"Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography." - **George Eastman**. Photography is painting with the light, say great photography masters. In this outing the focus would be on seeing the light in it’s different shades, colours and directions as we practice learning how to capture light as a subject, and how it impacts and transforms the images. You are encouraged to do some research on this theme and interpret this subject as per your liking and intent. Meanwhile, besides some photos in this event’s album on the theme, here are some interesting and useful youtube videos to get you started: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdVwZb5Iofw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdVwZb5Iofw) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUg0Y5uX558](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUg0Y5uX558) **Meeting Place and Time:** **In front of Clock Tower at TST Star Ferry, 3pm** We will meet in front of the Clock Tower at TST Star Ferry, 3pm, move around in small groups for taking pictures, then regroup for a drink, socialising and photo sharing 4.30pm onwards at **Delaney’s** **(Basement, Mary Building, 71- 77 Peking Road, TST**, this Irish pub is located just opposite the landmark building Chungking Mansions). **IMPORTANT:** Please sign up only if you are coming, those not showing up 2x in a row would be taken off the group list while active members would be given a preference over long inactive members, the last minute habitual dropouts and no-shows. Post **YOUR BEST FIVE IMAGES** only after the outing on the meetup site on this event's page. **FINALLY:** For every image you post, please comment on at least one other image, no matter if you think you are qualified to comment or not. You can always give some constructive comments with regard to Colour, Tone, Light, Action, Pattern, Balance, Composition, Visual and Emotional appeal of the image/s.

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS and Columbus HashiCorp User Group meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/cbus-hug-2026/
