South Carolina Photography Guild

Our last scheduling meeting went quite well with the usual suspects, and a few new faces. We brainstormed a while and have not only our February location, but our March location picked out as well. In February we will be meeting up at the concrete pond on the west side of downtown in battery park near the Naval Observatory. We’ll proceed around Hampton Park area, seeing what we can see and focusing the theme of our shoot on basic compositional approaches to as many different subjects as we can find. Come join the fun as we embark on our second themed shoot. The date for February is also set at Saturday, the 17th. Time for arrival is 9am with the shoot commencing around 9:30ish.

The shoot will be followed up with a workshop at the Summerville library the next Saturday from 9:30-12:30. Post processing for enhancing composition and more in-depth discussions as well as the usual fun chats and coffee sipping that is becoming a tradition with every SCPG activity. For directions to the library, or additional details on any of the February activities, log into the forums to see all the banter and shots everyone is posting.

We also have a new Black and White section that is already seeing some great shots from our members, so that’s even more reason to stop in today and see what’s going on with the Guild. Here’s a sample shot to whet your appetite from Harvey Moore, a resident guru on b/w processing!

March will involve a little more of an adventure as we rally the troops and travel up to Brook Green Gardens at Huntington State Park (car pooling logistics will be announced later). This will also be on the 3rd Saturday of the month, so another 17th date makes both easy to remember. I suspect the meetup time there will also be in the 9am neighborhood, but it will require a little bit of an early start (not sunrise early, but still requires coffee sipping en route)! The theme for this shoot is still TBA, but will likely advance on the compositional subjects from February. As a reminder, we did visit Huntington beach last year and got some great shots in the area. Here’s a sampling from that trip:

As always, newcomers are welcome if you bring yourself and/or a camera and/or a friend! Come one come all and join the group as we continue our exciting activities for 2007.
