&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

      <title>Bird/Nature Photography: Santa Rita Lodge at Madera Canyon - Friday 06/26/2026 (06/26/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;Bird/Nature Photography: Santa Rita Lodge at Madera Canyon - Friday 06/26/2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/SR%20Lodge%20Logo.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="289" height="250" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Trip Cost: $10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Madera Canyon is a rich, protected habitat that provides an ideal breeding ground for about 200 species of birds. Birders from all over the world come to view rare species such as Elegant Trogon, Painted Redstart, and up to 15 species of hummingbirds. Elf Owls and Whiskered Screech Owls call Madera Canyon home in the migrating months.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;At an elevation of 5,000 feet, Santa Rita Lodge is more than 10 degrees cooler than Tucson on any given day. Near the Lodge’s main parking lot is the ‘Wildlife Area’ with varied feeders - seed feeders, platform feeders, nectar, and suet - to attract the greatest variety of birds. There’s also a water feature that's not only popular among canyon birds, but also deer, coati, and ring-tailed cats.&amp;nbsp;The Lodge provides sitting areas for visitors to view the birds and enjoy the wonderful surroundings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Lodge’s gift shop offers a selection of books, T-shirts, hats, hummingbird feeders, and a variety of souvenirs. They also offer refreshments, sandwiches, and snacks.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We’ll meet at the Photography Club at 6:30 AM for departure at 6:45&amp;nbsp;AM.&amp;nbsp; Please wear your GVR Photography or Camera Club badge, if you have one. For those carpooling, $5.00 is an appropriate amount to reimburse your driver.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. A hat, sunscreen and water are suggested. If you have binoculars, you may want to bring them along. A small notebook and pen or pencil would be useful to record your sightings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Following the trip, you are welcome to join us for a no-host lunch at&lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href="https://tacogiro.com/"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Taco Giro&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;located at the Green Valley Country Club, 77 East Paseo de Golf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;GVR requires that every person participating in the club's field trips must sign a waiver absolving GVR of any liability.&amp;nbsp; You will be required to sign the waiver at the Photography club before the trip departs if you haven't already done so.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;The last date to cancel for a refund is June 19, 2026.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you need to cancel, please contact the Field Trip Co-Chair Lynn Rozema at (719) 351-5193 or email&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="mailto:lrozema51@gmail.com"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lrozema51@gmail.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We may have people on the wait list to take your place.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you have to cancel on the day of the trip, please call Darrell as soon as you know you cannot make the trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;NOTICE:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;All participants need to be responsible for an assessment of their mobility and health issues relating to field trips. Some trips may not be appropriate, but you must make that determination. However, the trip leader may deny participation in a specific field trip to anyone deemed not suitably prepared or able to walk with the group.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be sure to have your GVR card with you for each and every field trip&lt;/strong&gt;. Without it, you won't be allowed to go on the trip. No refunds will be granted for failure to comply with this requirement. &amp;nbsp;To protect GVR and club member benefits, GVR has implemented a new process that requires each field trip participant to come into the club and scan his/her GVR card to confirm eligibility. We no longer have the option of typing in your name or GVR number – &lt;strong&gt;only the physical GVR card will do&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We will no longer meet in the parking lot. &lt;strong&gt;We will meet in the GVR Photography Club where you will scan your GVR card confirming your eligibility to go on the trip.&lt;/strong&gt; We’ll also review important/late-breaking information, pair up drivers and riders, provide driving directions, and give participants a chance to visit the restrooms prior to departure. Again, be sure to have your GVR card with you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset with the Bats Season Opener - Tuesday 06/30/2026 (06/30/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;Sunset with the Bats Season Opener - Tuesday 06/30/2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Bat%20Photo.JPG" alt="" title="" border="1" width="237" height="164" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px 4px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Trip Cost: $10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us at sunset as we watch hundreds, if not thousands, of bats come out of their man-made roosts to feed!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Compared to other places, we have many bat species living in and around Tucson. The most common are the Mexican free-tailed bats. Those roost in the thousands, and 99.9% of the time, if you guessed you saw a Mexican free-tailed bat fly out from beneath a bridge, you’d be correct.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The large roosts we see under the bridges are maternity roosts. The females arrive here in April already pregnant. Over the summer, the females give birth to their young – one pup per female in June or July. In the fall, usually around September, they fly back to Mexico with their offspring. In the meantime, the females and their pups come out around dusk to eat. With the sunset as a natural backdrop, it’s an amazing sight to see. And we’ll be checking them out within minutes of Green Valley.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;We’ll meet at the Photography Club at 6:15 PM for carpooling, departing at 6:45 PM.&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Comfortable shoes, water, insect repellant, a tripod and a folding chair are suggested.