Session 1 of New Digital Photo Workshop Series was held on Feb 28 at the Senior Center, and was well attended with approx 30 members and guests.  Duane Whitaker led the program and was assisted by John Shedrick.

The first part of the workshop covered the basics, which included topics such as digital file management on the computer, viewing of thumbnails on the computer and transferring images from camera to computer.  Duane presented one method for organizing images into folders by date.

Twenty-one members showed up for this month’s workshop, which was conducted by Don Bennett.

Since we wanted to do a workshop in basic photography, Don decided that rather than trying to cover everything about cameras in just one evening, he would cover only the most important area, and cover it thoroughly.

Presented by Lyle & Duane

This was the second workshop session talking about the 20D camera.

The first session was back in August and we received so many requests for a continuation that we decided to have another.

Lots of discussion on digital photography this session.

Lyle Trusty and Duane Whitaker led the workshop.

Twenty people there, everyone had a good time and we all learned a lot about the features of the Canon 20D.

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.
