Flagpole Photographers Camera Club invite you to their virtual October presentation, “Leveraging Your Camera’s Intelligence”, by club member Chane Cullens. Often, “basics” workshops focus on the camera buttons and not the goal of capturing better photos. Instead, this workshop focuses on capturing better photos in everyday situations. This presentation will be on Thursday, October 8th at 7:15pm. Visit FlagpolePhotographers.com under Events for information on how to join the meeting.

Competition theme for the month of October is ‘Black on Black’, the idea is to capture a mostly black-colored subject with a mostly black-colored background. The Monthly Challenge being ‘Happiness’. This virtual competition will be on Thursday, October 22nd at 7:15pm. Visit FlagpolePhotographers.com under Events for information on how to join the meeting.

Members compete in a different assignment each month, as well as in Open Color and Open Monochrome. And new for this season is a Monthly Challenge category, which is decided at the competition meetings for the next month. While the competition is only open to members, the public is invited to listen to critiques and learn about photography.
