Ever wish you could actually practice your camera settings instead of just reading about them?

That’s exactly what we’re doing at our next photo club meeting.

📅 Wednesday, May 20th

📍 HVL Trails – Ballfield Pavilion
🕕 6:00 PM
⏳ Stay as long as you’d like

We’ll take a relaxed walk along the trails and work on a couple of simple settings that can completely change your photos.

No pressure. No complicated tech talk.
Just learning by doing.

🌿 What We’ll Practice

📸 Aperture Priority (Background Blur)

We’ll try:

  • Blurry background photos

  • Keeping more of the scene in focus

  • Seeing how one setting changes everything

Perfect for flowers, signs, and portraits.

🚶 Shutter Priority (Freezing Motion)

We’ll practice:

  • Capturing someone walking

  • Freezing movement in leaves

  • Getting sharper action shots

You’ll see how small changes make a big difference.

🌲 What to Expect

We’ll walk the wooded trails, stop at a few spots, and try simple challenges together.

Go at your own pace.
Ask questions.
Try things out.

👉 If you’ve ever been unsure about these modes, this is the perfect place to learn.

✔ What to Bring

  • Your camera

  • Charged battery

  • Empty memory card

  • Comfortable shoes

Never used these modes before?
Perfect — that’s exactly why we’re doing this.

Looking forward to seeing you out there!

Getting better one photo at a time,
Doug
