7:10 – 7-25 Business: Proposed Bylaws, Special Election

7:25 – 9:00 Program – Photographing with Drones – Terry Brim

Photographing with Drones

About Terry:

“I’ve had a life-long love of cameras and photography. I started playing with my parent’s cameras as a youngster (always without film), took pictures with Kodak 110 pocket cameras as a teenager, and obtained my first real camera, a Canon A1, after graduating high school.

I shot film for many years (but always on the shoestring budget of a cash-strapped college student) until selling my camera gear shortly after buying our first (and still current) home. My wife and I bought a couple of early models of small digital cameras after we had kids, but it wasn’t until they got older and started getting involved in sports that I purchased my first digital SLR, a Canon 40D. After 8 years, three camera bodies, and many hundreds of thousands of frames captured, our kids graduated high school and ended their sports careers.

After our kids graduated I began exploring other photo subjects – from macro, landscapes, wildlife, architecture, and even astrophotography. I had begun to see amazing images on the web taken from camera drones and started researching them myself.

In March of 2017 I purchased my first drone – and was immediately hooked. Having a drone opened up whole new worlds of photography for me, sunrises and sunsets became favorite subjects, and cityscapes and landscapes were viewed from new vantage points. After obtaining my first drone my DSLR saw little use – I’d venture to guess that 90%+ of my photography is now captured with my drone. My eye is always on the sky or my immediate surroundings in search of new opportunities for capturing aerial images.”

Dues for 2019 are $12.

New members joining after the first of the year will pay a prorated amount. You may pay by check at the next meeting or mail to our treasurer, Winifred Simon, at 600 Red Hawk Road, Wimberley, TX 78676, or pay using PayPal.

Agenda:

7:00 – 7:20  Welcome and Member Share (if you have news to share and want to show an image with it, please submit by Tuesday before the meeting. Put SHARE in the subject heading, please.

7:25 – 8:25  Program: Astrophography – Rob Pettingill

8:30 – 9:00  Critiques: Abstracts

Astrophotography

About Rob – “I received my first telescope when I was eight. It was the best gift ever. I’ve been a lover of the night sky ever since.

Developing my own images was a relaxing way to learn skills I needed for my research. I implemented signal processing algorithms as custom integrated circuits for medical applications and digital speech at Stanford and Texas Instruments. Later I built computer aided design and knowledge management systems for MCC and Schlumberger. I now apply what I’ve learned in computation, electronics, and imaging as an astrophotographer. I also enjoy urban sidewalk astronomy and traveling with my wife for dark sky adventures.

My passions are to create digital images and techniques that capture the extraordinary range of light and space in the heavens as high definition, high dynamic range, images. We live in a golden age of astronomical discovery and sharing knowledge and the beauty of the night sky is my vocation.

The best of my images are optimized for HDR prints using dyes infused into specially coated aluminum sheets. This process produces large format, exquisitely detailed, images. With the contrast and transparency of images in the telescope eyepiece, they capture the excitement and emotional impact of the night sky.”

Light 101

Please join us for the next meeting on Thursday, October 18th at 7:00 pm.

Our own Vice-President, Eric Schoondergang, will present a program about Light and photography, called Light 101.

Agenda:

7:00 – 7:20  Welcome and Member Share (if you have news to share and want to show an image with it, please submit by Tuesday before the meeting. Put SHARE in the subject heading, please.

7:25 – 8:25  Program: Light 101 – Eric Schoondergang

8:30 – 9:00  Critiques: Autumn

Program: Light 101 with Eric Schoondergang

About Eric (Schoon-der-gang)

Starting out with a Brownie 120 TLR camera in the mid 70’s, Eric Schoondergang has enjoyed an on again, off again love affair with photography for most of his life.

In the mid 80’s, he attended a Photographic Technology program at North Harris County College, where he worked as a photo-lab technician. It was during this time that he discovered the work of Brett Weston and Jerry Uelsmann. Both still serve as his main sources of inspiration.

The acquisition of Photoshop to support product photography for a family owned business in the early 2000’s fused his interests in digital graphics and photography. In 2011, seeking a way to manipulate perspective and lighting for photo-montage, he discovered 3D software and photo-realistic rendering which is just beginning to be regularly included in his work.

Eric has worked as a digital graphics technician, photo-lab technician, architectural photographer, product photographer and a corporate contract photographer. While his business photography is digital, he still enjoys shooting film with a Mamiya 6×7 and a Sinar 4×5. He lives in New Braunfels with Lynn, his (very supportive) wife of 24 years and their 3 dogs: Joy, Izzy and Jed.
