Greetings!

  

Our April meeting featured Wedding and Travel Photographer, William Innes who shared not only some great travel images, but a pretty in-depth insight into the world of micro 4/3 gear.  Based on what William shared, you can get a complete system that is half the weight, half the money and half the size without giving up quality.  Not a bad idea.  And what a great way to get a light weight system for traveling.

Our next meeting with feature our 2nd Digital Photographic Competition of the year.  So start getting your images ready, and the submissions start on Friday 5/22/15 with our competition slated for Thursday, May 28, 2015.  Fire up the computer and start prepping those amazing images as we march down the road to see who becomes 2015 Photographer of the Year!  Will it be you?

If you are looking for additional motivation, or are interested in learning so new techniques, consider the upcoming PPC West Coast School, which are in San Diego the week of June 14-19, 2015.

So have a great month, and get out there and shoot some amazing images.

April Event Recap: William Innes
 
What a fantastic, resourceful evening with William! Not only did he show us some breath-taking images from his many travels, but he also showcased his lightweight gear for half the price of Nikon and Canon equipment! 

Thank you William for speaking at our event!
