For the critique, please submit 1 or 2 images to Fred Cerkan (fcerkan@gmail.com).  Any genre is acceptable. Change image type to .jpg Limit size of image to either (1) 1500 pixels on the longest side, or (2) 3 Meg, whichever is easiest.

The PODS Monthly Meeting is on Thurs., May 25, at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit in the Church Hall at 6:30 p.m., 301 Hays Country Acres Rd, Dripping Springs, TX 78620

Program: Our speaker will be Warren Capps. His program is titled “Planning and Executing a Travel Photography Trip” Before traveling to a new place for a photo-shoot, it is important to set objectives for your photography. What is your purpose? Research may be needed to know the seasonality and the prime photo subjects. What you want to shoot defines the equipment you need. What you plan to do with the photos when you get home may influence your shooting style. At the same you have to open to serendipity and the unexpected event that crosses your path. This talk will help you create a shooting plan before you go, execute your plan onsite, and give suggestions on what to do with your photos when you get home.
