Here are the topics for the 2008 Summer Photo Contest.  Get out your camera and shoot away.   We hope some of the topics provide a challenge to photograph some things that you normally don't shoot.   We look forward to seeing your photos in September.

Help Needed for “Wild Wednesdays” at the Zoo
LCC will have a table and display at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo every Wednesday evening from 5 PM to 8 PM during the summer. Our primary goal is to make contact with people who are interested in photography and who could be potential new members of the club. We also want to encourage young people to develop an interest in photography.

Volunteers are urgently needed who could spent one or two Wednesday evenings (or even more) during the summer to help with the display.  Please contact Darrell Watts at 488-1667 or Yvonne Nelson at 488-3126 to schedule dates when you can help.

What is HDR?
Well first, it stands for High Dynamic Range. Okay, so what does that mean? It means that when you are taking a photograph with very high contrast of light, where the highlights may "blow out" (be all white with no detail) and the shadows will go black with no detail, you can take three or more bracketed exposures, preferrably in RAW, but can be in JPEG, then open them in an HDR program. The HDR program will merge the images into one photograph with details in the highlights and details in the shadows.

The best part? The program is free! Here's the website where you can get it:
