BLIND PHOTOGRAPHY, An eye opener! =)
Posted by admin in Updates, Walk-a-bouts on August 22nd, 2010

The BLIND PHOTOGRAPHY challenge hosted by Steve Hewett and Chris Moore in downtown Sumter this past Saturday, Aug. 21, was a HIT!
Everyone who came enjoyed the event, the review of images afterward at the ‘club house’ was fun. So make sure to attend the September meeting as each photographers’ TOP FIVE images will be on display for you to check out.
We want your books!

Got a ‘page turner’ — share it!
Do you have a photography book that you own and have finished reading? Would you like access to a great collection of subject matter and special interest?
Then look no further than the new SDCC Club Library!
We have a permanent home for our collection and would like to broaden our current selection and need your help! We’d like for you to share (loan) the books that you currently own, thus sharing them with the other club members to enjoy and therefore giving you access to some new reads. Let’s all pitch in and share, it’s fun, you should try it!
Want to know more about our permanent home for this collection? Then email me back and let me fill you in on our latest club project that the library is apart of, we’ve already started the work on this long term project.
FYI: I did a quick inventory of some of my books alone, cost ranging from $19.95, $29.95, $34.95, $46.95 and even upwards of $80 (textbook I taught out of at CCTC) — all at your disposal just for being a member of the Sumter Digital Camera Club.
Another means of improving to better serve you!
Thanks,
Chris
Turn the ‘Light’ on!

Are you currently using Lightroom? Thought about buying it? Wanting to learn more about how it works?
If you answered YES, then you’re not alone.
Therefore I’d like to start the conversation toward holding a workshop on Lightroom. I just installed my full versions of Lightroom 3 along with Photoshop for my new Mac (my trial versions ran out earlier this week). So now I’d like to learn more about Lightroom and see some workflow, tools and functions of this program in action by those that are using it.

HDR and Mast Photo Editing Class

One more reminder that my HDR and Master Photo Editing Class will be taking place this weekend on January 23, 2010 at the Hampton Inn Harvest Room in Hendersonville, North Carolina. There are only a few seats remaining, as the response to this class has been extremely strong. In addition to learning the secrets of HDR photography for natural-looking results, you will receive a discount code (25 percent discount) for the purchase of PhotoMatix software, the HDR software used in this class. We will also look at other High Dynamic Range techniques such as Exposure Blending and using Luminosity Masks. The Luminosity Mask Actions are offered free to the attendees.
More information, as well as how to register, click here.
