Open space shoot on May 15, 2011

As announced at the last general meeting of Flatirons Photo Club, Margie Robinson will be leading a shoot in Boulder’s open space. She has decided on Sunday, May 15. We will meet at Chautauqua at 8:30 AM, because by 9:00 the parking is already out on the street. Prior to then, she will wander around and see where the best flowers are. She is planning on the group shoot ending at 11:00, though people will of course be free to stay on their own.

Many thanks to Margie for agreeing to do this. I hope to see lots of you there, the flowers in the open space are wonderful at that time of year.

Thomas Walsh, Flatirons Photo Club President

May 12, 2011 Program, “Images From The Soul”, Jeff Johnson

Jeff Johnson presents “Images From The Soul”.  Many times photographers look at photographs in a fine art gallery and walk away thinking they will never be able to create images like that. So not true! “Images From The Soul” was designed to show you how I create my unique signature fine art pieces. This short program will include a before and after presentation of my imagery that will quickly show you how you too can create works of art. I will then talk about a select few images and how they were created. Bring your questions and an open-mind. Please enjoy my imagery at www.soulimagesgallery.com.

Having been a professional photographer for over 33 years Jeff has earned the PPA Degrees of Master of Photography, Photographic Craftsman and Certified Professional Photographer. Jeff has also been honored with three Fellowship Degrees from the Professional Photographers of Colorado. He was named Master Photographer of the Year in 2006, 2010 & 2011.

April 14, 2011 Program – Painting with Light, Scott Carlin

Scott Carlin will present a program on night photography and painting with light, with an emphasis on experimentation and the evolution of the creative path, as well as some tips, tools, and techniques for light painting and shooting in remote locations at night.

Scott has been a life-long artist, and channels his knowledge of different creative disciplines into his black and white photography, to create images that convey a vast range of feeling, from the whimsical, to the beautifully mysterious, to the downright eerie.

Scott has a solo show opening April 1st at Anthology Fine Art Gallery in the Santa Fe Arts District in Denver. His work is collected and exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally, and has been published in B&W Magazine, CameraArts, Annahar Newspaper (Beirut), and published on websites such as Smithosianmag.com and NationalGeographic.com.
