From the
editor's desk:
Welcome to
the shortened April Edition of the
Sound Exposure Photography Club's Newsletter.
I am in the
Southwest on a photo safari and with limited access to email. As a result, I
will provide only the basic info for this month's edition.
We hope to bring the
membership through these pages, a treasury of ideas, direction, artwork,
offerings and support. ~
Comments:
This
month is Print Night. Try to keep your images to a manageable size, matted but
not framed.
Remember we
are a community of photographers, and support is at the very heart of our club.
So do not hesitate to provide your suggestions on how to make our site,
newsletter or any of our other activities better for all of our member
photographers. ~

Refreshments this is a reminder for those
who volunteer to bring refreshments for the club meetings. Save Your Receipts and hand them into the club treasurer.
In addition, a note from the
Refreshment Chair; for those of you who enjoy the refreshments please donate a little $$
to help offset the clubs expense. Remember a little goes a long way. And think
about volunteering to bring in goodies.
At
the moment, there is a $30 max. the club will repay
for the snacks but with fifty or more folk [attending each meeting,] that isn't
much per person is it? I will talk to Brian about it. ~

Photographic
Techniques, Tips and Trips:
A big thanks goes to
1. Make your camera, computer, and printer have the same "color
space". This means, if your computer is working in the
color space
of "SRGB" (normal for IBM type computers) change your camera to
"sRGB" and then change the printer to the same color space
(sRGB).
Reading the manual is time consuming but does pay off in the end.
2. When printing from PhotoShop, use PhotoShop's Color Print
engine. Turn off the color management in your Systems' Printer
Driver. This is done from the Print command when you are going to
print. Click the Print Button and find your Color Management then
click on NO COLOR MANAGEMENT button. This way PhotoShop color print
engine will do all the color management. You will find you are not
double color managing.

Lets give a warm round of applause to these members for stepping up to the

Well that
is it for now I hope you enjoyed reading through your newsletter. I would like to
reiterate this is your club and your
newsletter. If you have any ideas to make your club a better community, please
contact any of the board members.
Photography
has always been and remains multifaceted; it tells us stories of life,
providing insight, pleasure and pain. I am always amazed at the ease in which
photography can effect emotion and connection.
It is written,
that on July 4th in 1862, as a result of a controversy surrounding copyright
issues during a recent art show, the French Court declared that photography be
legally accepted as fine art.
I want to
thank the French for their marvelous insight.
We look forward to hearing from you. ~
