Rowlett, Texas Photography Club Meetup

Join me on the 4th Thursday of each month for our social. This month we are heading to Garland. Chris and I finally got a table this weekend. The waiter told us Wednesday and Thursday there is not a wait list.
Fortunate Son. Location
500 Main Street Garland, Tx.
Time 6:30
This is a fun social we get together eat, drink and chat.
Please RSVP so I will know how many tables I need to reserve. If the weather is nice, we will sit outside. On cold days we can move it too inside to a private room.
I will be there 10-15 minutes early.

On the fourth Saturday of every month, a gathering at the Dallas Arboretum, followed by an on-site lunch.

The Arboretum, always different, offering photographers everything from landscapes to micro, from scheduled events to ongoing changes with the seasons, to plants, art and Mother nature.

For beginners to old heads, for worker bees to retired folks, a chance to spend time with other RTPC members, maybe a learn a thing or two without long drives, and perhaps a monthly challenge.

The Arboretum is now charging for non-member parking. We'll coordinate parking and entry fees here on Meetup.

Gather at 0845 at Gate 1.

You know you've been waiting for this - here's the official announcement!

I'm starting a Fourth Friday Low Light event. You'll learn how to do amazing things like:

• Beat your camera's internal light meter into submission
• How to get vivid colors at night
• Stopping motion (for fast things, like water drops and bullets)
• Blurring motion (a/k/a dragging the shutter)
• Feel confident using all of those "little used buttons" that you've been dying to master

What you'll need to succeed:

• KNOW YOUR CAMERA AND MANUAL. Learn where all of the modes are selected and what the buttons do and where they are, even if you don't understand what they do. I'm a Nikon guy - don't ask me for Canon / Sony / Leica advice. :-)
• A stable tripod. We want stability here, not wishy-washy-wobbles.
• Neutral Density Filters for the lenses you will be using. It's like Bogart once said: “You'll need them. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”

I will send out details to the attendees as we get closer to the event date - this allows me to pick out a fun spot to play. And when it gets too hot to go out, we can possibly reserve a classroom somewhere and do indoor things, like the famous water droplets and the like. So for now, I've selected the Rowlett DART station, but that's not where we're going to be going!

Quarterly Luncheon meeting will be about eating good food and socializing with good friends.
I have secued a privte room at our favorite place Ernesto’s Mexican Restauant so we can enjoy our meal without all of the noise and congestion from the main area.
The room sits aroud 50 people so lots of room to eat and chat.
Please sign up ASAP to reserve your spot.
We will be meeting for lunch from 12-2 pm. Bring your camera and a friend if you like.
