Eden Photographers Club Meeting - Tuesday, May17th @ 7pm EDT

Contributor: Vaccinium Vaccinium
It’s time for another meeting of the Eden Photographers Club! For May’s Eden Photographers meeting, which will be held on Tuesday, May 17 at 7:00 EDT, we will be discussing how to best utilize depth of field, one of the most important compositional components of photography. Although two articles on this subject have been posted already, I will run through a tutorial on how to best utilize depth of field.

We will also be talking about the prior month’s critiquing and introducing the following months theme for photos that are to be submitted for critiquing.

Also, two EdenFantasys gift cards will be awarded.

Finally, as usual, this is your chance to take ownership of the Eden Photographers Club. It is where you will be able to express you opinions on where you want to see the club headed, ideas for new activities, and topics you would like to see discussed. Of course, like all EF meetings, it will be a fun and free-wheeling opportunity to socialize with other EFers.

So, please join us for the meeting. If you’ve attended before or have yet to make it to a meeting, everyone is welcome!

It's ok. I haven't uploaded mine either. I'm actually going to have to cheat a bit and use one of the photos I took for the Eden Cooks meeting I hosted.

I feel like an ass because I still haven't had time to take any. But my husband and I are going away this weekend and I'm going to try and bring my camera in case it's any kind of nice outside so I can try for some outdoorsy pictures. I'm excited to see what this month's "assignment" is

Sigh. I'll still accept late assignments, but I'm afraid I'll need to dock you a letter grade for every day you are late.

Wow that brings back memories. Can I make it up by doing an extra assignment instead? lol We'll be by a lake and there's some trees in the back yard. Although it may rain all weekend

75 minutes! C'mon, summer is coming up, you'll have your camera around you more frequently, and you know you need a primer on how to best utilize depth of field. Right?

I guess I seriously need to wait for people to show up. This might be a really lonely meeting.

You just try to provoke her...

Answering myself...

Yes, Vaccinium. That's what it says above.

Well, Alys, it looks like you'll be having my undivided attention tonight. Feel free to stop me any time to ask questions...

Sigh.

OK, what the hell. I'll just start, then.

Welcome to the third meeting of the Eden Photographers Club! I hope everyone had a good month of thinking about photography and looking at the world through a photographer’s eyes. I want to thank all of you who are here tonight, and especially those of you who submitted and critiqued photos on the Eden Photographers tumblr site. With the weather turning warmer, I expect all of us will have more photography opportunities and hopefully more people will be submitting and critiquing photos. But *please* people, consider doing some critiquing as well as submitting photos to be critiqued. Please trust me when I say that doing critiquing can be just as helpful as being critiqued.

Before we get started, is there anything anybody wanted to bring up about photography or the club?

See, Sam! I told you people have had their fill of Vaccinium.

Unless things change, Alys, it looks like you'll have the inside track on two $25 gift cards since Sam is ineligible.

I'd like to bring up that I tried to use that macro lens thing, and it doesn't appear to be compatible with my camera. I can try and message you more about it tomorrow.

And pish posh on being tired of Vaccinium!!
