Piedmont Photography Club

The regular PPC monthly program is all set!  There is no Show and Tell this month…instead we will have a Micro Workshop (see below)!  Anne and Franklyn are looking forward to this program. We hope to see everyone at the meeting,

Tuesday night, March 27th at SciWorks, 7:00.

MACRO WORKSHOP

At the March 27^th meeting of the Piedmont Photography Club, there will be a Macro Photography Workshop.  Anne Chase & Franklyn Millman will give a brief talk about what makes macro photography unique and then we will break into small groups to practice.

Please bring your tripods, macro lenses (or whatever lens you have), flashes, reflectors, clamps, and anything else you think might be of use.   We would like it if people would share their equipment, so that our members who do not have this equipment can get a feel for it and an idea of how to use it.

We will meet in our old room (where the Astronomy Club now meets), so that we can do a number of different set-ups on different tables.  Some of the items we plan to set-up are flowers, seashells, and small toys.

The February 28, 2012 Piedmont Photography Club contest topic was “Open”.
