*edit*

Due to the impending snowstorm, the Flagpole Photographers Camera Club is cancelling the program night ‘Know Your Camera’ scheduled for February 9th . No reschedule date has been set as of this time.

Did you receive a new camera over the holidays? Bring your camera and join the Flagpole Photographers Camera Club in February for their ‘Know Your Camera’ presentation. Whether you just got a new camera or are ready to explore other settings, this is the night for you. After an overview of the basic settings, get hands on experience at different stations. Experienced photographers will be at each station to help you learn the important fundamentals. This will be held on Thursday, February 9th at 7:30pm at the Newtown Senior Center, 14 Riverside Road in Sandy Hook. *cancelled due to impending snowstorm*

The assigned subject for the month of February is “Nature”. Nature photography is restricted to photos that depict all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject material. Human elements shall not be present, except where those human elements are integral parts of the nature story such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks, adapted to an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in situations depicting natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. This will be held on Thursday, February 23rd at 7:15pm at the Newtown Senior Center, 14 Riverside Road in Sandy Hook.

The club also would like to briefly mention a couple upcoming events to keep on your calendar. In March, member Charles Batchelder will be presenting on the subject of Still Life photography; and in April, the club will be hosting a photography walkabout around Newtown.

Members compete in a different assignment each month, as well as in three additional categories: Open Digital, Open Color, and Open Monochrome. While the competition is only open to members, the public is invited to listen to critiques and learn about photography.

There is no charge to attend Flagpole Photographers Camera Club competitions. Flagpole Photographers is a local non-profit group that enables members to share their images and expertise, to learn and grow in their photography, and to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow photographers who come from diverse backgrounds, with photographic skills ranging from beginning novices to professionals.

New members are always welcome to join the club and may enter their work in monthly club competitions, participate in workshops, take field trips, get involved in community programs, and take part in annual exhibits. Dues are $35 per person or $55 for a family. Students may join at no charge.
