The Sumter Digital Camera Club was formed in 2005. The group, spearheaded by local
photographer Chris Moore, was started after students in Basic Digital Photography
at Central Carolina Technical College requested that Moore along with several
class members create a club designed specifically for digital photographers in
Sumter. Photographers that were using the latest in equipment and software to
take, edit and share their pictures.The purpose of the club is to assist photographers
of all backgrounds in learning how to better use their cameras. The club has photographers
from grandmothers that like to take photographs of their grandchildren to others
that make their living in photography.

Our
1st workshop of the New Year will be held on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 7pm
in the community meeting room at Sumter Mall (where we hold our monthly meetings).
This
month's topic is "How to Use Your Camera" and will be perfect for all
of you who received new digital cameras for Christmas! Fellow SDCC member, Pete
Lawrence, will be giving a walkthrough of basic camera settings (such as Program,
Shutter, Aperture Priority, and Manual Modes, etc.). He will explain their function
and purpose and let you know which setting will work best in certain situations.
Details
provided by Pete: This will be hands on workshop so you will need to bring your
camera and book. I will be talking about things that effect light; ISO, shutter
speed and aperture. Then I will talk about the situations that suggest one mode
over another on your camera. Which in turn will lead to discussing manual mode
and then finishing with things that further effect exposure such as white balance.
The
workshop is FREE for members of the Sumter Digital Camera Club. There is a cost
of $10 for non-members or guests. It is only $25/year to join, so if you are interested
in joining please let me know. Just one of the benefits of being a member.
Please
send me an email (info@sumtershutterbugs.com) no later than Tuesday morning so
that we know many to expect, have refreshments for and seating for.
