Update: March Meeting

There's been a late change to our March program! Our new program is a field trip - "Night Photography: Hands-on" with Andy Heatwole.

Don't worry, though! Carol Serur will present her "Howto - A Smilebox Slideshow" later this year.

The opportunity to hold a night photography field trip was too good to pass up. With the change this weekend to Daylight Savings Time and the days getting longer, we needed to have this program in March. If the weather is bad that day, Andy will present a program on Night Photography at our regular location. Keep your fingers crossed.

Our next meeting is on Thursday, March 21st. Please mark your calendars!
7:00 - 9:00: Field Trip - "Night Photography: Hands-on" - Andy Heatwole
We will skip the regular portions of our meeting, including the critique session.
 
Meeting Location: San Marcos Courthouse lawn, on the side facing LBJ

You don't want to miss the March meeting! We are fortunate to have Andy Heatwole who will meet us in downtown San Marcos for a hands-on Night Photography workshop. Bring your camera and tripod, and be ready to learn tips from a pro on how to get great night shots. We will move around a few areas in San Marcos to get various kinds of evening images.
 
We will meet on the Courthouse lawn, on the side facing LBJ, at 7:00 pm, and will continue to 9:00 pm. You can park anywhere around the courthouse. Just look for the crowd of folks with cameras and tripods!

Andy is willing to stay another hour for those who would like to continue shooting, possibly moving to the river to get smooth water shots. Andy normally does a 4-hour workshop, charging $40 per person, so this is a great opportunity to learn settings and tips from Andy.
 
Andy Heatwole is a professional architectural photographer and works with clients throughout the US. He was inspired to take up photography over a decade ago when he discovered the possibilities of night photography on the Internet. What started as a hobby became a passionate pursuit and eventually a career. When he's not shooting commercially, he enjoys photographing the landscapes and natural beauty of the Central TX area. For samples of his work, please visit www.bluehourphoto.com.
 
His night photography workshops blend his love for night photography with his enjoyment of teaching it. These workshops serve as an introduction into an area of photography that offers virtually unlimited opportunities for creativity. By demystifying the process, participants gain an understanding of the photographic techniques required for capturing great photos at night. His goal is for each participant to come away some great photos and the skills to continue exploring night photography on their own. All skill levels are welcomed and participants receive personal instruction to meet their specific needs.
