Member Share
Please join us for our August meeting on Thursday, August 17th, at 7pm. It is all about YOU! In lieu of a guest speaker, this month we will share, share, share. Please come with great questions, or useful information to share with your fellow club members.
Things you may want to share:
- Your favorite book publishing company – since My Publisher has closed its operations, I am looking for a quality substitute for travel books. You may even want to bring a sample and tell us why you like it.
- What is your “go-to” photo editing software for laptops and desktops. Photoshop or Lightroom, On1, On1Raw, Topaz, MacPhun, etc.
- What is your favorite cell phone app or apps – what do you know that we don’t??
- Can you print your cell phone images? What about quality?
- If you have your work printed, who do you use?
- If you do your own printing, where do you get your paper, and why?
- Do you have a website that offers good tutorials on editing?
- How do you share your images? Do you have a website? Do you need a website?
- Do you have a project your are working on, and need backers to help fund your cause? Come and share your project with us!
Please come ready to share and ask questions. We have a wealth of informed photographers who are happy to share what they know, and eager to learn more from you!

Critiques: Black & White – Before & After
This month’s theme is Black and White. Since we have extra time for sharing our images, we will combine the theme with Before & Afters. If you prefer not to show your before, that is fine.
You may submit up to 2 pairs of images. Prepare your files as follows: Resize your image to 2,000 pixels on the long side, and a resolution of 72, and rename your files 1FirstName_LastName_Before, 1FirstName_LastName_Edit, 2FirstName_LastName_Before, etc.
Please email them to hcphotoclub@gmail.com by Tuesday, August 15th, so Jørgen will have time to prepare them for the meeting.
