• NOTICE: The May Meeting will be a virtual meeting.

• For our next meeting, Vinny Colucci will be presenting on the topic of filters. There are many types of external filters for use in photography. We will cover some of Vinny’s favorites in his camera bag. We will look at the filter and the results it has in controlling the light in certain situations. Filters are a way to keep the dynamic range and the exposure within the camera sensor capability so later your post processing is a creative post not a fix it post. There will be a brief review of the histogram.
