  Black & White SIG - Scheduled Tuesdays @ 9:30 am

  
  

  The Black & White Special Interest Group - Wendell Werner, moderator.
  
  Specific Tuesdays @ 9:30am during the summer (Check Schedule)

  
  

  We will be meeting live in the Ansel Adams Room and by Zoom.

  
  

  The Black & White Special Interest Group is a meeting of those club members who enjoy the special qualities of black & white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing and comments by the group. 

  Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.

  The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”  The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white.  These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.

  Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.

  A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos that they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways that they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.

  Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!
