Photo Arts Club

The Photo Arts Club will meet Thursday, July 13, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9.

The assignment is to photograph a headshot of a person in black and white with light shining on a prominent part of the face. The prominent part could be partial, such as one of the sides, or a full frontal view. The key is to make it a high contrast image.

People should use the editing features on their computer or cell phone to increase the contrast between the light side of the face and the dark side. The photo must be very sharp. Members can send a limit of three photos to benbenjamins@hotmail.com to be shown at the meeting.

A sample ballot had been sent to members to review to vote on assignments for the next 12 months. At the meeting, members will be given ballots and they can select the ones that interest them. People can also add other ideas they’d like to see included. Once the votes are tallied, a list of the year’s assignments will be sent out to members.

At the meeting, people can bring photos of their choice to be displayed and commented on. Hooks and labels will be available for members to use to hang framed photos in the hall of Clubhouse 3.

Individuals with technical or other questions will be paired with someone who can help them for individual discussion after the meeting. Everyone is welcome.
