dark. Frank's writing style is witty and her characters are often hilariously funny. Please join us as we discuss Plantation, whether you have read it or not. If you love to read, come and join us.
