We will start a new program year of workshops. Monthly workshops will be held on the second Tuesday of the month at the Dunn Loring Fire Station. They start at 7:30 PM.  When there is a fifth Tuesday, there will be an additional workshop.  In particular, this September will provide two workshops events:  September 8, Novice Night, and September 29, Swap Meet.  Workshops are organized to promote hands-on opportunities to learn about photography skills, techniques, and equipment. The intent is for workshop to provide "how-to" lessons which can be used in follow-up field trips to provide in-the-field practice and instruction. This is followed by Competition judging to provide feedback on success. We will try to plan many of the workshops to support Competition and Fieldtrip themes (this year: Opposites--November, Flash--January, and Monuments and Memorials--April). 

September 8, Novice Night  Ed Funk will speak about the important features of camera and photographic techniques with an emphasis on aperture priority. After his presentation there will be time for newer members to discuss follow-up questions with more experienced members in several breakout stations.  Bring your camera to allow some hands-on learning.

September 29, Swap Meet/Show and Tell  This will provide an opportunity to share and exchange or purchase items from other club members on software and equipment that is gathering dust on someone's shelf but could be put to good use by someone else.  Also you can bring in your equipment just to show others what features make a difference to you.  This should be a great opportunity to see a diverse set of equipment.
