WELCOME!

To the Eyes of Hawaii Photography Club Website!

We are photographers of all skill levels who not only share our love of photography but also like to socialize with other like-minded people.

Our meetings are held on the 4th Monday of the month. Potluck is from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Our general meeting is from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Meetings normally consist of member presentations, short technical tutorials, the Theme of the Month Slide Show and a guest speaker.

Visitors may attend up to 2 meetings before deciding whether to join the club. with over 120 members, the meetings tend to be quite crowded and confusing to some so if you are there for the first time, please ask for our Vice-President, A.J. Jaeger.

See you at our next meeting!

DUES FOR 2021-2022

Dues for this year are due by June 30th. Amount is $24 for recurring members.
New members and members who have not paid their dues by July will also need to pay addition $30 for initiation fees.

Send your check to: Eyes of Hawaii Photography Club, P.O. Box 161066, Honolulu, Hawaii 96816

ELECTION OF NEW CLUB OFFICERS

Since we have had difficulty in recruiting volunteers to leadership positions, there is a proposal to remove Section 7 of Article 6 of the Bylaws, “No Elective officers shall serve more than 3 consecutive terms in any one office.” Removal of this section would allow Officers of the club to remain in their positions for more than 3 years.

We would like to vote on this before the election of the officers for 2021-2022. 2/3 of the members present at a regular meeting would be needed to pass this following the notification of proposed change. Therefore, we would like to take a vote on this amendment at the next scheduled EOH meeting on June 28.

The Nomination Period for Club Officers is still open. Send your nominations to: eohmail@eyesofhawaii.org. You can nominate yourself if you want to hold a position in the club.

THEME FOR JUNE 2021: "AFTER DARK"

Submit up to 5 pictures or one 8 second video by midnight, Saturday, June 26 to: drostow@gmail.com

Please also include your name on your pictures i.e. or 1 8 second video i.e. ( Joe_Photographer_DSC00352.)
Pictures should be high resolution of at least 2000 pixels wide. Send the pictures in as a email attachment since embedding the picture in the email is not reliable. (Do not use a hotmail account because it reduces picture size).

A Theme Committee has been formed to decide what the monthly or special themes will be. Members are: Eddie Freeman (eddie@eddiefreeman51.com); Lance Wong (dragon0419@yahoo.com); Erick Tsukiyama (erickt72@gmail.com), Clinton Goo (clinton.goo@gmail.com) and Carrie Johnson (clj4209@yahoo.com).

Join Zoom Meeting

THE NEXT EOH MONTHLY MEETING IS ON MONDAY, JUNE 28 AT 7:00PM

Since we are not going to hold our inperson meetings until the pandemic is over, we will be having a Zoom online meetings.

ZOOM BASICS

Try to use your biggest screen for your maximal enjoyment. It can be done on a cell phone or tablet, but a laptop or desktop unit works better. If your computer has a camera then the rest of us can see you, but for this meeting it is not critical. If you want to be seen as you join the meeting click where it says “Join with video”. You will also want to click “Join with audio”.

If you haven’t used Zoom yet, it might be useful to first go to zoom.com and register as a new user. I believe all you have to give is your email and a password, no other private information, and it is free.

At the end of these instructions will be an invitation to join the meeting. All you have to do is click on the link to start the process. In the invitation will be a passcode which you may need to join the meeting. You will get a window that says “Open zoom.us?" and click on that. Again, click on “Join with audio”. You will then go to a “waiting room”, and the host (probably Don Rostow) will let you in.

In the upper right portion of the screen you have a choice of “speaker view” or “gallery view”. For this type of meeting I would choose “speaker view” and the speaker’s picture will fill most of the screen.

If more than one person tries to speak at a time the sound really deteriorates. At the bottom of the screen you can click on “Chat” to type a question or comment that everyone can see. We may also use that to actually vote for officers. Please be sure there are no other sounds going on in your room like barking dogs, screaming grandkids, or a TV, and please silence your cell phones. If you are hi-tech and have a microphone and/or headphones for your computer, use them.
