1. Live View / Focus Stacking Workshop
   • Calendar: Wasatch Camera Club - Calendar
   • Start time: 06:30pm

   • In this Workshop we’ll cover the topics of using Live View and Focus Stacking. The first half will be presented by club president, Keith Hill and the second half will be presented by club member Dick Pick.

     Squeezing the Most Out of Live View
     A large number of digital SLRs have a truly powerful feature called Live View. These cameras are equipped with an LCD screen on the back of the camera that allows photographers to see live where the camera is aimed and much more. This feature provides numerous aids and advantages that many photographers may overlook in day-to-day shooting. However, used to the fullest, Live View can speed you up and raise your effectiveness in the field.

     The presentation will center on a Canon 5D Mk II, but other Canon cameras and mid to upper range Nikons and other brands offer similar, if not exact feature sets. If you plan to attend, it’s recommended you familiarize yourself with your camera’s Live View features and settings. Also, bring it with you to the meeting. We won’t have time to cover every question, but you may make some valuable personal discoveries in the meeting.

     Focus Stacking
     Club member, Dick Pick does a great deal of slot canyon photography. The very tight dimensions make sharp focus from near walls to far ends of the canyon a true challenge. Dick uses focus stacking to keep his image sharp edge-to-edge and he’ll share how he does it and show some great examples in the second half of the meeting.

     Of course, focus stacking isn’t only reserved for slot canyons. If you like strong foreground objects in your landscapes this workshop is relevant as well.

1. Albion Basin Wildflower Field Trip
   • Calendar: Wasatch Camera Club - Calendar
   • Start time: 06:00pm

   • Want to beat the sizzling summer heat while hanging out with your compadres of the Wasatch Camera Club? Then you should join us for an evening of delightfully cool mountain breezes as we stroll through the alpine woods and meadows of the Albion Basin at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon.

     We'll be hiking on the Albion Meadows trail, it has a rather moderate elevation gain that rambles past a ski lift or two, through some woods, and then to a striking meadow that is a Shangri-La for mountain wildflowers. We'll begin our hike at the parking lot that surrounds the information booth pictured here, it is just east of the Snowpine Lodge as you stay on the main road, as you go past the Alta ski area.

     Be reminded that the temperatures may be considerably cooler at this elevation, the day I scouted this trail the temp in the valley was 95 while at the trailhead it was 67 - the cool breeze was delightful mind you. Bring all your favorite photographic gear, and a long lens if you fancy yourself as a wildlife photographer - there's as much fauna as there is flora.
