SIMSBURY CAMERA CLUB OUTING: Civil War Battle Reenactment Photography Outing
SIMSBURY CAMERA CLUB OUTING: The Reenactment runs from 9:30am to 4:30pm but you do not have to stay for the whole day (that would be a long day of photography). I figure we can meet up around 9:45am at the entrance to the Oriental Garden by parking lot A. Most of the action will be happening in the big field to the left as you enter the park. The rain date for this outing is Sunday 17th with the hours of the Reenactment being 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. The entrance fee for Wickham Park is $10 per car. The fee also covers the Reenactment. Since the entrance fee is per car, maybe consider carpooling with fellow club members if you wish. Tripods will be allowed.
TWO RULES: DO NOT go into the flower beds !Second: DO NOT take any pictures of children who are at the park and its playgrounds!!

Library Lecture Series - Still Life Photography by Betsy Wilson
The Simsbury Camera Club is presenting Betsy Wilson as she explores the world of still life photography through her unique perspective. A combination of traditional still life subjects, fascinating nature still subjects, and a few whimsical and unusual creations, Betsyâs still life images provide studies in composition and lighting.
Unlike landscape or street photography, the photographer is in complete control of subject matter, composition, shape, color, depth of field, lighting and presentation. The true skill lies in the ability to take something mundane and everyday out of its normal habitat and transform it into something of beauty by using our skills as photographers.

Simplicity, composition, angle of view, lighting, harmony and most importantly mystery. Lewis will discuss how to create effective abstract images using everyday objects, using design elements, using macro lenses, shooting through objects, capturing motion, playing with lighting and how to create a home studio to create and capture abstract images.Lewis Katz is an award-winning member of the Baltimore Camera Club. Teaching photography is another essential component of his photography life as Lewis loves sharing his passion. Lewis currently teaches for the Johns Hopkins Odyssey program, the Capital Photography Center of DC and for private students as well.
