May, June, July and Fall News

With spring in the air, watch for studio tours by local artists. Review your local listings. 

Debra reminded me to look for the El Dorado Hills Arts Association 2023 Studio Tours set for Saturday and Sunday, May 20th and 21st. 

RenSoc photographers (you!) are encouraged to participate in the June Black and White (and Shades of Gray) or the July See What I See photography shows and sales at ACAI Gallery.  Watch for email with contact information and begin to review your Photos Library for this summer adventure. 

For the July show, personally, I am thinking of stylized camellias printed on square tiles at 8"x8" size. The original iPhone images were taken in 2022 at the Camellia Show and processed with TangledFX. MPIX's giclee prints are ready to frame, but tiles are "frameless" and seductively simple to hang on the wall. A year ago I was exporting images out of my iCloud space to stay under 200GB. I am no longer in that straight-jacket, now at 1TB! Now I just have to find the stylized images on external drives and print in new ways. 

Time to step out of our comfort zones. Review your photos and images and consider contributing to the B&W or See shows. More info to follow from Laurene Fitzpatrick, ACAI Gallery and DigiCam Photo Group member. 

The photo show last July from the DigiCam class was fun as we slowly emerged from pandemic status. ACAI might focus on "ceramic" but the gallery shows welcome all art forms.

Fall 2023 iPhone Studio description and dates have been accepted: 
Thursdays, Sep 7 to Oct 12 (6 weeks) 10 am to 12 pm
 
Past studio enrollees are encouraged to register as this seminar transitions into participant-led activities oriented towards video production. Continuing to use familiar apps and expanded studio workflow, this semester we add emphasis on the iMovie app. Online shared albums are our critique and learning platform. While six meetings are scheduled for Zoom, presenters may plan in-person photo walks instead. Our public website continues to provide informative articles, demonstration videos, and examples of our artwork at http://rsiphonephotostudio.blogspot.com, please stop by to see what we are all about.


Check for Today at Apple sessions - in Roseville. Use the Apple Store app or go online. Look for Photography and Video topics and invite friends to join you. iMovie is a 30 minute table-top hands-on class offered at different times during the week.
