On the first Wednesday night of each month, we sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor of love – our digital images.
It is time to take a look our images. In doing this, we will come face to face with the creative beauty of our images and we will have fun learning at the same time. Everyone is encouraged to participate by sending in images. All images must be submitted by 12:00 noon on the Monday before the meeting.
Homework Fun: This is another way that we encourage you to experiment with your image editing tools. This section is always lots of fun as we see just how creative we can be. You are encouraged to submit multiple images. Please submit the unedited image as well as one or more edited images so that we can see what changes have been made. After we have viewed the current month’s images, our fantastic leader will tell us all about the next month’s Homework Fun Project. You will have a full month to get to work on it. If you would like some help or inspiration, we will use a portion of the next image editing meetings to cover some of the techniques that you can use for the current project.

Photo Challenge: Digits members are invited to submit photos that fit a different theme each month. We encourage you to go out and take new photos that fit the theme. However, photos can be taken for any month’s assignment but not earlier than one year prior to its display. The photo must be true to the theme, and should originate with the camera. Limited post-processing is permitted. You may crop the images and you may make minor adjustments to tone, color, etc. You may submit up to 10 images. This is yet another way to learn photography, by observing what others do. During the meeting, discussion about how the assignment was interpreted is encouraged. Challenge your photographic mind and skill—be creative, have fun!
Photo Sharing: We will finish off the meeting with a section in which we share our photos with each other. This is not a “what I did on my vacation” project, but rather an opportunity to share images of high quality or interest through photographers’ eyes. There are no holds barred. Anything goes, cell phone images included. The images can be edited in any way that you see fit. Artistic renditions are a special treat. Due to time constraints, please do not send more than ten (10) images.
Slide Shows: This is another great way for you to share your images with the group. Besides having the images tell a story, you can create slide shows that bring the story to life. By adding motion, creative transitions and music, you can enhance the visual effect. We ask is that you limit the show time to no more one and one half minutes +/-.
Whether or not you attended a meeting, you can still see all of the images that were submitted as a slideshow, by clicking on this LINK.
