Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

📸 **Secondo incontro del PhotoClub Meetup – Parliamo di fotografia** Dopo il primo appuntamento, continuiamo a costruire il nostro spazio dedicato alla fotografia con un incontro più informale, fatto di **condivisione, confronto e ispirazione**. Questo secondo evento sarà un momento per fermarci e chiederci insieme: 👉 **Cos’è la fotografia per noi?** 👉 **A cosa serve, oggi?** 👉 **Quali fotografi ci hanno segnato?** 👉 **Quali mostre ci hanno colpito e quali vorremmo vedere?** Un pomeriggio pensato per conoscersi meglio, scambiare punti di vista e far nascere nuove idee, senza tecnicismi né pressioni. 🧩 **Come si svolgerà l’incontro** * Un **gioco fotografico** iniziale (un piccolo *ice breaker*) per rompere il ghiaccio * A seguire, **chiacchiere libere sulla fotografia** davanti ad un tè * Spazio aperto al dialogo, alle esperienze personali e alla curiosità Non serve essere professionisti: basta avere voglia di parlare di immagini e ascoltare altri sguardi. 📍 **Luogo:** Feltrinelli Piazza Piemonte, 2, 20145 Milano 📅 **Data:** 17 gennaio 2026 ⏰ **Orario:** ore 17:00 💬 Porta con te una storia, un fotografo del cuore, una mostra che ti ha colpito… o solo la voglia di partecipare.

Un pomeriggio leggero in una delle zone più frequentate di Milano, tra aperitivi classici e drink accattivanti. L'incontro avrà un argomento iniziale per rompere il ghiaccio e portare qualche spunto interessante. Quello di oggi sarà: "L’amicizia da adulti: come nasce e come si mantiene?". Sarà un'occasione per conoscersi, trovare qualcosa in comune ed espandere la propria rete, in una Milano piena di potenziale sociale, lavorativo e ludico.

This class is a practical, hands-on introduction to creating strong, dramatic portraits using a single light source. We’ll be working in a small studio environment with one model and one light, focusing on how light placement, distance, and modifier choice completely change mood and shape. This is not a lecture-only class—you’ll see the setup demonstrated and then rotate through shooting time yourself. What we’ll cover • How to shape dramatic light with a single source • Light placement for short light, broad light, and high-contrast looks • Controlling shadow depth and falloff in tight spaces • Using minimal gear to create intentional, cinematic portraits • Directing a model efficiently while lighting stays simple What to expect • Small group (10 photographers max) • One shared lighting setup, adjusted live so you can see cause and effect • Time to shoot the model and ask questions as we go • Emphasis on decision-making, not presets or gimmicks Who this is for • Beginner to early-intermediate photographers • Anyone who feels overwhelmed by multi-light setups • Photographers who want stronger, more intentional portraits What to bring • Any camera (DSLR or mirrorless) • A lens in the 35–85mm range is ideal • Fully charged batteries and memory card Lighting gear and model are provided. You just focus on shooting and learning.

## **Floral Fantasy: Experience Designing a Fine-Art Portrait for Your Portfolio** For one afternoon, step out of routine shooting and into a world built entirely for creation. This is a small, immersive fine-art portrait experience where flowers, light, and human expression come together in a fully realized set. Think less classroom, more of a creative process—a space where photographers gather, ideas are exchanged, and something beautiful is built collaboratively. You’ll photograph a professionally styled model in a custom floral environment designed in collaboration with a professional florist. The set, wardrobe, and makeup are intentionally crafted to support a painterly, fine-art aesthetic, giving you images that feel elevated, cohesive, and portfolio-ready. Throughout the shoot, I’ll guide you through the creative process in real time: * How fine-art portraits begin as ideas, not lighting diagrams * How to shape light for softness, texture, and depth * How to direct and pose a model to create emotion and flow * How to think creatively about building stylized scenes without large budgets This is a hands-on experience. You won’t just observe—you’ll shoot, adjust, experiment, and refine, while also connecting with other photographers who value creativity and craft. To keep the experience personal and focused, the day is divided into **small, timed shooting sessions**. The space is intentionally intimate and will accommodate **5 photographers per session** (with a maximum of 6), along with the model, florist and make-up artist. Sessions will run between **12:00 PM and approximately 5:00 PM**, with each group receiving **about 1.5 to 2 hours** of dedicated shooting and instruction. This structure ensures: * Ample shooting time without crowding * Direct access to the set, lighting, and model * Space for questions, experimentation, and refinement *Time slots will be selected or assigned closer to the event date to ensure a smooth flow throughout the day.* The entire experience will be professionally recorded. After the event, attendees will receive access to the edited recording, allowing you to revisit the creative direction, lighting decisions, and included editing guidance at your own pace. ### **Who This Is For** This experience is designed for photographers who are comfortable with the basics and ready to explore something more creative. This is a good fit if you: * Know how to operate your DSLR or mirrorless camera * Own a camera that can connect to studio lights and a tethered setup * Want to create more artistic or fine-art work for your portfolio * Are curious about lighting but don’t feel confident designing it alone * Enjoy collaborative environments and meeting like-minded creatives You do **not** need advanced lighting knowledge. The guidance is intentionally approachable and focused on learning through doing. **You are welcome to message me if you have any questions before signing up at 571-422-8066 or email at jberg@photoberg.io** ### **Who This Is Not For** This event may not be the right fit if you: * Are brand new to using a camera and manual controls * Are looking for a purely technical or lecture-based lighting class * Prefer rigid instruction over experimentation and creative flow This experience prioritizes creativity, collaboration, and exploration over technical perfection. **Early-bird pricing is available at $149.** *Your ticket directly supports the creation of this experience—helping fund the professional styling, set design, and dedicated time needed to deliver a meaningful, high-quality creative environment that elevates your skills.* You’ll leave with portfolio-worthy images, a clearer creative framework you can adapt to your own work, and new connections within the local photography community.

Northern Virginia Photographer’s Coffee Chat is a monthly Saturday morning meetup for photographers, videographers, and creators who want to meet more local talent, swap ideas, and leave with new connections (and better shoots). We’ll keep it simple: coffee, quick intros, what you’re working on, and time to network. No pitching, no awkward formal panel, just real people building creative momentum in NoVA. Hosted at The Studio by Nonagon Productions in Falls Church. Every month at 9:00am on Saturday.

Members of the public are invited to view the wonders of the universe through the telescopes of NOVAC volunteers at the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. You do not need to be a member of the club or own any astronomical equipment to attend. Telescopes will be provided by the Smithsonian and pre-approved members of the NOVAC. No other personal telescopes are permitted at the event. The event will take place on the bus parking lot of the museum. **Please park your vehicle at the south end of the main visitors lot and follow signs and red lights to the observing site. As a reminder, parking during the event is free.** Have a cosmic question? One of NOVAC's astronomers or museum staff will be happy to help you. As the sky gets dark, be prepared to enjoy the wonders of the night sky! Don't forget to dress warmly. Please check the weather forecast. For lighting, cover a flashlight in red cellophane (the darker the better). Bring along water to keep hydrated. Note: This outdoor event is weather-dependent and may be cancelled because of significant cloud cover or precipitation.

THIS CLASS IS OFFERED THROUGH CAPITAL PHOTOGRAPHY CENTER **PLEASE REGISTER WITH CAPITAL PHOTOGRAPHY CENTER, NOT MEETUP!** https://capitalphotographycenter.com/classes/class/2026-02-01-photographic-composition-essential-techniques The composition of a photograph is the single most important element a photographer uses to convey an artistic statement. What’s included, excluded and the arrangement of elements within the frame is all part of composition. This class will teach you techniques to improve the composition of your photos with hands-on shooting experience coupled with feedback. Join instructor Michael Koren as you learn about composition in the Postal Museum and Union Station. The class begins with a lesson and viewing examples of compositional techniques from master photographers to help you when composing your own photographs. We'll then go to specific locations to practice those composition techniques. Afterwards, participants will have free time to photograph all the museum has to offer. We’ll follow up with a gentle critique and feedback of your best work of the day. This class is about "seeing" stronger images. Any camera will do from DSLRs to mobile phones. If you *are*bringing a DSLR or mirrorless camera, lenses in the range of 18-135 would work well. No tripods allowed for this class. Questions can be directed to Marie Joabar at info@capitalphotographycenter.com.
