This month’s program will be the Club Competition, a Phantogram
workshop by Steve Hughes and 3DFest 2005 planning. This is still daylight savings time, so the
meeting will start with the workshop. We
will then have a short discussion-making discussion of the 3DFest followed by
refreshments. Then we will have the club competition. The last few competitions have had a lot of
antique slides entered. That is cool –
who sees Nehru suits anymore? However, I
know that most of you have rolls of unmounted images hanging around the
house. Take some time and mount them for
this month. We ran over the
The September meeting was another well-attended meeting,
with 21 people almost filing the room. Uwe Trode and David McBride were new attendees. Bonnie gave an interesting discussion of her
work with chromadepth drawings. This is
quite a different world from photographs, but shares the feature that there are
really two images – with and without 3D.
I would like to have more workshops on the creative side of 3D. Any volunteers or suggestions?
There were some intriguing show and tells, with Mike
Griffith entertaining us with tales about his stereocard finds, Larry with some
new VM items and Steve’s prize-winning “accidental” 3D presidential stereocard
exhibit, among other reports.
The meeting is the 2nd
Friday of this month –October 8. We will meet at 7:30 PM at the Congregational
Church @ 2676 Clairmont Road (about 1 1/2 blocks south of I-85) This is the
Church up the winding road, through the woods.
If you have any questions, call Bill @ 706-859-7726.

Suggestions for a new meeting place are
dribbling in. There appear to be more

Thom Benson trekked down from
I gave him all kinds of great advice,
which turned out to be a bit humbling.
For instance, I told him to mount some slides before accumulating too
many rolls – you can learn a lot from seeing what you actually shot (I have 10
rolls hanging upstairs). Also, I
suggested picking a film and sticking to it – otherwise you can’t tell how to
set your camera for best exposure, even if you do write down the camera
settings (I have 6 different types of slide film, despite buying a couple cases
of Velvia for my refrigerator).
A separate issue was how to share the
great medium format slides which several club members are taking. Although I view the competitions as sharing
and not a cut-throat event, it does spur us on to get the Realist slides and
cards mounted and sorted for quality.
How should we do that for MF?
