      <description>&lt;h2 align="left" style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oracle State Park&amp;nbsp;with Ranger Michael -- Thursday 4/9/2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2 align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/boyce-thompson-arboretum.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="163" height="116" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 8px 8px 8px 0px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Cost:&amp;nbsp; $10 (State Park Annual Fee) for one person or $20 for 2-4 people in the vehicle and $10.00 for the driver if you are carpooling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 align="left" style="margin-top: 0px !important; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Oracle State Park is a beautiful 4,000-acre wildlife refuge located in the northern foothills of the Catalina Mountains in Arizona. It offers a variety of activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails. The park is also a designated International Dark Sky Park, making it an excellent spot for stargazing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The park features over 15 miles of trails, including a selection of the Arizona Trail. It also serves as a Center for Environmental Education, offering a selection of interactive programs. The historic Kannally Ranch House, located within the park, provides a glimpse into the area's history.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Ranger Michael Bain will begin the tour with a 30-minute presentation/demonstration where he will go over settings &amp;amp; techniques for landscape &amp;amp; wildlife photography. Then we will hike a 1.2-mile nature trail, making stops along the way to practice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The park's diverse habitats, ranging from oak-woodland to desert grassland, supports a rich variety of wildlife. You can encounter various mammals, such as Coues white-tailed deer, Bobcats, Javelinas, Gray foxes, Cottontail rabbits, Coyotes and Mountain lions (occasionally).&amp;nbsp; Birders will enjoy Scrub jays, Gambel’s quail, Great horned owls, Cooper’s hawks, Red-tailed hawks, Harris’s hawks, Gila woodpeckers, Hooded orioles and many others, depending on the time of the year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Binoculars are a must if you don't have a long lens. A small notebook and pen or pencil would be useful to record your sightings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Be sure to wear comfortable clothes, hat and shoes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Participants need to be comfortable walking on a trail hike of mostly flat to slightly uneven terrain with rolling hills.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Bring water&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;
  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Bring your lunch so you can spend as much time as you want observing birds or enjoying the interactive programs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;For those wanting to top the day off at a local restaurant, we will be dining at the Ore House Hilltop Tavern.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Meet at the Photography Club lobby at 8:30 AM for carpooling.&amp;nbsp; If you are going to carpool with someone, a minimum donation for gas should be $10.00 (168-mile round trip). We will &lt;em&gt;leave promptly&lt;/em&gt; at 8:45 for Oracle State Park.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;GVR requires that every person participating in Photography Club Field Trips must sign a one-time waiver absolving GVR of any liability. You may sign the waiver at the Photography Club or the morning of the trip, if you have not completed one already.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Elvira Bayless will be our leader and Ranger Michael will be our guide. &amp;nbsp;For questions, email Elvira at &lt;a href="mailto:eabayless@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;eabayless@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;. If you must cancel on the morning of the trip, call Elvira at 541-480-9388 so we won't be waiting for you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;If you need to cancel, please contact Lynn Rozema, Field Trip Coordinator at 719-351-5193 or email at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:lrozema51@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;lrozema51@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as soon as know you cannot attend.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;On the day of the trip, contact Lynn so we have time to contact people on the wait list to take your place.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;NOTICE:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;This is a walking tour that lasts about 2-3 hours.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=""&gt;All participants need to be responsible for an assessment of their mobility and health issues relating to field trips.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=""&gt;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;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&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 –&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;only the physical GVR card will do&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;We will no longer meet in the parking lot.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;We will meet in the GVR Photography Club&amp;nbsp;where you will scan your GVR card confirming your eligibility to go on the trip.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;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.&amp;nbsp;Again, be sure to have your GVR card with you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;The club strives to provide several field trips specifically designed for members with physical limitations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Multimedia SIG (04/13/2026)</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;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>

&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;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 align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Come join us as we learn how to get good photos of our wonderful Arizona, and other states, night skies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/Tucson%20Desert%20Art%20Museum%20Logo%20v2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 5px 5px 1px 0px;" width="231" height="77" align="left"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Trip Cost: $15&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#838383"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Note: Deadline to register is April 14, 2026.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#838383"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Since opening their doors in 2013, the mission of the Tucson Desert Art Museum has been to educate their guests about the rich history, diverse cultures, and vibrant art of the region.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;At the heart of the collection lies one of the Southwest’s premier collections of Navajo and Hopi pre-1940s textiles, showcasing chiefs' blankets, Navajo saddle blankets, optical art textiles, and Yei weavings. They also house a diverse range of historical artifacts, and classic as well as contemporary Southwestern paintings, including works by renowned artists such as Maynard Dixon, Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt, Gerald Cassidy, Ed Mell, Ray Roberts, Peter Nisbet, and Howard Post.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The museum features rotating special exhibitions that change annually, ensuring that each visit offers a new and engaging experience. From exhibits on Navajo Sand Painting to early armaments of the Southwest and artifacts from the Mesoamerican period, the collection offers a unique and eclectic array of Southwestern art and artifacts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Learn more about the Tucson Desert Art Museum &lt;a href="https://www.tucsondart.org/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, 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="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, 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, after which you’ll have about an hour to explore the museum on your own. Use of tripods and monopods is allowed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Following the museum visit, participants are invited to an optional, no-host lunch at the &lt;a href="https://canyonscrown.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Canyon's Crown Restaurant and Pub&lt;/a&gt; located at&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;6958 East Tanque Verde Road in Tucson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;. The trip will conclude around 1:30 PM and we should be back in Green Valley around 3:00 PM.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Sue and Charles Ready will be our trip leaders. Contact Sue at 612-240-2818 or &lt;a href="mailto:suready@yahoo.com" target="_blank"&gt;suready@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;with any questions. She will be disseminating more information to registered participants via e-mail as we get closer to the event.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;GVR requires that every person participating in Photography Club Field Trips must sign a waiver prior to departure absolving GVR of any liability. You may sign the waiver any time at the Club or the morning of the field trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style=""&gt;If you need to cancel, please contact the Field Trip Co-Chair Lynn Rozema at 719-351-5193 or email&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:lrozema51@gmail.com" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#009CFF"&gt;lrozema51@gmail.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We may have people on the wait list to take your place.&amp;nbsp; On the morning of the trip, please call Sue and Lynn as soon as you know you cannot make the trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;Last day to cancel for a refund is April 15, 2026.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; 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 style="background-color: transparent;"&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 style="background-color: transparent;"&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 –&amp;nbsp;&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 style="background-color: transparent;"&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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;We will meet in the GVR Photography Club&amp;nbsp;where you will scan your GVR card confirming your eligibility to go on the trip.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;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.&amp;nbsp;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 style="background-color: transparent;"&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>

      <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;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 (05/11/2026)</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>Birding/Nature: Crested Caracara Nesting Site by Denise LeCount-O'Brien 05/12/2026 (05/12/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Birding/Nature:&amp;nbsp; Crested Caracara Nesting Site by Denise LeCount O'Brien - Tuesday 05/12/2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://gvrphotographyclub.org/resources/Pictures/A%20Caracara%20mother%20watches%20the%20sky%20for%20her%20mate%20to%20fly%20in%20with%20dinner%201368%20copy.jpg" alt="" title="" border="3" width="256" height="206" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 13px 8px 4px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Cost: $10&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font&gt;You must register to attend. This trip will be limited to three vehicles only and each vehicle &lt;span&gt;must&lt;/span&gt; be an SUV.&amp;nbsp; It is not suited for cars.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Photographers need to have at least&amp;nbsp;a 400 mm lens, a lawn chair, and water. There is NO shade and there are NO restrooms. No maps will be given out for this location until the morning of the trip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A hat and water are required!&amp;nbsp; The group will go out for a late breakfast/lunch afterwards so you can spend as much time as you want observing birds and activities. Expected return to Green Valley is 1:30 PM.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Denise LeCount-O'Brien will be leading this trip.&amp;nbsp; Please contact Denise at (309) 830-0177 or email her at &lt;a href="mailto:rurt2dede@gamil.com" target="_blank"&gt;rurt2dede@gamil.com&lt;/a&gt; if you have any questions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;You must meet at the Photography Club&lt;/u&gt; at 7:00 AM for carpooling.&amp;nbsp; We will leave for our location at 7:15 AM.&amp;nbsp; A $15.00 donation is appropriate to give the driver if you are carpooling.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;GVR requires that every person participating in Photography Club Field Trips must sign a one-time waiver prior to departure absolving GVR of any liability.&amp;nbsp; You may sign the waiver at the Photography Club or the morning of the trip, if you haven't completed one already.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;If you need to cancel, please contact the Field Trip Co-Chair Lynn Rozema at 719-351-5193 or email&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:lrozema51@gmail.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#009CFF"&gt;lrozema51@gmail.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We may have people on the wait list to take your place.&amp;nbsp; On the morning of the trip, please call Denise and Lynn as soon as you know you cannot make the trip.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;Last day to cancel for a refund is May 5, 2026.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;NOTICE:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&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 –&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;only the physical GVR card will do&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;We will no longer meet in the parking lot.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;We will meet in the GVR Photography Club&amp;nbsp;where you will scan your GVR card confirming your eligibility to go on the trip.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;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.&amp;nbsp;Again, be sure to have your GVR card with you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, 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;/font&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;The club strives to provide several field trips specifically designed for members with physical limitations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In order to participate in this event, you must be a member of the GVR Photography Club and GVR.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Multimedia SIG (06/08/2026)</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>

      <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;

      <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;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;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;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;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;

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>

&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>

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 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>

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 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;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;&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;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;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;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;

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;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;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;

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>

&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>
