Amazing Photos of Mount Lemmon Fires       Thanks to Bob Hills, Saddlebrook Ranch Photo Club
Monthly MeetingOur July monthly meeting will be by Zoom. On Wednesday, July 8, at 7:00, Jim Burkstrand will host the meeting. All are invited, even snowbirds!
We will continue the National Geographic Travel Photography series and here are the course materials: Travel Video no 21 Photographing a City Travel Video no 22 Photographing a Region: Tuscany Everyone will get an email from Jim on connecting to the Zoom meeting but here are some technical details: You will receive an email from my Gmail account on that day about 6:45 pm which will invite you to join my meeting. I will do that by email, as the email will contain both the meeting ID and the password to enter the meeting. It will look like this (minus the red) 
You should read the email on the device you will use to participate in the meeting. When you go to the link specified, please join the meeting with your video. You will then go into a waiting room. I will release you from that room to the meeting room. Be sure to also turn on your audio.
When the meeting starts, I will probably mute everybody. We will have a Chat function available. I have only had a few issues arise with a couple of iPads. Check your junk mail if you don't see my email in a reasonable amount of time. Please don't use Firefox as a browser to open your email that day. It may have audio problems. Check your device settings and be sure that your camera is turned on. It will also work the best if you have no other applications open when we do the Zoom meeting. And it will be faster if you download the Zoom app ahead of time. EducationWe will have our June education meeting on Wed. June 17 via Zoom.
The topic will be photo retouching and you are all invited to retouch photos that Jim had previously sent out. And, of course, all are invited to attend the meeting. Here is Jim's email invitation: This is just a short note to remind you of the Education Meeting we will have via Zoom on Weds night, June 17, at 7:00 pm I will send out the invitation to join the meeting about 6:45 pm that evening. Mark your calendar. We will share photos that we edit, and discuss the hows and why we edited like we did. A large number of you have already said that you would like to participate. I have received some edits from a few club members. I'd like many more. Please send them along to me as you do them. I would like them by Weds early afternoon so I can arrange them properly. There are four of them to play with. Edit them 2 or 3 different ways if you want, depending on the mood you want to convey. They are in a Dropbox folder for you to download at <url not shown here>. The Dropbox folder can be found in Jim's original email. Just add your name or initials to the end of filename when you save it. Field TripsDoors and Windows Photography Walking Tour 2
