Join us for socializing at 6 p.m., followed by a brief business meeting at 6:30 p.m. Our speaker for the evening will be Bob Green. He will share photos of his trip down the Blue Danube River from Prague to Budapest. The presentation will not be a comprehensive record of the trip but will only hit the photographic highlights. The challenges of travel photography and production of the best quality images will be discussed. Questions about techniques and equipment will be answered along the way. All members will want to attend the meeting to discover “why we were left high and dry in Eastern Europe.”

Everyone is invited to bring 10-15 pictures on a flash drive of their winter activities. Long time photographers and those just starting out are welcome.

The new year is upon us and it’s time to get together for our first meeting of 2017. We will have a brief presentation on Topaz Impression post-processing software by Bob Green,  and a round table discussion on the club’s future. We will also allow time for showing personal photos for viewing and critiquing. So bring your jump drives with a dozen of your best winter and holiday photos. The meeting will take place on Wednesday evening, January 11th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Methodist Church on 434 Lewis Street.

The next meeting of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club will be Wednesday evening, November 9, at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis Street. The meeting will begin at 6:00 pm with light refreshments and a short business meeting, followed by a presentation by Herb Grover at 6:30 pm.

Recently (semi) retired as a professor of biology from Wayland Baptist University, Herb spent about 6 weeks in Kenya in 2010 teaching life science to Kenyan students pursuing university degrees through Wayland. Herb’s photo journal of his time in Kenya will focus on his experience with the Kenyan students, as well as several safaris to Nairobi National Park; Lake Nakuru National Park; Mt. Kenya National Park; LeWa Conservancy; and the Maasi Mara National Park. As is the tradition for the club, following the formal presentation members of the club are invited to share a sampling of their favorite photos with those present.
