May Meeting Minutes and June 9th Meeting at the library...

By -

We are in luck!  We were able to book the library meeting room again for our June 9th meeting.

Please allow each member to comment on their own photos first....each photo has a story to tell.  
 
Our May meeting was full of discoveries.
 
Gary found a fox den with four adorable kits playing while their parents were out, and showed photos of pronghorn wrestling, and bighorn sheep together with wild horses!





Dee found objects shaped like letters of the alphabet - which I recommend as a visual exercise - much harder and much more fun than expected.



 
Madelynne found a new waterfall - West Fork Falls on the Kootenai Forest, and was able to capture this spring's aurora in spite of a stiff wind.  My favorites were her atmospheric frost images.



The Lens of Ed Gilliland show at the Northwest Montana History Museum was fun and impressive with lots of character, kind of like Ed himself.  It was a heartwarming gathering of friends of Ed as well as a remarkable display of his technical expertise and perfect and lyrical compositional talent.

Our next meeting will be a holiday meeting, the second Thursday of the month Dec. 14.2023.  Bring a snack or sweet to share with the club, if you would like, as well as photos to share. Last Meeting we met at the Whitefish Community Library, and it was nice to be back to a simple life.  Although I was unprepared and did not bring a laptop, Dee saved the day.  She went home to get the laptop from her house.  Only a slight delay. Frank showed the club some great snow ghost shots, bison from the range and a shot of barrel racing Sidney showed us images from his photography workshop down south in Utah, I believe.  Close up desert shots, pictographs and a comparison between black and white and infared.  His teacher carries this frame around and uses it to look for shots that he likes.   I showed images from Egypt, before going I was unaware that it is an unsafe place, or that we would have a full time security guard with us traveling to the sites.  Our first guard was very nice and down pla

Cancelled due to Cold Weather We had a nice holiday meeting at the Whitefish Library.  Next meeting will be January 11th, 2024, 6 PM, 2nd Thursday of each month.  Hard to believe we are into 2024. Below are some of the photos that we saw last month. Dee showed images from winter.  Glad she has been able to find it!  Ice skating on the North shore of Flathead and climbing up Big Mountain. It was nice to see Val at our December meeting.  She brought images from the park, of the sky and things around town that peaked her interests. Tony showed a nice collection of night shots, a wide variety of bird shots and wildlife shots. He went over to Lake Coeur d'Alene, where this year over 400 eagles have been spotted for the migration.  Check out this site that has been tracking the numbers.  I finished up with my photos from the Holy Land.  Next meeting I will bring the rest of the photos from our journey to Jordan.  This is the birthplace of Jesus.  A Greek Orthodox church has been built o
