Join Vince Curletta at Dripping Springs Community Library from 10:00am – 12:00pm on Saturday, March 21st for his class “An Introduction to Photography with a Digital Camera“. Vince will discuss the basics of exposure, basic functions of all cameras, and how to use a digital camera in manual mode. Bring a digital camera, if you have one. This discussion will be ideal for people who’ve used their phone for photography, but would like to take a step to learn how to use a better camera.

2/26 Monthly Meeting – Show and Tell

by with No Comment Meetings

February’s monthly meeting, the first of the new era as DSAL Photography Club, will be at 7pm on Thursday, February 26th, 2026. At our planning meeting a couple of weeks ago, people were very keen to have more opportunities to see and show member images so this month we’re having a “Show and Tell” at the home of Dave Wilson, 14000 Robin’s Run, Austin TX 78737 (just off Nutty Brown Road). Members are encouraged to send up to 15 of their favorite images on any topic they choose. These will be shown at the meeting and the owner will be encouraged to tell their story as the slideshow progresses. In case anyone is worried, this is not a critique session although, if you request feedback, other members will be available to provide it.

Send your images, sized at least 2048 pixels on the long side, to Dave via the club email account, dsal.photo.club@gmail.com. You can either attach the images directly to the email if they are not too large (remembering that some email programs will automatically downscale!) or, better, upload them to DropBox or a similar file sharing site and send the link.

This year’s Christmas party will take place on Friday, December 12th at 6:30 PM, located at Holy Spirit Episcopal Church (301 Hays Country Acres Road).

For this year’s event, we are serving chicken piccata, with the option to add shrimp if desired.

Please RSVP by Thursday, December 4th, which should include:
    •  If you are attending YES or NO
                 If yes:
            ▪  Number of attendees in your party
            ▪  Whether you will bring a dish – if so, specify what dish you will bring. Deserts, salads, and side dishes are always appreciated.

We will also be hosting our traditional “white elephant” gift exchange. To participate, simply bring a wrapped gift valued at $25 or less. Our master of ceremonies for the evening will once again be none other than Doug Gephardt. Even if you choose not to partake in the gift exchange, I assure you it will be an enjoyable and entertaining evening for all.
