Photo Arts Club

At the April 11 meeting, Siegfried “Ziggy” Romano advised members that the 16x9 crop is best for projecting images on the TV screen. He also advised the photographers that, by keeping the background colors neutral, more attention is focused on the subject in the photo. The club also discussed color saturation and color theory.

Romano showed members how to use the search feature on their cell phones to look for particular photos in the photo library. He also encouraged everyone to download the online edit tool, Snapseed, to their phones.

Les Coombes shared photos of interest and described the location and process in creating the photos.

The Photo Arts Club will meet Thursday, May 9, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. The assignment is to take photos of pets.

People should send their favorite three photos to benbenjamins@ hotmail.com prior to May 6. Everyone is welcome.
