Digital Photography

Our group continues to have new members joined, since last year we have 7 new members. We continue to meet on the second Friday morning at 10:00 AM at the Ygnacio Valley Library. I send out photo newsletters to our signed-up members with information about twice a month. We have different subject assignment every month.

December 2025

Hello, photographers,

We had 15 come out for the Holiday get together lunch Friday. It was nice to see you in person for chat.

I have secured our Library meeting time for the second Friday at 10:00 for the next 3 months. (You can book for only 3 months in advance.) And the next month’s topic will be “Night Photography“ (this one was skipped back in September for we did the outing in the Heather Farm Park. )

There are many subjects that we can pick as our monthly project subjects, but I think maybe we should discuss during the meeting for something else to avoid the repetitions. I will start by adding a technique session by presenting a short program then follow with discussion. Also, it will be nice to have an official ‘business’ meeting to discuss what our group direction and future of our goals for the group.

NEXT MEETING: Jan. 9, 2026, 10:00-12:00

PLACE: Ygnacio Valley Library on Oak Grove Road, Walnut Creek

PHOTOGRAPHY TOPIC: Night Photography. (Any things taking at night, flashlight photos, slow motion night photos.) Here is a short link that you could learn the techniques from it.
