Ashe Camera Club To Meet
AsheCamera Club will hold its first meeting of 2010 on March 29th at 6pm at the Ashe County Arts Council Bldg. in West Jefferson.
HIDE The Ashe Camera Club will hold its first meeting of 2010 on Monday, March 29th. The meeting will be held at the Ashe County Arts Council Building in West Jefferson and begin at 6 PM. Anyone interested in photography is welcome to attend.
The Ashe Camera Club is a group of mostly amateur photographic enthusiasts formed in the summer of 2009 with the hope of providing a fun environment where skills could be honed and experiences discussed with others who share the love of this hobby. The Club members vary from those just getting involved and feeling their way with "point and shoot" cameras to those experienced with the latest SLR cameras and lenses, whose skills are at the professional level. But all involved want to learn more about their equipment and how to get the most out of it. There are no dues, no officers, no by-laws and no formality whatsoever. All it takes is an interest in photography.
A discussion of the advantages of knowing the depth of field as it varies from lens to lens and camera to camera, at different zoom and aperture settings will be the main topic at the March meeting. A program will be available to calculate the appropriate settings for a specific camera and lens combination. This is essential information for mastering the art of good photography.
Members are encouraged to bring one or two photographs to share with the club along with ideas on goals and possible activities for the year ahead.
Visit the club’s web site at www.ashecameraclub.com for more information and to see some outstanding photographs from club members.
