SCAVENGER HUNTS

Updated 04/03/2024

2024 Special Summer Project
Instead of the traditional summer scavenger hunt, the club has decided that members will be challenged to learn a new technique.  Each club member can select a topic, learn the technique, and attempt to take a photo(s) using the chosen technique, and to show the resulting photo(s) at our September meeting. 
 
To see the list,  CLICK HERE. 
 
Note:  When you visit the website for the particular technique, you'll see a Download box.  Don't click on it unless you want to join the Expert Photography web site.  Just scroll down to read the technique's instructions.  Also, try to avoid all the ads buried between the instructions.
