Monthly Meeting

Wednesday May 12 at 7PM in the Ocotillo Room.

We will be presenting a segment from this week's Lightroom Virtual Summit, on wildlife photography and editing.  I think you will find this interesting and I hope you can join us. There will not be water available so feel free to bring your own refreshment.

Education

Wednesday May 19 at 7:00 pm.

Please mark your calendars for the May PCQC Education meeting.

It will be held Weds evening, May 19, starting at 7:00 pm.
The meeting will be live and in person in the Kino Center - there will be no Zoom.

The Topic will be "Planning a Shoot".  It will be an interactive meeting led by Rick Dawes of our photo club.
It will include some short videos, use of new apps,  and interactive discussion.

As many of us now have trips planned later this spring and summer, this topic should interest a lot of us.

I am looking forward to seeing you there.

Field Trips

As our summer weather is here, we will not have a field trip from May until September this year. That will give us time to get some volunteers to help set up and coordinate our trips going forward.  If you are interested in setting up a field trip and have a location in mind, please drop me a note and we can work out details.  Our field trips have always been popular and we need some help putting them together.

Photos from the November field trip to Tohono Chul can be seen here.
