The Pagosa Springs Photography Club will meet on May 13 in the fellowship hall of the Community United Methodist Church, located at 434 Lewis St.
Feel free to arrive anytime after 6 p.m. to socialize; the program begins at 6:30 p.m. Club meetings are open to the public.
This month’s presentation will be by Chris Roebuck on “Photographing Motion: Creating Impressionistic or Abstract Images.”
Roebuck will discuss seven different approaches to photographing motion, as diverse as using fast shutter speeds to freeze motion to long exposures coupled with intentional camera motion to create abstract and impressionistic images.
Try out some of these techniques to add variety and interest to your photos. This promises to be a presentation unlike any other you have seen.
Roebuck is a member of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club and is a student of digital photography. He has traveled widely through the western U.S. and around the world photographing nature’s wonders.
Following the presentation, we will have our monthly image-share session. Club members may bring up to five recent images to share and discuss with the group.
This meeting will also be available on Zoom. Club members will receive the Zoom link via email, and if you’re not on the list, you can request it by emailing abutler@mac.com.
May Virtual Shutter Challenge
Each month, the Photography Club holds a Virtual Shutter Challenge.
Share and discuss photos on the current topic on the club’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/PagosaPhotoClub. You do not have to be a club member to participate.
The challenge for May is “Environmental Portraits.”
An environmental portrait tells a story before the subject speaks. It shows a person in a place that matters to them. Balance subject and setting so neither overpowers. Seek honest light, quiet gestures and details that hint to us who they are.
To participate, share up to three images on the theme by commenting on the post on this topic on our Facebook page.
