PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB BASED ON MAUI

“Donʻt just take a picture, make a picture”
-Ansel Adams
Tournament of Champions, Kapalua Golf Course
One Subject - Multiple Interpretations
Topic for August
Choose a single subject and take several shots using different apertures, increase or slow down your shutter speed, crop in different aspect ratios, or even experiment with different color filters. Itʻs your shot - get creative. The excitement is learning to use your camera and playing with post processing.
Be sure to only submit pictures taken within the last six months.
Email your pictures by the Friday before the club meeting to Curtiss Gajda at ckgajda@gmail.com.
Meetings are held on the second Monday of the month from 5:30-7:30p at 179 W Kaʻahumanu Avenue, Kahului, HI 96732

Working Hands
Topic for September
What would we do without our hands? Hands tell a story; hands save the day; hands help one another; hands create magic. Letʻs pay tribute to hands by telling a story through the eyes of a photographer. Capture the mood or emotion and improve your visual storytelling in September's photo topic.

Member's Photo Story Page
To create excitement in the club, we have a Memberʻs Photo Story Page.
This page is a photo story with at least one photograph and one short paragraph submitted by any club member. It is a way to encourage others to participate more in the club in an inclusive way. There is almost no limit to the length of the story or number of photographs…yet. Weʻll see if we have that problem. The photographs would be of your choice but related to the story. It does not have to relate to the monthly assignments and yet, it could. For example, if you had more than 2 pictures that you wanted to share, you could write and share the other pictures on this page. You could also tell the story about how you got the pictures or even the challenges you faced to get the shots. Itʻll be your show ʻn tell time.
