Hello Photo friends:
You are invited to attend the May 2021 meeting of the Granbury Camera Club. We’ll gather at 6:30 p.m. at The Shanley House. There are three activities on our very full agenda.
First, a possible new member, Paul Johnson, will talk to us briefly about a project in June involving volunteer photographers. He is helping with a golf tournament benefiting the Pecan Plantation Fire Dept. and he is looking for photographers to help with the effort. I’ll let him explain, but if you like golf and like to volunteer your time, you may be interested in this opportunity.
Also, you are invited to bring some of your photos from our last meeting’s walk-about to share with the group. Bring your .jpg files on a flash drive and be prepared to discuss them with us.
And next – our main presentation – member Jim Hill will teach us about the use of Negative Space and Minimalism in photography. He will show us some examples of his wonderful work discussing natural lighting and the use of low budget lighting to achieve these types of photos. Jim says, “This is photography that you can make at home or on the road.”
I am so excited we are back together! Please remember that masks are still suggested for meetings at The Shanley. I look forward to seeing everyone! ~Phyllis Webster
