On Jan. 24, an infrared photography course will be taught by Heath Petty at 6 p.m. This workshop explores the equipment and techniques for capturing images just outside the visible light spectrum.
Using filters or a modified camera, you can capture photos in the near infra-red spectrum, which makes for some interesting and striking photos.
We will discuss editing techniques and also methods to obtain this effect using photo editing software.

On Jan. 31, a portraits and indoor lighting course will be taught by Norm Smith at 6 p.m. This is a hands-on workshop. According to Smith, be prepared to take photos and/or model for others.
The second session begins Feb. 21 with a group meeting at 5:30 p.m. and beginner’s class at 6 p.m.
On March 20, a photo group meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. and photo management class will be taught by Petty at 6 p.m.
Petty says, “if you have 10,000 digital photos and cannot find anything or what do you do with them? End the frustration — get organized.”
“This is a do-it-yourself group. No one is paid. Classes and activities are free, unless there is a transportation charge,” said Petty.
