Something to do on a Rainy Day

If you are like me, you just don’t feel like going out­side with your cam­era on most rainy days.  And your fam­ily might be tired of hav­ing their pic­ture taken all the time.  So if you’re look­ing for some­thing new to take pho­tographs of, why not smoke?

Smoke pho­tog­ra­phy is pretty pop­u­lar these days and pretty easy (and cheap) to do.  Check out this video for some great tips:

Come Join Us on Flickr!

The Topeka Cam­era Club now has a ded­i­cated Flickr group for show­cas­ing our work.  As a TCC mem­ber you may post your pho­tos to the group pool and par­tic­i­pate in dis­cus­sions.  Any­one who is not a TCC mem­ber may visit the group, view the pool pho­tographs, but may not sub­mit pho­tos for the pool.

If you are already a Flickr mem­ber (free or paid, doesn’t mat­ter) you can click on this URL to visit our group:

http://www.flickr.com/groups/topekacameraclub/

Once you are there, sim­ply click the “Join” link to request access.  Flickr will send an email to admins let­ting them know you are here.  After they have approved you, the “Join” link will be replaced with an “Add Some­thing” link which will allow you to add pho­tos from your port­fo­lio to the TCC Group.

If you are NOT a Flickr mem­ber, you can join for free.  Sim­ply visit:

http://www.flickr.com

And click on the link to join.  Flickr is owned by Yahoo!, so if you have a Yahoo! ID, you can sim­ply log in to Flickr using your exist­ing Yahoo! ID. If you do not have a Yahoo! ID, you can choose to cre­ate one, or sign up to Flickr with your email address.

Once you have signed up, sim­ply click on the above link to the TCC Group and join us!

If you don’t know much about Flickr, that’s fine.  At our August meet­ing, new mem­ber Dave Navarro will be giv­ing a demon­stra­tion of the Flickr site. So be sure to come!
