The Digital Photography SIG is a Special Interest Group composed of people who have an interest and love of photography. It is open to all levels of photographers from beginners to professionals. The only requirement is to have a burning desire to improve their photography skills and a willingness to help other SIG members improve theirs. Visitors are always welcome.


Thursday July 2

Vu Banh presented a great program for our June meeting and I’ve had many comments on how much everyone enjoyed Vu’s presentation. 

The program for the July will be a hands on program.  Bill Franklin will show us how to build a “light box” or “light tent” as it is sometimes called.  If you have ever wondered how they photograph glass objects or jewelry in those adds you see in brochures, this will let you in on the secret.  Be sure to bring your camera, tripod and any small object you would like to photograph on a plain background.  Many of you have advanced to a point in your photography where you may want to experiment with a technique that all commercial photographers use. 

There have been many great comments on our photo gallery in the library.  If you have not seen this display, you need to get by the library before July 1, and see what a great job our photographers have done.  The display will be coming down on June 29th.
