Basics of Photography (Special Interest Group)

Contact: Gary Ford
This Special Interest Group is intended for those who see themselves as either a new photographer or a less-than-confident intermediate photographer.

We will meet once per month, via an on-line Zoom meeting. We will cover one of the basic topics during a short presentation then open the meeting up to a Q&A on any subject. The goal will to be to answer as many of your questions as possible in order to increase the value you gain by being an Images Alberta Camera Club member.

Unlike most of the other SIGs which dedicate a high amount of time to showing member images, this Special Interest Group will be predominantly educational in nature. We do intend to provide time to socialize, and will invite members to share some of their own images, but most of each session will involve a show and tell about photographic basics.