&lt;/font&gt; Please wear your GVR Photography Club or Camera Club badge, if available. For those carpooling,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$2.00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;is&amp;nbsp;an appropriate contribution&amp;nbsp;to the driver. We should arrive at the viewing site -- the Elephant Head Road bridge over the Santa Cruz River -- by 7:00 PM.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Upon arrival, you’ll have time to set up and get ready for nature’s amazing show. We never know precisely when the bats will start heading out, so we’ll be sure to get there in ample time. The tour should end shortly after dusk.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Tom Parker will be our trip leader. Contact Tom at&amp;nbsp;618-304-1456&amp;nbsp;or email at tparker324@aol.com with any questions.&amp;nbsp;He will be disseminating more information to registered participants via e-mail as we get closer to the event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Please add your trip leader's email and phone number to your contact list so you don't miss out on any important updates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Mini Time Machine of Miniatures – Thursday 07/09/2026 (07/09/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h2 style="background-color: transparent;" align="left"&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="eventDetailsHeader_eventTitle"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;- Thursday 07/09/2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/Miniature%20Museum.png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="214" height="83" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 3px 8px 8px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Trip Cost: $18&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Please&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;sign up no later than July 5th so we can finalize our group reservation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures&amp;nbsp;is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing and advancing the art of miniatures for all. The museum is a leading institution that celebrates, inspires, and connects people with miniatures. The concept of “the mini time machine” was born out of the notion that a visitor would be seemingly transported to different eras by the stories and history of the pieces in the collection.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;The permanent collection at the museum includes more than 500 dollhouses and room boxes, with each one containing dozens if not hundreds of miniature objects. Learn more about the museum&lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href="https://theminitimemachine.org/"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;here&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We’ll meet at the Photography Club at 8:30 AM for departure at 9:00 AM. Please wear your GVR Photography Club or GVR Camera Club nametag if you have one.&amp;nbsp;For those carpooling, $5.00 is an appropriate contribution to the driver.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;At the museum, a docent will guide us through the highlights of the museum’s extensive collection and bring the various displays to life. The docent-led tour should last 45 minutes to an hour, after which you’ll have about two hours to explore the museum on your own. Use of tripods and monopods is allowed, but flash photography is not permitted in the museum.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Following the tour, participants are invited to an optional, no-host brunch at&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.snoozeeatery.com/"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Snooze - Breakfast Restaurant&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;located at 2500 East Grant Road, Suite 182 in Tucson at 1:15 PM. The trip will conclude around 2:30 PM and we should be back in Green Valley around 3:30 PM.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Tom Parker will be our trip leader. Contact Tom at 618-304-1456 or&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:tparker324@aol.com"&gt;&lt;font color="#009CFF" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;tparker324@aol.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;with any questions. He will be disseminating more information to registered participants via e-mail as we get closer to the event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Please add your trip leader's email and phone number to your contact list so you don't miss out on any important updates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;GVR requires that every person participating in the club's field trips must sign a waiver absolving GVR of any liability.&amp;nbsp; You will be required to sign the waiver at the Photography club before the trip departs if you haven't already done so.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;The last date to cancel for a refund is July 2, 2026.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you need to cancel, please contact the Field Trip Co-Chair Lynn Rozema at 719-351-5193 or email&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="mailto:lrozema51@gmail.com"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lrozema51@gmail.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We may have people on the wait list to take your place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you have to cancel on the day of the trip, please call Tom as soon as you know you cannot make the trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;NOTICE:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;All participants need to be responsible for an assessment of their mobility and health issues relating to field trips. Some trips may not be appropriate, but you must make that determination. However, the trip leader may deny participation in a specific field trip to anyone deemed not suitably prepared or able to walk with the group.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be sure to have your GVR card with you for each and every field trip&lt;/strong&gt;. Without it, you won't be allowed to go on the trip. No refunds will be granted for failure to comply with this requirement. &amp;nbsp;To protect GVR and club member benefits, GVR has implemented a new process that requires each field trip participant to come into the club and scan his/her GVR card to confirm eligibility. We no longer have the option of typing in your name or GVR number – &lt;strong&gt;only the physical GVR card will do&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We will no longer meet in the parking lot. &lt;strong&gt;We will meet in the GVR Photography Club where you will scan your GVR card confirming your eligibility to go on the trip.&lt;/strong&gt; We’ll also review important/late-breaking information, pair up drivers and riders, provide driving directions, and give participants a chance to visit the restrooms prior to departure. Again, be sure to have your GVR card with you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;In order to participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Our discussions might cover photographic techniques, editing software, cameras and equipment or where to go to get a great shot. We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

