For this month, you can also bring prints to show (up to 10, any size) that you can stand up either with an easel/stand that you bring. Please come 15 minutes early to get them set up. Also bring a name card to put in front so people know who took the pictures – it can be as simple as a folded piece of cardboard with your name written on it.

Photograph items to emphasize the abstract without revealing the actual subject (e.g. colours of a bird’s wing, abstract shapes in rocks, designs in wood, flower petals).
• Concluding Remarks

See you at the meeting.

During the presentation Debbie talked about the wild horse support group HAWS (Help Alberta Wildies Society). For more information you can go to there website here, or their Facebook page here. Did you know that most of the wild horses have been named, and there are quite a few famous ones.

Here is the .pdf file of the excellent presentation delivered by Ron Evans on Introduction to Video Production.

For the June monthly meeting we are going to have tables set up around the room so people can bring prints to show (up to 10, any size). If you are bringing prints, please come 15 minutes early to get them set up. If possible bring prints that you can stand up either with an easel/stand (see example below) or in a frame.

Also bring a name card to put in front so people know who took the pictures – it can be as simple as a folded piece of cardboard with your name written on it. We want people to be able to walk by and enjoy the prints during the coffee break.
