For April, we’ll focus on Photography From One Spot. A way to challenge your skills and spark inspiration is to set limits on where you can shoot pictures. During the meeting we will see how many different pictures we can make from inside a hula hoop circle. Be sure to bring a camera with you; phones are fine.
Note: Please bring your photos to share on a thumb drive to use in our computer.
