July 2010 DISIG Meeting

Sat, July 17, 2010 9:30 am – Noon
Tridge
We will start at 9:30, meeting under the Poseyville Road Bridge located at the east end of Main Street in Downtown Midland to take creative pictures. Ron will do 20 minutes showing some of his secret hideaways. Lynn will spend 20 minutes on getting close with the wide angle. We will then take pictures of the Tridge, downtown, river, statuary or whatever. The goal is to have a mildly serious critique at the August meeting using five or six 5×7 prints of both the Rose Garden (June) and the Tridge (July). Please fill in if you missed either of these outings.
