MemberThere will be the inaugural meeting of the photography club in Bookworm on the 25 October at 7pm.
At the meeting I am hoping that we can agree how the group should operate. It looks likely that we will meet fortnightly.
I hope that you can make it, please reply to this thread or email me at cdjohnson12[at]hotmail[dot]com.

MemberHoping to make it. Just working with a point and shoot, but will bring my film camera back from Christmas break. Any idea where to buy/develop film here in the ‘Du?

MemberI am a recent arrival here in Chengdu, but have managed to find a good place to get my film developed. It’s pretty difficult to find, but I can supply details if you want to know. Also interested in the photo club. Will make contact when time permits.

KeymasterQuote:I was there, nobody showed up except Charlie and Dan…Where was the organizer???Bookworm was super packed at 7pm, I think there’s a good chance they were there and we missed them. Also I didn’t see you until quarter past 8, perhaps they left?
Either way, we had a good conversation with Dan about underwater photography, Jiuzhaigou, and teaching black and white photography at Luxe Hills.
This is the Canon 1dx that was announced recently that we were talking about: Canon 1D X

MemberHa! we were all there, we were the big group in the back of the library section that had the projector. there were maybe 20 of us all at a big table. to summarize the meeting, we are now the “Chengdu Photography Club” (CPC), next meeting at the Bookworm Nov. 22nd. The project is to bring three photos in the theme “Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral” (up to your own interpretation, could be just three different genres, different exposures, or examples of “animals, veg, and minerals”). They can be from pictures you’ve shot before, but try to make them with/from China. We’re setting up a Yahoo! Group and will have a mailing list (details will follow). The photos will be compiled and shown at the meeting, with critique by the group. For this first time, we’re all going on independent shoots (unless you want to go out with other people, then you organize it yourselves). But the idea is that in the future, we’ll organize outings/”photo shoots” to go as groups, and photo challenges. Email me with any questions: [email protected]. I have the organizer’s email as well, which I can give you via PM/email.
Cheers,
-Peter

MemberThanks Peter for that summary. Good to see so many people, if you didn’t make it this time, you are welcome on the 22nd.
I think that I may know of Dan that Charlie refers to, (the underwater bit gave it away), sorry we missed you.

KeymasterDamnit, that was you guys on the projector. We were sitting right there around 8:30. We all got there late.
Great that there’s a subject for the next one though.

ParticipantI got there right around 7, but as Charlie said it was really packed. I walked through and didn’t see a group that screamed “Photography Club” and decided since I was soaking wet from the walk over I’d just head on home.
