Program
“Laguna Seca Bird Photography Ranch”, “Backyard Bluejays”, “Basic Beginner Milky Way Photography” – presented by Linda Avitt.
This will be three short programs: Linda’s experience attending a bird photo workshop at Laguna Seca Ranch; how to capture bird action photos in a small back yard; and how you probably already own everything you need to take Milky Way photos and star trails.
Photo Share
You may send up to two images to share with the group. (You can send in any photos taken with any camera. It doesn’t have to be the monthly theme.) Tom Delaney has given us the following photo theme.
August Theme – the lazy summer doldrums are enveloping us. We need some action. The topic this month is: movement, motion. People must see movement in your photo, no movies allowed.
For the Photo Share, send one or two images to photos@jerrysargent.com by the end of Monday, August 15th, and put August Photo Share – Movement, Motion in the Subject line.
To prepare your images, we no longer have to resize our photos! Save them with the color space sRGB, and name them 1FirstName_LastName and 2FirstName_LastName. For example, 1Linda_Avitt.
