Ogden Camera Club November Field Trip

What: Hill Aerospace Museum

Where: 7961 Wardleigh Rd - Building 1955 Hill AFB

When: Saturday, November 19th @ 9:00 AM.

Cost: Free (please feel free to make a donation)

More Info: www.hill.af.mil/library/museum

This will be a good opportunity to get both wide shots of aircraft and close-up shots of detail.

Come and spend as much time as you like with the group.

We can swap lenses, share tips, and enjoy the cool aircraft displays.

Make sure to dress warm if you plan to photograph the aircraft outside. The weather forecast shows a high of 38 degrees and a chance of snow. That could create some interesting shots.

See you this Saturday!

David Terry - Special Guest Speaker - November 2011 Meeting

The Ogden Camera Club is proud to present one of Utah's top wedding and portrait photographers, David Terry, at our next meeting on November 10th.

As a 12 year old with a newspaper route, and more money than he could spend, David decided to purchase his first camera. Both he and his father purchased cameras at the same time, setting the hook for a lifetime of photography. David and his father continued to purchase camera gear and spent a lot of time in the dark room creating black and white and color pictures.

David became a software engineer and his photography was put aside for a time. However, he never lost interest. In 2000 he shot his first wedding at the request of friends. By 2004 he was convinced that wedding photography was something he truly loved. David then made the transition from film to digital, and setup a small home studio. Today, he shoots about 25 weddings a year. Still working full-time as a software engineer, David decided a long time ago that he equally loved both professions and chose to sacrifice sleep.

As a mentor and a professional photographer, David has a love for photography. He loves to teach and surround himself with others that share his passion for photography.

David will be teaching us about flash and off camera lighting techniques. You won't want to miss this meeting! Visitors are always welcome. November 10, 2011 - 7:00 PM - Bonneville High School - Ogden.
