We’re bringing back the Post Holiday Party!

We’ll start early at 7 PM on Wednesday, January 18, at our regular meeting place. We’ll have a Post-Holiday party for our members and their guests.Join us for the Post-Holiday Party.

  • We’ll order pizza and supply some beverages. The cost will be $10 per person.

  • Feel free to bring a favorite appetizer or dessert.
  • Spouses and friends are welcome to attend ($10/each)
  • We plan to have a raffle (including cash prizes) and silent auction as a club fundraiser.
    • Please consider donating items for the fundraiser. These could be photography books, photo bags, other gadgets or anything else that makes a nice raffle prize or auction item.
The program for this meeting will be funny photos or silly mistakes (bloopers) taken by you.
  • We all have images that didn’t quite make the cut. Some have funny expressions, and others just plain missed the mark, or worse. Bring your mistakes and out-takes on a thumbdrive and we’ll entertain our members with our Non-Award Winners while we enjoy our pizza and snacks.

“Gadget” Night

Christian Church of Arlington Heights, 333 W Thomas St, Arlington Heights, IL 60004, USA

Gadget Demonstration
Please share your creative secrets! Have you used a special gadget to enhance your techniques and achieve an unusual effect in your images? Or do you have a go-to item that makes your life easier in the field to take that perfect picture?

Please bring it to the club and share with others how you have used it with some examples of pictures you have taken. This could be a glass prism set, uncommon filter, or a special tool for lighting that has significantly contributed to your development as a photographer. Let’s learn from each other, enhance our photos, and improve our techniques.

We ask each member to bring up to three items and be ready to demonstrate their use.

See you all on Wednesday.  New members always welcome.
