Photo Arts Club
The next meeting of the Photo Arts Club will be on Thursday, Jan. 12, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9.
The assignment is to photograph an image with lots of texture. It could be something small or large, but a major part of the photograph must “razor sharp.” If the background is slightly (or definitely) out of focus, that is okay, because it will emphasize the object or subject. Backlighting or side lighting of the subject will increase texture, which is the desired objective. Send images to Ben Benjamins at benbenjamins@hotmail.com and the class will see everybody’s interpretation of this assignment at the January meeting. Multiple photos by the same artist are encouraged.
A Facebook page has been created for all LW residents interested in photography; on Facebook, look for “Photographic Arts Club of Leisure World.” This is a “private” page to avoid outside ads or comments posted on this page. To join, hit the “Join” button, and LW residents will be approved. Feel free to post your favorite photos. In the “comments” section, people can ask questions about cameras, iPhones, or photography in general. A quick response will be provided.
Everyone is welcome. For information, call Regine Schumacher at 562-430-7978.
