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!

THEME FOR APRIL 2021: "FRAME WITHIN A FRAME "

In photography, a frame within a frame is when the photographer uses something within the scene in front of them to frame the main subject. Therefore a second frame is created within the image hence: a frame within a frame.

Submit up to 5 pictures or one 8 second video by midnight, Saturday, April 24 to: kaioahugrown@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). If you have suggestions or comments about the themes, you can email the members directly.

THE NEXT EOH MONTHLY MEETING IS ON MONDAY, APRIL 26 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.
