BASICS

For the first few meetings we have been (or will be) going over basic techniques and functions of a camera; exposure, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. We have also been shooting a lot at each meeting, so remember to make a flickr account,  join our pool at NHS PhotC, and start submitting photos!

If you haven’t been coming and still intend to do so, please familiarize yourself with the aforementioned definitions by asking a friend or researching online (we used this site: Exposure Explained) so that when you come next meeting you won’t be left behind. Of course, if you still have any questions about anything, feel free to ask us or shoot us an email at: nhsphotc@gmail.com .

Don’t forget – if you haven’t paid club dues ($5) by now, you are liable to be kicked out! So bring those dues!

1st Meeting – MACRO!

Thanks for showing up guys! I hope everyone had a good time learning about macro and experimenting with the light box.

For those that didn’t show up, don’t worry; you can ask around next meeting to catch up.

Next week we are going to continue to work on macro – but we’ll be taking it outside into the courtyard (if the weather allows)! We’ll also be teaching exposure, so make sure you bring your cameras.

Reminder to all : IF YOU HAVE NOT YET PAID YOUR CLUB DUES (5$), DO SO ASAP PLEASE.

Thank you, and hope to see you next week!

Welcome to PhotC, 2010!

Hey new members – welcome to the NHS Photography Club, abbreviated PhotC and pronounced ‘FOT-see’.

We have a lot of things planned out for you guys this year, so hopefully you’ll have fun and take away as much as possible from our meetings! In addition to our weekly meetings, we’ll have opportunities to shoot with the Environmental Brigade, yearbook, and other off-campus/field trip events. These extracurricular activities aren’t required as a part of PhotC but are encouraged, as they will provide great hands-on experience and (hopefully) fond memories.

Meetings will be held after school every Tuesday (3:50PM – 4:55PM) in Ms. Rogers room (Rm.132). Attendance requirements as well as other classroom/misc. rules can be found at the top bar labeled “Rules”.

(If you’re too lazy… basically, make at least two meetings a month.)

Today we had our first meeting! Basically we covered our goals for this year and introduced the classroom rules. If you missed this first meeting, don’t worry – you’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch up. Next week we’re going over macro, so please bring your cameras and any small objects that you might want to photograph. The contest theme for the following two weeks is “potential”. Feel free to interpret this however you like – be creative!

Hope to see you all next week!
