PHOTO CLUB

Photo Club members learn about the magic of using the Lightroom program

Thu, Feb 2 2017, 3:30pm

Location
Washburn Library
 

The UMRA Photo Club welcomes photographers of all abilities. Most of us are struggling amateurs who like to take pictures and want to get better. We benefit from the kind help we get from each other.

The next meeting will be held at the Washburn Library, 5344 Lyndale Ave. South in Minneapolis, from 1 to 3 p.m. on February 10.

Dick Kain will continue his demonstrations on using Lightroom. Dick welcomes all questions, and in February he will work on pictures that Photo Club members bring. If you cannot make this meeting, good books and web-based videos talk about how to use Lightroom, but it is hard to interrogate these options the way you can Dick.

A number of Photo Club members gather before the meeting for lunch. Please contact Judith Garrard, [email protected], for information about the February meeting or to be added to the Photo Club mailing list.

The March meeting will be Friday, March 10.

— Craig Swan, Photo Club chair
