February LIGHT CLUB 2012
Dear Light Clubbers,
The next LIGHT CLUB is on!
In this Light Club, I encourage all of you to bring your cameras.
I will talk about how the aperture, time and shutter work, how they are related to each other and what different kinds of effects you can achieve by knowing about them. That means we will actually take some pictures on spot, so you can see the difference.
I will also talk about the difference of file formats and the different camera programs you have in your camera why I would encourage you not to use them 
.
I gave out the first official Light Club assignment at the last meet up!
That means this Light Club will be full of beautiful photos taken and shown by courageous Light Clubbers.
So if you are interested how that will look like and want to know, if that would be something you could love, too, come by and join us stalking light, talking about photography and pictures and particpate with questions, opinions and laughs.
And of course you will get your next assignment!
I want to clarify the fee structure.
I talked to a friend of mine, who is a veteran as an organizer of a meet up group. I tried to figure out the fairest way I could make this workshop work for all. Still, I appreciate any suggestions you would like to make.
Here is what I think should be good for all:
- First Light Club you attend is free! It's the best way to figure out for yourself if you like it or not.
- If you like to continue, the monthly fee for Light Club is $75. No matter if we meet once or twice.
- For Students it's 33% off the monthly charge, which means students only pay $50 each month.
- The fee includes any further events like exhibitions, documentaries or photographer talks.
- It also includes support via e-mail or skype.
I hope I could clear the confusion a bit and I hope that works out for everyone.
It will be great and I'm looking forward to see you!
- Kai

I'm sorry about that. Since I am German and so more into football and not handegg (aka american football), I didn't know that :).
The decision to chose that Sunday was made by the Lightclubbers of the last meet up, since it seemed to work for all of them.

No worries. There's no need to change it. If the other members decided on that day, please don't change it for me. I'll make the next meeting. "Handegg" season will be over by then.

hi kai,
i love the sound of this group and am looking forward to joining. i'm familiar with aperture/shutter relationship, having always shot manual. would it be best for me to join the group at a later date? how advanced do you anticipate the gatherings getting? i'm primarily interested in general lighting (studio and natural) and lighting systems (zone), photojournalism, portraiture, photo processing and printing, but also would just like to have a group to learn and shoot with.Posted January 31 at 12:26 PM -

Hi Alexis,
of course this is totally up to you. In the last meetup the lightclubbers wanted to know a bit more of the technical aspect of the camera for a better understanding. I think it would be great to have you there aswell as an experienced photographer who can maybe answer some questions and contribute. I will always have a mixture of basic and advanced knowledge in Light Club. It's the best way to learn. I will always get into lighting, photojournalism, portraiture and proecessing.Posted January 31 at 1:04 PM -

Further more, it is important to me that you get the most out of Light Club. That means I want you to suggest topics you want to know more about. Everyone will always contribute to Light Club by showing their homework assignment. So the most important thing wil always play a major role in Light Club: the shooting.
So feel free to stop by and take a look. Your first Light Club is free. See if you feel comfortable and if you like it. In this meet up, the first homework assignments will be shown.Posted January 31 at 1:07 PM -

So this will be very interesting, no matter how experienced you are!
Looking forward to see you there.

@Kai, do you have a blog/website to show your portfolios? Want to put some professional photography sites in my blogroll:)

Kai Nedden
Hi Yuyu, I do have a website that I shamefully don't update as often as I should. It's www.kainedden.de.
And you can become a "fan" of my facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/wwwKAINEDDENde/...

So sorry stuck in Brooklyn... Will you be having another one of these? I have a new camera and would love to learn more about how I can maximize its uses. Thanks!

Hi Natalie, of course there will be more meet ups. Light Club will continue! You can always bring your camera and ask questions aside from the main subject.

Kai NeddenEvent HostOrganizerGood talks and first shown assignments! We discussed pictures and shared opinions. Yay! Hope to see you all again!
-
Alexis StemberA lovely group of photo enthusiasts. I was very happy to be there and enjoyed Kia's thoughts and teachings on photography.
-
YuyuIt's great that we can share thoughts about our assignment. I feel this " class" is more interactive than instructive. Oh, I would be remissed if I didnt say Kai offered lots of professional ideas:) Happy photograhy!

Qi TaoI like more discussion part at this meetup. Michael and Eli present two different street views, street-art work, and street- neighbour, lovely pictures with bright contrasty color, bright light. for the next home assignment, I would like to work with club members to work it out. we can compose a 'story', select a 'location', then shoot together couple hours. I have a suggestion, as payment for monthly, so may we have two gatherings a month, one meetup for seminar only , one meetup for presenting home assignments together. just me two cents
