Still Life and Tabletop Photos is Topic for May 14 meeting

Our program for the May14th meeting will be a still life/tabletop workshop, where we will have hands on experience taking these types of photos. In order to enable us to do this, we ask attendees to bring the following items for yourselves and to possibly share if you have them.  Hopefully, we will be able to set up a few stations.  So be sure to bring your cameras.

• Camera
• Tripod
• Lightbox
• Other lighting sources, such as desk lamp or flashlight
• Extension cords for light sources
• Backdrops
• Fabrics
• Reflectors/Diffusers
• Subject material - flowers, shells, vignette of like items (see handout for guidance)
• Do NOT bring sand or anything that will make a mess

We are limiting attendance to about 20 photographers so there is room to move around on the boat. The captain will maneuver the boat to provide opportunities for special shots.  The boat will live at 8 a.m. and the cost is $38.95. If interested in pre-booking, call 888-315-9439 and let them know you are with the CCCC group.
