Photo Arts Club

At the Aug. 11 Photo Arts meeting, instructor Ben Benjamins presented and explained photo composition. Club members then stepped outside to take photos to share and discuss.

One of the photos displayed was an astonishing quilt made by Barbara Houck who incorporated her three greatest hobbies—travel, photography and quilting. Members’ discussions on technical and other questions concluded the meeting.

The next meeting is on Thursday, Sept. 8, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. People can bring their own iPhones/Androids and/or cameras. The assignment is to take two photos of objects and their shadows showing the light source creating the shadows and email them to benbenjamins@hotmail.com. The submissions and other photos will be shown and discussed at the meeting.

Those with technical or other questions will be paired with someone for help after the meeting.
