Calendar
On September 26, 2015, the Global Photo Walk is back!
This is your chance to get out, meet fellow photographers in your community who share your passion, learn from each other, make new friends, and of course – capture some inspiring images.
The theme of this year’s walk is “Explore With Friends.” Grab your friends and show us what makes your city special! Shine a light on your hometown’s hidden gems, your favorite photo spots, and everyday life in your community.
No need to be a pro to attend! Grab whatever camera you have (DSLR, mobile phone, point-and-shoot) and join in the fun!
So half of your life is spent in the dark of night, but have you really explored the possibilities of night sky photography? You travel half way around the world to iconic places in the northern and southern hemisphere, you click away until sunset and then call it quits for the day. Maybe you get up to catch the sunrise. Think again, maybe you should lose a little sleep and capture some of the most outstanding images of your life. Come explore Earth and sky when the Moon and stars come out and photography techniques you can use between sunset and sunrise.
The workshop will explore the art of night sky photography. You most likely own all the equipment you need, and the software to make multi-image star trails is fun and free. Specific applications and techniques for planning optimal images of Earth objects like mountains, buildings and trees combined with Sun, Moon and stars will be reviewed. A handout will also be provided that covers some of the handy techniques and a pre-shoot checklist to help get you the image you want and keep Murphy at bay. Please note this is not a “hands-on” workshop, but information on planning, tools, and techniques.
Join us for our Quarterly Image Competition.
The Quarterly Image Competition is a special event for Darkroomers. Guests can come and vote on images but only members can submit images. The competition is theme based and the theme is identified at the beginning of the quarter. The meetings are a social event with Hors d’oeuvres and drinks being served. Members and guests can walk around and take in the images and vote on the ones they like.
This Quarter’s theme is ‘Green’ and this will be a special 500px gallery night!
