  Come out for our April 2nd General Meeting and learn about "Three creative ideas you can try!".

  NOTE THE NEW PLACE AND NEW TIME!

  Location: The Lutheran Village at Miller’s Grant, 9000 Fathers Legacy, Ellicott City.  Room: Learning Center

  Our first in-person general meeting of 2025 will be held at The Lutheran Village at Miller’s Grant in Ellicott City on April 2.

  From 6:30 to 7:00 pm we will have time to socialize, and several informal presentations will be made by members. Come early, relax, and get to know other members! The general meeting will start at 7:00 pm.

  Marcia White from Howard Co. Rebuilding Together will explain their request for photographers at the April 26 annual workday.

  Three CMPG members will then each present an interesting idea that you can try on your own.  Larry Mislyan will show the steps to create abstract swirls from your photos.  Dan Dodgen will show how to create surreal scenes using AI-generated backgrounds and wrapping photos around spheres and cubes.  Liz Guertin will show us her "Springtime Magic with Multiple Exposures"

  We look forward to seeing you at our new location and hearing about unusual and creative techniques from our own members.

  We will have someone available at the door to help you find the room. See the attached map below. Please only park in spaces marked "VISITOR".

  Please join us for the April User group fieldtrip on Intentional Camera Movement Photography

  NOTE 1: We will be meeting at Centennial Park rt 108 entrance.  We will meet by the boat launch.  If you cannot find us, please call me at 410-598-0491.

  NOTE 2: We are meeting at 6:00 instead of our normal 7:00 time to take advantage of more daylight.

  This is something different, using camera movement to turn normal photographs into something really unique.   

  Overview: Andrew Gray is one of the pioneers in this area, and he describes it as "A distinctive style of photography that goes beyond the ordinary! Inspired by the old English masters' paintings, It combines camera techniques and post-processing to create painterly impressionist images. These stunning visuals showcase both recognizable and abstract scenes, resulting in a style that transcends traditional photography"

  What you will learn:  You will learn what camera settings and techniques to use to create unique images!

  What to bring:  

  • Camera
  • Really, any lens can work, so I would bring a wider angle lens and perhaps a mid telephoto.

  

  
  

  We hope you will join us!

  -Mark & Janice
