&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;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 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>

      <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;

&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>Multimedia SIG (09/14/2026)</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>Multimedia SIG (11/09/2026)</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;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;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;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 (12/14/2026)</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;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;

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&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;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 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;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;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;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 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 (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;