      <title>Multimedia SIG (07/20/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset with the Bats - Broadway Blvd Bridge - Friday 07/24/2026 (07/24/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;Sunset with the Bats - Broadway Blvd Bridge - Friday 07/24/2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Bat%20Photo.JPG" alt="" title="" border="1" width="243" height="169" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px 4px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Trip Cost: $10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us at sunset as we watch thousands of bats come out of their man-made roosts below the East Broadway Boulevard Bridge in Tucson to feed!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Compared to other places, we have many bat species living in and around Tucson. The most common are the Mexican free-tailed bats. Those roost in the thousands, and 99.9% of the time, if you guessed you saw a Mexican free-tailed bat fly out from beneath a bridge, you’d be correct.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The large roosts we see under the bridges are maternity roosts. The females arrive here in April already pregnant. Over the summer, the females give birth to their young – one pup per female in June or July. In the fall, usually around September, they fly back to Mexico with their offspring. In the meantime, the females and their pups come out around dusk to eat. With the sunset as a natural backdrop, it’s an amazing sight to see. And the Broadway Bridge is one of the region's most popular viewing spots.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We’ll meet at the Photography Club at 3:45 PM for carpooling, departing at 4:15 PM.&amp;nbsp;Comfortable shoes, water, a tripod and a folding chair are suggested. Please wear your GVR Photography Club or Camera Club badge, if available. For those carpooling, $2.00 is&amp;nbsp;an appropriate contribution&amp;nbsp;to the driver.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;We’ll stop first at Little Anthony's Diner located at 7010 East Broadway Boulevard in Tucson for an optional no-host dinner. Check out their menu&lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.littleanthonysdiner.com/menu"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;here&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;. Who knows, you may even catch sight of Elvis and Marilyn while we're dining.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We’ll depart Little Anthony's by 6:30 PM for the short drive to the Broadway Boulevard Bridge, which is conveniently located near the Hilton Tucson East Parking Lot (7600 East Broadway Boulevard). Upon arrival, you’ll have time to set up and get ready for nature’s amazing show. We never know precisely when the bats will start heading out, so we’ll be sure to get there in ample time. The “show” should end shortly after dusk, at which time we’ll head back to Green Valley.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div align="justify"&gt;
  &lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Tom Parker will be our trip leader. Contact Tom at&amp;nbsp;618-304-1456&amp;nbsp;or email at &lt;a href="mailto:tparker324@aol.com" target="_blank"&gt;tparker324@aol.com&lt;/a&gt; with any questions.&amp;nbsp;He will be disseminating more information to registered participants via e-mail as we get closer to the event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Please add your trip leader's email and phone number to your contact list so you don't miss out on any important updates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;GVR requires that every person participating in the club's field trips must sign a waiver absolving GVR of any liability.&amp;nbsp; You will be required to sign the waiver at the Photography club before the trip departs if you haven't already done so.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;The last date to cancel for a refund is July 17, 2026.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you need to cancel, please contact the Field Trip Co-Chair Lynn Rozema at 719-351-5193 or email&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="mailto:lrozema51@gmail.com"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lrozema51@gmail.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We may have people on the wait list to take your place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If you have to cancel on the day of the trip, please call Tom as soon as you know you cannot make the trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 16px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;NOTICE:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;All participants need to be responsible for an assessment of their mobility and health issues relating to field trips. Some trips may not be appropriate, but you must make that determination. However, the trip leader may deny participation in a specific field trip to anyone deemed not suitably prepared or able to walk with the group.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be sure to have your GVR card with you for each and every field trip&lt;/strong&gt;. Without it, you won't be allowed to go on the trip. No refunds will be granted for failure to comply with this requirement. &amp;nbsp;To protect GVR and club member benefits, GVR has implemented a new process that requires each field trip participant to come into the club and scan his/her GVR card to confirm eligibility. We no longer have the option of typing in your name or GVR number – &lt;strong&gt;only the physical GVR card will do&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We will no longer meet in the parking lot. &lt;strong&gt;We will meet in the GVR Photography Club where you will scan your GVR card confirming your eligibility to go on the trip.