Images from the Club’s Oct 9 fall color outing, to the Navaho Peak-Buckles Lake area. It was another day with variable weather, everything from sunshine to sleet to snow, creating some fascinating skies. Great images, if you could wait out the snow squalls, that is.

A few photos from the September 29 Club outing, to the Plumtaw Road and Williams Creek area. Variable weather gave us some interesting skies!
We are planning three “fall color” Photo Club outings for members to take advanatage of the spectacular fall foliage. The first will be September 29. We’ll do a drive and shoot outing, with only very short walks. The destination will probably be Plumtaw road and/or the Upper Piedra/Williams Creek area, depending on what looks good. This outing will begin at 1 PM. There are typically some good back-lit aspens in the mid afternoon. If you are interested in this outing, let me know (abutler@mac.com) and I’ll confirm final details of destination and meeting place.
Our scheduled speaker for September, Randy McCormick, will be unable to give us his presentation this month, due to hurricane Irma. We all hope Randy and Deborah are spared the worst of the storm in Florida.
In his place, we will have a program on “Photographing Winter Wildlife” by National Geographic photographer Tim Laman. Laman will discuss preparation for winter photography, strategies for exposure and focusing on moving animals, and use of composition and lighting to give wildlife photos more impact. He will be using examples from winter shoots in northern Japan. This is a DVD-based video tutorial, and quite informative.
Join us at the Community United Methodist Church, 434 Lewis St., on Wednesday Sept 13 for this month’s Pagosa Springs Photography Club meeting. Come for socializing at 6 p.m., followed by a very brief business meeting at 6:30 p.m.
