Saturday Nights Light Painting Event was a great success.  Everyone was eager (once they lined their pockets with licorice) to capture unique images.  We were having so much fun we ran an hour and a half over schedule.

Bill had quite the variety of gadgets and D.I.Y “brushes” to paint with.  From basket domes landing on the Adobe lawn, to bat’s surrounding the Adobe itself.

There were wheels in the sky and ribbons on the rise.  We even had a couple of super hero’s or villains battle it out on the grounds.  

At one point I asked for volunteer’s to take part in a silhouette painting but nobody wanted to miss out on photographing the fun and colors.  (The only reason I didn’t mind is because Glyn was kind enough to trigger my camera for me.) Thank you to Jhoe and Adam for being the brave one’s and starting your new career’s in acting. ;-)

A special Thank You to Jim Rowerdink for making the Andres Pico Adobe available to us.  I only wish we had more hours in the night to take photo’s of the Adobe.  If you haven’t been to the Adobe it’s worth a separate trip.  Be sure and have Jim show you around inside.  The Adobe is rich in history and old photo’s. 
​
And of course a big warm Thank You to Bill and the entire Events Committee.  Rumor has it they’ll soon be focusing on the up coming Challenge and the next Fstops Event.

Stay Tuned

Hello fellow fStoppers,
​
We had a very animated meeting last Thursday, with Christopher Broughton as our judge.  The assignment of Night Street photography is right up his alley.  Congratulations to the winners.  First went to Glyn Sun, second to Dan Katz and third to Lloyd Delaney. ​To see the entries click here

Many thanks to Christopher Broughton​ for the terrific judging work on our “Night Street Photography" photos. Christopher’s extensive background in photography and his highly personable teaching made for a great experience for everyone present.  His opening slideshow of inspiring quotes was a great warm-up ... the rest of the session was a real joy-ride! ​

We are looking forward to next year and the new meeting format.  Robert Fields will be our first judge.  January’s meeting will feature Open Images.  So, use December to let your creativity run wild.  Let’s see what you’ve got!  Mr. Fields will both critique the entries and lecture on our next assignment.  He will be back to judge the results in February.  ​

Also, our November meeting is this Thursday.  Come and see what you and others have submitted.

You will be getting an Evite soon for our December party and fundraiser, where we will be auctioning items donated by our members.  If you have useful equipment that you want to donate, please bring it to the meeting this week.  You can also email me so we can arrange to get your equipment before the party.
