Photo Arts Club

At the August meeting of the Photo Arts Club, Ben Benjamins delivered an excellent presentation on the evolution of modern cameras and the adjustment options available to photographers, with a particular focus on shutter speed.

The next meeting of the Photo Arts Club will be Sept. 9 at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 5. Benjamins will continue his review of camera basics, this time with a focus on aperture.

Members are asked to bring to the meeting an original photo showing action by adjusting the shutter speed. Examples include a swinging pendulum on a grandfather clock, a flying bird or a moving car. The photo should be cropped to emphasize the subject.

Winners will be chosen by popular vote.

For information about the club, call Regine Schumacher at (562) 430-7978.
