Please join us November 6th, 2012 for Program Night with Speaker Susan Bloom<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

October 30th is a very special night dedicated to the mastering the fundamentals of photography. While it\u2019s known as Novice Night, it\u2019s also a night of getting reacquainted with the fundamentals of photography for those who already know their way around the camera.<\/p>\n

As it\u2019s the night before Halloween, we shall be digging into bone chilling topics such as depth of field control, shutter speed and light sensitivity. Yes it\u2019s the Bermuda Triangle of image exposure. We\u2019ll take a terrifying journey taking your camera off automatic mode and exploring aperture and shutter priority as well as the macabre manual mode.<\/p>\n

Then if you\u2019re not totally terrified, Scott will introduce you to the goolish topic of Focusing Modes, few have ever returned after learning about matrix and spot metering. However should you be one of the few who make the journey down the river Styx, you\u2019ll learn about proper ways of holding your camera! Gives you goose bumps just reading this doesn\u2019t it!<\/p>\n

It will be spooky fun and great fundamentals. This presentation is especially geared to new members and those considering joining a camera club. So come join the Prince of Darkrooms for Novice Night!<\/p>\n

\u201cPhotography is a natural extension of my love for travel”, says Scott. \u201cWhile I’ve taken pictures all my life, it wasn’t until I was older and could afford to travel that my passion for photography truly developed.

He has been capturing images while snorkeling for a number of years. “I would snorkel everyday if I could,” Scott says, and tries to makes several excursions a year to the tropics to enjoy this aspect of photography.
