In preparation for the upcoming WAPC meeting, we ask of each member to submit photographs for comments and tips. In the last month’s meeting, WAPC members had a chance to see first-hand how photos will be viewed and commented upon. The purpose is to allow each member to hear (anonymously) what is great about their work as well as tips to further improve their photography. Photos are to be submitted via email to Harry Purcell at hjpurcell@bellsouth.net. We hope to see everyone attend!

WACOM TABLET PRESENTATION
Time: Monday, March 8 @ 6:00pm to 9:00pm

The nature of Robert’s Wacom Tablet presentation will cause this presentation being the entire program, because Robert says he needs 3 hours for the presentation. At 8:00pm we will take a few minutes to discuss other club functions.

Eszra Photography: Brilliantly Illuminated Sunsets and Skyscapes

Eszra is also known to capture powerful cloud formations, and mix them with intricate ground planes. Eszra live in Navarre, Florida and has his art photography displayed in galleries in Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach and Destin.

Eszra’s photographic process includes taking multiple exposures of a landscape and then mixing them together with software to correct the camera’s limited exposure range. This is referred to as Dynamic Range Increase (DRI) or as he calls it, “Blended Exposure.”

Only by taking the best light from several exposures could Eszra truly accentuate the intense warm colors.

Eszra also manipulates the colors and light in his images to give them a “painted” feeling. For example, in some of his landscapes the sky seems to be textured by large brushstrokes of blue paint.

BREAK
8:00pm to 8:10pm

FEATURED CLUB MEMBER SPEAKER
8:10pm to 8:30pm

Robert will illustrate how easy it is to navigate on the Forum by showing how to post your comments, reply to comments, post your own photos and how to find information about WAPC, field trips, photo competition, seminars and other useful stuff to help you become the photographer you want to become. The Forum should serve as a useful tool for all club members.

Robert is the club’s webmaster for our website and conducts PhotoShop beginner and advanced seminars for our club members and the general public on soon to be announced certain Saturdays.

POP SHOW AND OTHER CLUB BUSINESS
8:30pm to 9:00pm

Judi and Harry Purcell would like to remind everyone t bring an 8×10 photo with their name on the back depicting the topic: “Looking down the road.” This can be interpreted anyway the photographer imagines. Put your name on the back. Rob’s Camera will print it for you for 99cents. Judi and Harry will give a first and second prize.

If you are not a Wide Angle Photo Club (WAPC) you are invited to attend any of our 2nd Mondays of each month club meetings and check us out. For more club info send us an e-mail to Info@WideAnglePhotoClub.org.
