June 25, 2016
Time: 9:30 AM
Presenter: Levi Keim
Levi Keim is an award winning photographer/artist, from Beach City Ohio, and has been taking pictures for over 60 years. Fascinated by living things in his rural surroundings, Levi began taking pictures with a box camera when he was a teenager. His passion continued as he sharpened his skills through photography seminars and years of independent work to the extent that a raindrop in his work could perfectly mirror the beauty around it. Some of his favorite locations to set up his tripod are the Wilderness Center in Wilmont, Hocking Hills, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park. His subjects extend far beyond flora and fauna in Ohio. Some of his most beautiful work is from the Rocky Mountain States; South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, and Arizona. From a Kodak box camera to 35mm slides, to digital equipment today, technology has changed and Levi has moved with the times. At the age of 77 he continues to broaden his horizons taking classes now in oil painting. Levi Keim is an inspiration and a reminder to all creative people to press on with their dreams. He is also remembered as being one of the founding members of the TWC photography club.

July 23, 2016
Time: 9:30 AM
Presenter: Dave Black (by video)
Subject: Light Painting
The subject of our program for the morning will be “Light Painting.” Photographer, Dave Black will be presenting his wonderful knowledge of this technique that I think you will find to be a fun endeavor to try. He will first tell us about the very simple things that are needed to be successful and will then proceed to show us techniques to get us started by using simple techniques while doing “close-up” photography. He will then proceed to show us how he does “Light Painting” while shooting in the landscape.
I’m sure that after seeing the presentation you will be wanting to try out this fun technique yourself!
Shooting Topic: Wildflowers
Refreshments: Please call VP-Lisa Lee at 330-844-6404 if you are willing to provide the refreshments.

Shooting Topic: Comical Nature
Refreshments: Linda Stevens
2017 TWC Nature Photo Club Calendar Selections.
Please follow these guidelines when preparing your entries.
1) Each member may submit up to 6 photos for each season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall)
You may have some photos that will fit more than one category. If you do place in in each folder.
2) Note: These must be in a landscape layout.
3) The photos can be in a 6x4 or a 4x5 format.
4) The image file (jpg) must be large enough to print an 8x10 or equivalent size photo and should be at least 240 dpi.
I would think the file size should be at least 2 or 3 megabytes (MB).
If you see the size of the file is measured as kilobytes (ex: 800 kbs),
it is probably too small to print a quality calendar size photo.
5) Please place your entries in 4 folders labeled Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.
Place these four folders into another folder titled: “Your Name”/Calendar
Place this folder onto a flash drive.
6) Title each photo with your last name and a number
Note: I hope to have the TWCNPC Calendar available by the November meeting,
therefore we will be taking orders at this meeting.
The price of the TWCNPC Calendar is $15.00.
