Flagpole Photographers invites the public to their May online events, which will include the program night “How Would I Edit That?”

For anyone who has ever had a photo that they loved but just needed a little help editing it or who is unsure of what program to use, club members Chane Cullens, Mark Ashbolt, and Darrell Harrington will live edit guests’ photos as if they were their own. Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom and various plug-ins will be the predominant applications used.

This presentation is scheduled for Thursday, May 13, at 7:30 pm.

The competition theme for May is “Architecture Details” with “Recreate a Famous Painting” as the monthly challenge. This will take place on Thursday, May 27, at 7:15 pm.

Members compete in a different assignment each month, as well as in Open Color and Open Monochrome. New for this season has been a monthly challenge category, which is decided at the competition meetings for the next month. While the competition is only open to members, the public is invited to listen to critiques and learn about photography.

There is no charge to attend Flagpole Photographers Camera Club competitions. Flagpole Photographers is a local nonprofit group that enables members to share their images and expertise, to learn and grow in their photography, and to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow photographers who come from diverse backgrounds, with photographic skills ranging from beginning novices to professionals.

Visit the club’s website for information on how to join the online meetings.
