Two of our newer members, Rene and Patty Caro, took the plunge and organized their first workshop.  They opened their home, and huge greenhouse to us, and shared with us techniques for photographing Cactus and Blooms.

Rene & Patty gave tips on shooting macro photography, and had pointers on shooting plants for botanical accuracy, as well as creative techniques.

March 22nd

This was the first time we've invited the general public into our workshops and, considering the mix up in getting the notice in the AV press at the last minute, we had a huge attendance. The largest yet. The invitation proved successful and we managed to attract a few new members.

Approximately 37 people were present to listen to Arley Clark begin the workshop with some basic digital information on memory cards, batteries, digital camera operation and transferring images to the computer.

This month we started off our Advanced Digital Workshop with a refresher course on basic photography presented by Lyle Trusty, one of our more experienced photographers.

17 members joined in to get up to speed before the jumping  into digital photography workshop next month.
