Dozens of outstanding photos have been the product of a number of summer activities of the Taft Camera Club.
At a recent meeting of the local club, members participated in a "Landscape/Seascape" Show-and-Tell, featuring several dozen images, that invited comment from viewers. They were also treated to a special Member Showcase which featured a patriotic theme for the July meeting including a number of outstanding July 4th fireworks images.
The July meeting also included an illustrated tutorial on "How To Shoot Night Lights." In taking pictures in low light, a tripod should be used while the photographer must also consider the three variables of proper exposure: Sensor, Shutter, and Aperture.
Club members have also captured a number of great architectural images this summer with visits to the Taft College Library - shooting both exterior and interior images - and capturing interior and stained glass images at a local church sanctuaru.
The next meeting of the Taft Camera Club will be held Tuesday, August 10th, at the Chevron Valley Community Room, 1092 W. Kern St, beginning at 6:30 pm. The public is invited to attend all club meetings.
