September kicks off the new season of the Fargo Moorhead Camera Club with and education night.
We will be discussing night sky photography including shooting the milky way and aurora along with mentions on some other night sky phenomenon, and long exposure photography in general.
The milky way season is waning, but some great shots can still be had and the Aurora Borealis is just beginning. I will also do a short recap of the Gerry Beck Memorial Fly In in Battle Lake Minnesota. A great time was had by all in attendance.
I hope you all can make it out and bring a friend. I look forward to seeing you Thursday night!

October 18th - Storm Chasing with speaker Ryan Mauk
Since age 5, Ryan Mauk has been obsessed with tornadoes. Throughout his life, from as soon as he could legally drive to now, he has tried to see tornadic storms up close, the last few years he has intently studied the meteorology of severe weather and has doven even deeper, traveling hundreds of miles to see tornadoes, with 2015 being the most fruitful to date.
Aside from storm chasing Ryan is a Registered Nurse at a Fargo hospital, so on his days he is always prepared to assist any injured people as a first responder if the unthinkable happens. Other interests of his include filmmaking and music production, in which he is highly accomplished. In 2015 he directed and edited his first full-length full, "Aura" . He brings this knowledge into his film documentary of the weather he encounters and strives to present it as high-quality as possible.
Ryan is married and him and his wife have a son, Lyric, and a daughter on the way.

November 15th - Light Painting with speakers Bruce Danuser & Doug Zinter
Light painting, painting with light, light drawing, or light art performance photography are terms that describe photographic techniques of moving a light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or space, or to shine light at the camera to "draw", or by moving the camera itself during exposure of the light sources. Practiced since the 1880s, the technique is used for both scientific and artistic purpose, as well as in commercial photography.
Hope you can join us for an evening of fun. Please bring along you camera, tripod and cable release.
