South Carolina Photography Guild

At the meeting earlier today, we discussed our next photo shoot, and the 3rd Saturday in August, (the 19th) is our next outing.  Time and place is still to be determined, but mark your calendars now and feel free to join us.  We usually depart in the earlier part of the morning in order to catch the “golden” or good lighting of the day, so take comfort that we won’t be out sweating during the hottest time of day.  If anyone has ideas for locales, please feel free to suggest as we are always open to new ideas.  Places we have been to in the past include Cypress Gardens, Magnolia Gardens, Mepkin Abbey (over in Monck’s Corner), Middleton Plantations, Boone Hall, Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, and I am sure many others that I am forgetting.  We also have done a fair number of “walkabouts” in downtown Charleston near and through the Market Street area.  It’s always a great deal of fun, and there’s something for every skill level - heck we’ve even had budding photogs show up who don’t even own a camera, just to share in the camraderie, so come out and join the fun!

A decision should be made on location in the not too distant future, so check back to get the latest!  As always, happy surfing and Happy Shooting!

The Photo club had a great get-together this morning at the Summerville library. The more advanced photogs showed us some of the features available in Photoshop including the use of Lab color as opposed to RGB to get really amazing colors, fixing sheen on portraits, and lots of other cool stuff. Plus, it was good to see the crew as we’d not gotten together collectively in a while. The only downside is that more people did not bring shots to share for editing so the fwe of us that did had some pretty wild effects done on them. Perhaps that’s why the others didnt bring any….they knew what would happen! LOL
