PODS Monthly Meeting, September 25th 2025 6:30pm

In Shackleton's Footsteps

PODS members Dave and Drew Wilson took a bucket list trip to South Georgia and Antarctica last Christmas and ended up visiting many of the key locations involved in the rescue of the 28 members of the Imperial Transantarctica Expedition, marooned on the sea ice in 1914 after their ship Endurance was frozen in and crushed. Dave will give a presentation illustrated by his photos from the 2024 expedition and from Endurance photographer Frank Hurley, describing the trials and tribulations of Sir Ernest Shackleton and the rest of the crew as they survived for over 18 months on the ice and afloat on the Southern Ocean.

PODS Monthly Meeting – June 26th, 2025 6:30pm

We will be working on critiques this month. To become better at your craft, there are three things you must do: 1- keep taking pictures, 2- expand your boundaries by going into areas you might not be proficient at, 3- examine your work and get ideas and suggestions to make it better. 

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 meeting will be at our usual venue – Holy Spirit Episcopal Church, 301 Hays Country Acres Rd, Dripping Springs, TX 78620 – at 6:30pm.
