This Photography Club meets every two weeks on Tuesday evenings for a shoot around the city and then discussion about the shoot and socializing at a local bar/cafe. The start time for the bi-weekly meeting will vary so keep an eye on the header for location, time, and date information.
We welcome all skill levels. Some of us know what we are doing...some of us don’t! The common ground is our passion, our desire to improve, and our willingness to help others.
We have a Flickr Group but in order to have access you need to participate in at least one meeting! Hopefully that will keep you around and wanting more!
Welcome!

As winter is setting in, usable light is diminishing earlier so we will aim to meet at 5:30pm. For those of you who can't make it this early, PM me and I will give you my mobil number. This is a small enough place that it should be easy to catch up with us.
The fair is open until 7pm, there are lots of stalls, rides, and interesting people to photograph. The challenge will be the low light conditions. Bring your flashes and tripods.

Unfortunately, I neither have flashes nor tripods, so I guess I'm out for this one.
Hi CaBe - it's not a problem. Tripods and flash might be of some use but are optional. I don't have a flash either.
Between 5.30-6.30 there will be enough light for handheld shooting and there are also lots of lights around the Dult. Just crank up the ISO and practice your breathing and bracing techniques! There are also plenty of lights on the funfair section for handheld shooting as it gets a little darker.
Tripods will only be useful once we move beyond the market (if we do) - any shutter speed requiring a tripod is already too slow since the market is full of movement. (Besides which I have a spare fast release plate which you can attach to your camera and use with my tripod if you want to do any tripod shooting - assuming I bring a tripod which I may not.)
So, to sum up:
No flash = no problem
No tripod = no problem
No CaBe = problem!
So sign up and we'll see you there.

I'm going today to Westpark to get some autumn colors. Anybody wants to join?
Start 17:30 from Tram 18 station "Stegener weg".
I was there last year and it was worth it.

A photo tip worth sharing
I subscribe to lots of photographers blogs and will share ones that I think are particularly useful. This one caught my eye because it is non-technical and very difficult for many people to do, yet I think it is important to develop this part of the process.
The original blog post can be found on Scott Bourne's PhotoFocus blog
(Excerpt from blog.....)
I’ve talked here before about pre-visualization. But for some of you, my discussion has been too ethereal. You want some concrete steps you can take to improve your pre-visualization skills. In order to effectively pre-visualize, there are some things you can do to prepare.
a. Go somewhere quiet.
b. Relax and get comfortable
c. Turn off the phone, TV, radio, iPod and your computer
d. Bring a pen and paper – yes – pen and paper – it works better than a laptop
e. Close your eyes and concentrate on creating a blank page
Now you are ready to start painting a picture in your mind’s eye. Here’s your first exercise…
1. Look at one of your older photos that failed – now visualize ways in which the photo could have worked. What could you have done differently? If you were at that place right now, how would the photo come out in a perfect world.
The value of this exercise is that it helps release any feelings of anxiety or fear of failure that might be blocking you from successfully pre-visualizing new images.
2. If you could only take one more photo before you die, what subject would you photograph?
The value of this exercise is simple – it helps you determine that which is really important to you – photographically. It also helps you to practice “seeing” when there is nothing tangible in front of you to look at.
3. Previz Scout – go on a hike or a bike ride or a car ride through a very visually interesting and/or beautiful area. DO NOT bring you camera. Instead, use your mind’s eye and try to SEE images WITHOUT the camera. Do the old-fashioned frame with your hands in order to see the picture. Take notes if you see something special and return with your camera if you like.
The value of this exercise is that you are forced to work like a painter. You start with a blank canvas and then SEE the thing you want to produce – without the limitation or the crutch of equipment (or the lack thereof.)
4. Try non-photographic visualization exercises. Record your dreams. Try to use more visual words and phrases in your everyday conversations. Doodle.
The value of this exercise is to strengthen your creative muscles. Think of it as weight-lifting for your creative mind.
5. Before thinking about any particular image – try thinking about the emotional and psychological impact you want the image to make on the viewer.
The value of this exercise is to help you become a visual storyteller.

Place: Marienplatz - Fish Fountain. The fountain with the fish on it ;-) across from Deutsche Bank.
Time: 5:45pm
Tomorrow we may have the opportunity to capture in a very fun event happening in Munich. It is all quite hush-hush and all I know at this point is that something fun will occur somewhere in downtown Munich at around 6:45pm tomorrow. I have registered to participate and will either get the full scoop tonight (including exact time and location) or as late as one hour before the event tomorrow. If this is anything like the other events that this group has created, it will be worth it to be on hand to take photos. So, in order to be prepared I am suggesting that we meet up at Marienplatz at 5:45pm so we can move into position once the final location is revealed via SMS. If you have a video camera, you might also want to pack it just in case. ;-)
If for some reason this event falls through or I am unable to get the information needed, we will simply make a photo walk in a section of Aldstadt.
If you would like to join the fun, please copy and paste this entire message and add your name to the list!
