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.

The October Photography Club Meeting will feature long time member, John Farley as our speaker. John will give a talk and demonstration on how to bring photos to life in a video with music. He will begin with a video compilation set to music of his weather photos from 2014 through 2016. He will then demonstrate how to make a video of your photos set to music with the free Microsoft Photo Story 3 software. He will finish with a walk through the process of getting your pictures into Photo Story and setting them to music using photos he took last year on a trip to Argentina.

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.

Our September meeting will feature Randy McCormick. He has a master’s in environmental education, along with a lifelong gift of curiosity. Now semiretired, he works six months a year as an interpretive naturalist, boat captain and backcountry tour guide at Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Naples, Fla. The rest of the time he calls the “greater metropolitan Pagosa Springs area” his home range.
