    Our final meeting was on the same night we normally would meet (Thursday, June 17, at 6:30 p.m.), but at a wine tasting warehouse. Instead of a photography presenter we tasted 7 different wines and ate grilled brats and other goodies.  The club provided the brats and condiments, the wine tasting was covered by a small fee, and members could purchase wines directly from the owner at a substantial discount.

    Some photos of the location:

    “It isn’t necessary to wait for a severe storm warning to shoot this topic, but it might help! Just look for a disturbance in the atmosphere marked by wind and usually by rain, snow, hail, sleet, or thunder and lightening. Becoming a storm chaser is not recommended.”

    “The challenge for this “Mystery” topic is to capture an image which shows or clearly suggests what Minnesota life outside is or can be like during one of our winters — either desirable or undesirable!  Consider this a photojournalism assignment, perhaps to illustrate a newspaper or magazine article.  It can be serious or humorous but a person or persons must be somewhere in the image and the image must illustrate or imply something about our lives: activities that we do or challenges we face during the warm absence of summer.”

Water, windows, mirrors or any reflective surface can alter a straightforward image into something richer or more artistic. Using reflections could take your photographic skills to the next level.”

The possibilities  are endless: a winding road along a river or through a forest of trees, a road shrouded in fog or covered with snow, or the brilliant colors of a setting sun highlighting the road and it surroundings. Time to head out of the city.“