&lt;/strong&gt; We’ll also review important/late-breaking information, pair up drivers and riders, provide driving directions, and give participants a chance to visit the restrooms prior to departure. Again, be sure to have your GVR card with you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;In order to participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Our discussions might cover photographic techniques, editing software, cameras and equipment or where to go to get a great shot. We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun! Learn from your fellow club members in a friendly supportive environment. And don't forget to bring some photos to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Learn from your fellow club members in a friendly supportive environment. And don't forget to bring some photos to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Our discussions might cover photographic techniques, editing software, cameras and equipment or where to go to get a great shot. We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun! Learn from your fellow club members in a friendly supportive environment. And don't forget to bring some photos to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun! Learn from your fellow club members in a friendly supportive environment. And don't forget to bring some photos to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Our discussions might cover photographic techniques, editing software, cameras and equipment or where to go to get a great shot. We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun! Learn from your fellow club members in a friendly supportive environment. And don't forget to bring some photos to share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Multimedia SIG (11/23/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In order to participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.003.IMG_3994.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo.

      <title>Multimedia SIG (11/30/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In order to participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Multimedia SIG (12/07/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In order to participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Black and White SIG (12/08/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 style="line-height: 16px;" class="contStylePageTitle" align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;Black &amp;amp; White SIG - Tuesdays @ 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.003.IMG_3994.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.003.IMG_3994.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

      <title>Multimedia SIG (01/04/2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In order to participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.003.IMG_3994.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Multimedia SIG (02/01/2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.003.IMG_3994.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Come join us for some fun!

      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Multimedia SIG (03/01/2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.003.IMG_3994.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Multimedia SIG (04/26/2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Multimedia SIG&amp;nbsp; &lt;font style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;- Mondays at 10 am&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_4963.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin May and Todd Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;, Moderators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Multimedia Special Interest Group meets in the Large Classroom at the GVR Photography Club in the Santa Rita Springs Social Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During Winter (November through April) we will meet every Monday in the Large Classroom.&amp;nbsp;There will be no Zoom for these Multimedia SIG meetings, however, meetings will be recorded and placed on our YouTube channel following the meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the Summer months (May through October) we will move to an every other Monday schedule. There will be no Zoom and no YouTube recordings for these meetings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A typical Multimedia SIG meeting lasts about one hour and members can share videos they have put together and get feedback and constructive suggestions on ways they can improve their videos. The group also helps work on issues that members might have with various image and video editing software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Besides all of that, we also have a lot of fun and laughs, so please join us!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In order to participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.003.IMG_3994.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator&lt;/strong&gt;: Wendell Werner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Ansel Adams Room&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date/Time&lt;/strong&gt;: Tuesdays at 9:30 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;There will be NO SCHEDULED ZOOM meetings for these sessions, so come on out to the Club and join us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/ww.004.Cincinatti%20Bridge%202.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="150" height="113" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px;"&gt;The Black &amp;amp; White Special Interest Group is a&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;meeting of those club members who enjoy the sp&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;ecial qualities of black &amp;amp; white (or more generally called “monochrome”) photography. Members bring their images for viewing a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;nd comments by the group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discussions on editing techniques, as well as on composition and lighting are also a part of the meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The question might be asked “Why are we interested in black and white images when even the basic point and shoot digital cameras can produce very good color photographs?”&amp;nbsp; The answer is: there are some images which have more visual impact when rendered in black and white. These images are those which use the interplay between light and shadows to emphasize texture or shapes within the composition. An example is shown above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Typically, the photographs shown at our SIG have been produced as color images in a digital camera and converted to black and white using one or more of the popular photo editing software packages.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Our group ranges from highly skilled photographers to beginners shopping for a camera.&amp;nbsp; Most of us fall somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Some photos are straight out of the camera while other pics have been edited with great skill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We suggest bringing about 5 photos you have taken, on a USB drive in a JPEG format. We ask that you tell the group if you have taken a photo in the wild or at the zoo. The group would also like to know how much editing was done to the photo being shown. You are not required to show photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
