Hello fellow photographers!!! Happy Spring (maybe) The month of April is full for us.
● We have one official field trip on Saturday, April 14th. The flowers should be beautiful. We are going to Chestnut Tops to photograph the Smoky Mountain beauties. Please meet us at 8:30 A.M. and will wander up the trail shooting pictures as we go. Please meet us at the parking Lot across from the trail. If you come after 8:30 just start up the trail and you will find us spread out on the trail doing what we love most.
● Secondly, I highly recommend that we all go together or separately to the Dragon Lights Festival at Chilhowee Park. This Festival is open every day until April 22 from 5:30 to 9:30 P.M. Steve Watts and I went last night and the lights are amazing. I plan to go back on Thursday, April 12 and I invite you to join me. It is a photographer's dream. It gets dark around 8:00 P.M. and after that is the best time to shoot pictures. Hope to see you there.
● And, finally, our monthly meeting will be held Thursday, April 19th. We meet as usual at the Blount County Library at 6:30 for social time and the meeting starts at 6:45 PM. Please bring a memory stick with 8 pictures on it of pictures that you would like to share with us.
● AND, please also bring your favorite 8x10 photograph so that you can show it to us and explain why it is your favorite. We did this a month or so ago and everyone enjoyed it. We will talk about our cameras and equipment and what we like and/or dislike about what we use.
● Don't forget we have a photo contest too. This month's photo category is "RAIN." All members are invited to bring an 8x10 photograph to compete in our monthly contest. The two levels are Advanced and Beginner.
● If you haven't already done this check out the Wilderness Wildlife Week being held in Pigeon Forge in early May. Go online and check out all the wonderful activities that are going on and plan to attend if you can. There are also photography contests that you might want to participate in.
The Blount County Photo Club was established in January, 2000. The club is all about the love of photography. It is for the beginner to the advanced photographer. The club has field trips, guest speakers and members of all levels of experience. We do displays and slide shows using our members photos - no matter what level a person is at.
