PHOTO PRACTICES AND TIPS
Guideline Suggestion: When we approach bridges, suggest that apart from getting to “either side” at beginning, we stay clear of bridge itself for distance/setting shots etc first 15 minutes, and then allow various close ups etc afterward.
Photo Challenges from High contrast between sky, light surrounding and bridge below/interiors. Either compromise with spot metering in between, or take 2-3 shots on tripod and use photoshop layers or High Dynamic Range software to extend effective contrast range.
Opportunity to pick up some shots for club Scavenger Hunt.
Junior shooters / new to club: buddy up with a more experienced shooter/s. Maybe we can do a tally at Tim Hortons before start up. Tips and ideas can come from all corners.
Bring along clothing appropriate for the weather/temperature.
Bring along some snacking / water. We won’t have lunch to about 2.

OUTCOMES:
Selection of images from participants for 15 minute slide slow at a future monthly meeting. Email up to 15 images to Frank Loomer at floomer@nbnet.nb.ca within 3 weeks following outing.
