Micron Photo Club Agenda April 4th 2024 

Agenda

1.       Review this month's Assignment "Daylight Savings" "Around the house"  
 Next Month’s Assignment is a double too and focused on rules of composition, "April Showers" and "Leading Lines"

2. For next month's assignment we thought it would be fun to have two topics. You can choose which ever best fits your taste, or if you are an overachiever, do them both. As usual though, only post 2 images.  

4.  This month's presentation "Lightroom and Photoshop what's new" Glen is going to share some of his Photoshop and lightroom skills with all of us. Glen has an extensive knowledge of Photoshop and Lightroom, has taught many of us some of what we know today. Glen loves answering questions too so if there is something specific you want demonstrated in Photoshop make sure you chime in.

3.       I wanted to mention that at last month's meeting, it was so nice to be able to see everyone's favorite shorts through the year. I think we all learned a lot and I know that I was inspired to try some new things in this year. 

4.  This month's presentation takes a deep dive into another perspective on wildlife by Jeff Black.  Past homework assignments and photo presentations are often birdy, but last fall he donned a snorkel mask underwater instead of his bins.  He will do a little recap of his travel to French Polynesia where he and his wife had the chance to dance with humpback whales.  Hopefully his talk can convey the charms of this watery change of perspective and a few lessons he learned in his brief time in the sunny South Pacific.

Glen and I have a few things to share, if there is time, Glen will share some tips and tricks in Photoshop.

I have seen some of his images and they are outstanding. Michael has presented for our club before. Expect to get some great tips and see some incredible photography!

3. We had our Holiday Christmas Lights Photowalk last week of 2023. It was a lot of fun. We walked from the Grove to the Capital and took pictures of a lot of things in-between. You can head on over to the PhotoWalk gallery on our club's site and check some of the images out.  

4. This is a good time of year to review the pictures you have taken in 2023. I like to do this every year. I choose some of my favorites and to a 2023 favorites gallery. I use this gallery when I need pictures for photo contests I am entering, or making calendars or cards, or just to show off to family. Our assignment for this month is to share your best shot of the year! 

Michael Lee's Boi

I started photography in the 1960s with a Brownie Hawkeye camera. I got into competitive Ballroom Dance in the later 1970s. I worked my way through school as the University’s fine arts photographer. I also managed a couple of camera stores. (Remember when local camera stores were a thing?)

 

I married a dancer who graduated with a degree in photography. We have kids that dance competitively and professionally. Our youngest daughter has a degree in media arts with an emphasis in videography. She is a working photographer/videographer and dances competitively at the National level. Our middle daughter works as a degree in dance and works as a dance instructor. We have grandkids that dance and compete. My wife and I have been teaching dance classes for the last 15 years. Needless to say I have had a little practice doing dance photography and videography.

 

My presentation will be focused on helping others improve their dance photography, whether it be of young children during a recital or advanced dancers performing and competing.
