The Pagosa Springs Photography Club is meeting on January 8th at the Community United Methodist Church, located at 434 Lewis St. The meeting starts at 6:30 pm, but you can come early to socialize and chat about photography at 6 pm. Everyone’s welcome to join us! Just enter the church through the side door next to the parking lot.
This month’s speaker is David Lenderman. David will give a multi-part presentation. He’ll start with a short slideshow set to music, showing some of his favorite photos. Then, he’ll talk about why depth is important in photography. He’ll show you how to make flat photos look more interesting and engaging with a sense of depth. David will share practical compositional techniques that anyone can use to add depth to their own photos, no matter what camera you use.
The last part of David’s presentation will be about suno.com , an AI music generator. With Suno and other AI music programs, you can easily make your own music. As image creators, we often need the perfect soundtrack for our slideshows or videos, and now you can make your own! David will explain how to use Suno.com and show you examples of the music you can create.
David Lenderman has been an avid photographer for over 25 years. He specializes in underwater, travel, and wildlife photography. He’s been to six of the seven continents, looking for amazing scenes and fascinating animals. In 2022, David and his wife moved to Pagosa Springs, so they can enjoy the natural beauty of Colorado and the warm, friendly community. David often speaks at photography and dive clubs, and he loves sharing his knowledge and inspiring other photographers.
The presentation will be followed by our monthly image share. Photography Club members may bring up to five images each to share and discuss. This meeting will also be available on Zoom for those who can’t attend in person. The Zoom link will be emailed to members; others who wish to attend may request the link by email to abutler@mac.com .
