Group Shoot - Sunday, April 26th

As mentioned in the prior post, we've scheduled a group shoot for this Sunday, April 26th. We are going to meet at 3pm in the parking lot of the public library. From there, we'll carpool to Sadieville. This way, you can kill two birds with one stone. You can shoot for our monthly topic, which is buildings and architecture and you can begin shooting for the Sadieville project Brenda has started for us. We are planning on shooting for a couple of hours. Email Brenda (brendaannfogle@yahoo.com) if you have any questions.

See you there!

We want to get this group out there and shooting, so we tentatively have a date for a group outing to shoot next month's theme, buildings and architecture. The date is Sunday, April 25th. We haven't worked out all of the details yet, but we plan to meet together someplace and expect it to be a late afternoon shoot. Details will be posted once finalized, so keep checking back here and the blog.

Also, there are some exciting projects in the works for the coming months. Stay tuned for more information on those!

If you have any ideas or suggestions about places and dates for group shoots, or for group projects, don't hesitate to post them here.

Also, if you're looking for a shooting buddy, posting here or in the Flickr discussion pool would be a great way to reach out and connect. So, if you have a date when you'd like to get out and shoot and want some company, go ahead and post!

Club Meeting Tonight at 6:30

Hey Gang -

Just a reminder that our March meeting is tonight at our usual location, the Scott County Public Library, at 6:30. Our theme for this month is Black and White, so bring up to 10 of your favorite black and white shots to share and discuss.

Also, since we didnt' get any feedback regarding what everyone wants out of the club going forward, either here or in the Flickr discussion, that will be our topic of conversation this evening. Please come prepared to discuss and share your feedback!

See you there!

Monthly Shooting Themes for 2009

Hey Gang -

We had an awesome meeting tonight! Eddie Boden joined us and gave a very informative workshop on Photoshop. We all enjoyed it and I think everyone felt they got a lot out of it!

At the end of the meeting, we decided on our monthly shooting topics based on the votes right here on the blog.

Here they are:

March = Black and White

April = Buildings and Architecture

May = Shooter's Choice - Anything you want!

June = Plants and Flowers

July = Kentucky

August = Something Old

September = People

October = Perspectives - Take a Different View with Your Camera

November = Urban Decay

What to Do? Where to Go?

Since it will be later this month before we meet again, I thought it would be a good idea to get the ball rolling on the discussion around what we'd like to do as a club this year and where we might like to go. So, please share your thoughts by leaving a comment here, or in the Flickr discussion pool.

Here are some questions/thoughts to guide our discussion:

- What do you want to get out of this club?
- Do you want guest speakers and, if so, who? On what topics?
- Do you want workshops and, if so, covering what subjects?
- Do you want group outings and, if so, where?
- Do you want group exhibits?
- Do you have suggestions to improve our club? Well, let us hear them!
- What do you like/think is working for our club right now and what do you dislike/think isn't working right now? What changes would you like to see?
