The parking lot only has 6 spaces so if the lot is full when you arrive, you can find street parking just east of the studio on 6th and 7th streets. This meeting will be a photo share so each person may bring up to 10 images you’ve taken with your Point and Shoot camera, cellphone, or ipad that you wish to share with the group. Bring your images on a USB drive and be prepared to share a little about each image you bring. If you wish to attend, but do not have any images to share at this time, that is perfectly fine as well….just enjoy the show! 
I hope to see you then.

We have a room reserved at the Ellettsville Library. Besides the scheduled photoshare of all those great shots you've gotten so far this year, we will be having a Summer Hodge Podge. So start looking around to find objects to bring that have interesting form, color, texture, etc. for close up photos. Then bring your cameras and we will have fun putting together unique shots of the items that have been brought.

Looks like a busy month! Hope you can attend some of the events!

We will meet at Flatwoods Park which has birds, butterflies, flowers and forest area. It also has restrooms and water! If you are not familiar with the park's location, come west on St. Rd 46. When you get to the west end of Ellettsville, where the road becomes two lane again, drive one mile. Turn left onto Flatwoods Road. About a mile down the road the park entrance is on the left. Since this is not a long drive, we are not scheduling carpooling.

Around noon we will head back to town and at a location in Ellettsville, to be determined by the group.. Suggestions--Arby's, Chinese restaurant in Richland Plaza, Taco Bell, or the El Ranchero behind Arby's. After lunch the next stop will be the Westbury Antique Mall. We've had lots of fun wandering around the large, two floors, taking pictures even with tripods!

Looks like a busy month! Hope you can attend some of the events!

Tech Tip: Walt Sterneman will present “Camera Exposure Basics”.

Photoshare: Silhouette; Self Portrait; Found; Alphabet; One Shape.

Guidelines for photoshares: Up to eight (8) images per person. Please use these dimensions for your images:

For landscape orientation: 1400 pixels width.
For portrait orientation: 1050 pixels height.
The ppi doesn’t matter.
If you want the images shown in a particular order, rename so as to add numbers at the start of the file name, e.g., 01-IMG_567, 02-IMG_428.
Please put your images in a separate folder using this format: !BPCAug-YourName. The exclamation point serves to put the folder at the top of any other folders you may have on your flash drive, making the loading process much easier for the person doing that task.

Artists pick up their art from the Waldron Arts Center. When you pick up your art, if you have not made an appointment to de-install with the gallery director, then Ivy Tech security staff must see at least one photo ID and feel confident that you are who you say you are. This is for your protection and that of the College. If you are sending a person, or persons, other than yourself to de-install you must let the gallery director know their names and their relationship to you in advance. They, too, must present photo ID to the satisfaction of staff. Ivy Tech will not ship art under any circumstances.

Parking and entrance at the rear. All members are encouraged to attend.

We will meet at the Winery, 200 East Winery Road (take the Sample Road exit off I-69 North) at 10:00 a.m. There are many excellent and diverse photo opportunities at the Winery, both outdoors and in, and the weather should be good! For further information, see https://www.oliverwinery.com/visit
