Our purpose
is to bring together people interested in exploring the wonder of
God’s creation through the lens of a camera. Members of all ages
encourage one another and share their efforts to record nature,
travels, people and memories. Anyone is welcome to join this club. We
are here to teach one another through enjoyable activities and
meetings, to make new friendships through a common interest, to
support The Woodlands United Methodist Church through our photography,
and to glorify God through it all. |

Groups |
Digital SLR
(Single Lens Reflex) Camera SIG [DSLR
SIG Homepage] SIG You Again in 2012
Due to their huge diversity, we do not address specific cameras in our
monthly Monday night meetings, so we get together as D-SLR owners
(Nikon, Canon, etc.) in the DSLR Special Interest Group to figure out
how to make our individual cameras work best.
This group meets at 2:00 p.m. on the fourth Sunday of every month in
the Room B210, on the second floor in the middle of the church.
Everyone is welcome!
Photoshop Elements SIG [Elements
SIG Homepage] SIG You Again in 2012
Taking photos with a digital camera is just the beginning. The next
step is getting them out of the camera and processing them in some way
for printing or posting on the internet. The "standard" for digital
processing programs is Adobe Photoshop, with Photoshop Elements the
easiest and least expensive tool to start with. This SIG includes
workshops on beginner and basic operations in Photoshop Elements as
well as sharing of projects and techniques learned by fellow
participants. Users of Photoshop CS and Lightroom are invited to
participate, but all activities are conducted using Photoshop
Elements.
This group meets the third Monday of each month in Room B210
(upstairs) at 7:00 p.m. If you have a laptop with Photoshop Elements
installed you are encouraged to bring it, along with any photos and
projects.
The "FINE ART of SEEING" SIG [Fine
Arts SIG Homepage] SIG You Again in 2012
Learn a new way of seeing through your camera’s lens. This SIG group
emphasizes the development of a strong artistic eye through the study
of design principles such as light, space, mood and color. We relate
these principles to the fine art of seeing and the photographs we
take. The aesthetics of photography will be our focus. By using a high
level of group involvement, each member will develop a better
understanding of the use of visualization, selective focus, creative
composition, and other elements of design.
This SIG group is recommended for
beginners but is open to any photographer who wants to develop an
artistic eye using the principles of good design. Meetings are
scheduled for the 2nd Sunday of each month, 2:00-4:00 (Room
B-210).
