AUGUST Meeting & FIELD TRIP

THURSDAY, August 12th at Perfect Light Camera Supply 7pm.

We'll be hearing a bit from Krista about Macro Photography. She has a DVD to show that is interesting too. The DVD will be examples of photos with a narration of what the photographer did. Should be good!


SATURDAY AUGUST 14th 7:30 am - BYUI Gardens

Macro Photography field trip.

Meet At 7:30 am (MORNING!) at the BYU Idaho gardens. Directions below. The gardens are beautiful and have many varieties of flowers including waterlilies. BRING: a macro lens if you have one (it's ok if you don't), telephoto lens too and any other lenses you may want to practice with. You can also bring reflectors or an umbrella for shading and controlling light on the flowers. Some of these will be available if you need them.

Krista will give a few tips and offer help as needed. This will be great hands on practice using manual camera settings and natural light. Don't miss it! Below is a link to some galleries of the gardens.
