Eastman Camera Club Meeting - July 21

We have two topics for our July 21 meeting and a chance to win online video training.

Carla Olson will be coming to our July meeting.  Carla has been a professional studio photographer with Eastman for the past 12 years.   She is also the owner of Carla Olson Photography, specializing in portraits, weddings, and children photography.

Carla will tell us about tabletop photography of products or still life arrangements.   Tabletop

photography is a branch of still life photography that focuses on capturing items that can be placed on a table. The most common photographic subjects of this genre are food photography and product photography, i.e. photographing a product for commercial purposes.

Carla will be talking about and demonstrating equipment and techniques for composing and lighting small objects that can be placed on a tabletop.

We will be rolling out a new club website at the July 21 meeting.   The new site will be the way to get info on outings, rental equipment, share photos, buy/sell/swap, get training, etc.   Come out for the demo.


We will be giving away a copy of Becoming An Artist by Trey Ratliff at this meeting.  This is a new online training series on art, photography and life. This is unlike anything Trey has done before. Trey begins each episode with a personal story and then dives deep into post-processing back in his studio. He covers composition, color, light and inspiration. He'll show you tips & tricks for Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Photomatix.  It also includes a free trial and tutorial for his new favorite tool, Aurora HDR Pro.

- 15 episodes filled with inspirational stories, photo tips, and post-processing techniques
