Hawaii Photo Shooters
On April 11, Ken Jackson will give a presentation on Infra-red photography. Ken shares, "To capture near infrared reflected light with a digital sensor, we need to stop visible light from overexposing the sensor. To do this, we use a visible light blocking filter (usually referred to as an "IR-filter"). In infrared photography, the camera captures scenes illuminated by infrared light. This may be mostly done for artistic and aesthetic effect. Some subjects (e.g., sky, water, foliage, human skin, some dyes and fabrics) will appear different when viewed in infrared light. I will discuss selection of filters for infrared photography, and some aspects of infrared technique."
The meeting will be in person only at the Komohana Research & Extension Center (875 Komohana St., Hilo) . The exact conference room will be announced shortly before April 11 due to re-roofing construction taking place.

What is a Challenge?
The purpose of a Photo Challenge is to share what we do, explain how we do it, and get to view others' works, ideas, and creativity without having to decide "which is best" or "which is most favored." Each member will have one image of his/her choice uploaded to the club's website.
