October 14, 2025 Meeting

Fundamentals: Shooting Small Stuff
Fall is a great time to photograph the small subjects for March's nature challenge: moss, lichen, fungi, slime molds. Jerry and Michelle will go over tips and tricks for shooting them without breaking the bank on specialized equipment.

Jerry will be presenting excerpts from his presentation on "20 Years A Wizard" plus some chat on Macro vs Micro. We will also be having some time to remember John Zoerb.

Main program: Competition Results
Come see the results of this month's competition. Categories this month are Open, Nature, Creative, and Black and White prints. The images will be shown and judges comments given. Paid members are allowed to put an image up for a vote in acceptance if it didn't already receive an award.
