May 9 Camera Club Meeting - Hands On

The next meeting of the Eastman Camera Club is for the beginner to intermediate photographers out there.  Got a new DSLR and don't know Av from P?   Curious about when to use manual focus?  Want to know about selecting a lens, tripod or other accessory?   Bring your camera and join us at 6:00 PM on Thursday May 9.



The format is hands on, which is the best way to learn.  We will have some of our more advanced members available to help you with your questions, give you tips, and generally share their photographic wisdom and knowledge.   We hope to spend most of our time outdoors in the Eastman picnic areas on Bays Mountain.  If we run into bad weather then we'll move indoors in the Eastman Lodge.

Important - This is not our normal 3rd Thursday or normal location.   It is May 9th and is at the Eastman Bays Mountain Recreation Area

We will start at Shelter #40.  Check out this map for location information.
