Alan Heald, Chair
Since the club now holds just three of these events a year, it behooves our print makers to mark this date down on their calendars. Of course, it also means that it is time to begin warming up those printers so you can make some prints to show to the group.
In any case, as of this moment, you cannot claim to have been left out in the dark about Print Night. There is still plenty of time to come up with some images to show to the group!

Rose, Martin Taylor
Flowers, or better yet roses, are probably the most photographed subjects of all. Several styles of photography can be achieved when a beautiful rose is placed in front of a lens. Categories ranging from simple catalog photos to dramatically sharp close-ups or creative impressionistic blurs to whimsical abstracts can be captured by using a bit of imagination and technical diversity. Whatever your approach may be, the garden offers plenty of opportunity in its two long rows of rectangular beds with hybrid tea, floribunda, grandiflora and miniature roses of all colors. To expand your possibilities for this field trip, I suggest bringing a macro lens, tripod, diffuser and even a “mist” container. Try to get there early to catch side light or even some early morning fog. We will meet at the garden.
Directions:
The garden is located at Kennedy Drive behind the Japanese Tea Garden. It extends to Fulton Street near 14th Avenue, (Presidio Way) in the Richmond District. Parking is available around Stow Lake; just make sure you get there early. I guess sometime between 10:30 and 11:00 AM we can go have coffee in the de Young museum café. There is no entrance fee.

Here’s the pdf version of Color News, May 2010. If you are still receiving your Color News through snail mail and would prefer to get it electronically in your email (and save Photochrome a little overhead into the bargain) please emailSFalice@aol.com and Alice Steele will sort you out.
Just a reminder regarding our next field trip that will be on Saturday, May 1st. 6:00 AM at the reserve.
Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Moss Beach
Tide Pool Photography Field Trip
6:00 AM Saturday May 1, 2010
Directions: You should probably leave San Francisco no later than 5:30 AM. The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is located on the San Mateo County coast in Moss Beach. The entrance to the Reserve is at the western end of California Avenue off Cabrillo Highway (State Highway 1). Look for the large highway sign “California Avenue,” and the smaller sign “Marine Life Refuge,” just below it.
