June 7th meeting, demo and ONS at Plainfield Library Demo: "Photograph and Edit your artwork" by Mike Bessler

This is a free meeting and open to the public, so all you friends of PAL, come and see how we're doing.  Light refreshments will be served.

This and all demos are free and open to the public

Mike will go through how to take a photo of your own artwork using your camera and common lighting techniques, so bring your camera and some artwork to copy. Then he will show you how to edit this photo in Lightroom to produce an excellent copy. You should be able to print and sell these giclee's or use these digital negatives on your website.

Bring your camera and your artwork to copy.

Mike Bessler's passion is to create enhanced photographs on canvas that will capture the awe of nature. He particularly enjoys creating and printing very large images that combine his artistic vision with his technical expertise.

Members One Night Show (ONS)
A One Night Show (ONS) will also take place during the meeting.  Each member should bring in one artwork to display to everyone at the meeting.  The best judged artwork will receive a ribbon.  Remember, bringing in an artwork for the ONS is a defensive move as the judge is chosen for those members that do NOT bring in a piece.  How's that for an unveiled threat.
