PHOTOGRAPHIC DISPLAY
AT DA VINCI'S GALLERY
Saturday,
July 24
An exhibition, Texas
Backroads, will be opening at DaVincis Gallery on July
24th. The exhibition is a collection of photographs by the Light
Catchers, of Houston, Texas. Light Catchers is a group of fourteen
serious amateur photographers incluiding eight members from WPC.
The group was formed with the purpose of pooling their photographic
talents to work on a single project. Development of individual style
and excellence are the key objectives of this group. Fine quality
photographs from the Texas coast to the desert salt flats will be
on display. On July 30th, the Light Catchers will be sponsoring
a special presentation; Identifying and Understanding Antique
Photographs. This program is a great way to learn about the
technology behind those old family photos, and how to care for them.
Admission is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring in old
photographs for examination and sharing with the group.
Where: DaVincis
Gallery and Espresso, 315 W. Main St., Tomball, Texas (281) 516-9595

other.

second Monday of every month from 6:30 to 9 P.M. at the Library
just west of The Woodlands Pavilion(The
Montgomery County South Branch Library
at 2101 Lake Robbins Dr.) in
the meeting room immediately to your
left as you enter the front doors.
Visitors and the curious are always most welcome!
MEMBERSHIP. Anyone interested in photography,
no matter what your age or level of experience (professional,
amateur, or wannabe), is most welcome to join our club.
Membership is a measly $20/person or $30/couple

SHOT |
PHOTOGRAPHING FIREWORKS
Tripod, cable release, film ISO 200 (f/11) or 400 (f/16),
double exposure or bulb aperture, no flash, are recommended.
Vertical format is better than horizontal. Your exposure
should be long enough (2, 4,or 8 seconds) to capture part
or all of the progression. Best of the show will be the
last set of skyrockets. Save film for this grand finale.
Have a nice shooting!
C. García
See
you MONDAY the 12th for our July Meeting!
