APRIL 26 - Duane Gillette
Theme: Using Light -- Natural or Artificial -- to Create a Mood
Theme: Using Light -- Natural or Artificial -- to Create a Mood
Duane Gillette was born in Southern California but spent the majority of his life in Northern California where he has been a commercial and architectural photographer for more than 20 years, currently as Red Tail Photography. Under the name of Duane Gillette Photography, his work was featured in national and international publications along with several magazine covers.
He discovered a passion for architectural and commercial/advertising photography while attending photography college in the 1980s -- a time when everything was being shot on large format film. "The change to digital opened up unlimited possibilities," including 'the ability to preview images as they are being taken, then adjust, manipulate and combine images in post production has expanded the creative possibilities..."
As he describes it, "I've always enjoyed photographing the beauty around me on. Whether it is waves crashing on the rocks or the beautiful lines of a well designed building. As a commercial photographer, most of my work is in the construction, industrial and manufacturing industries. I love the challenge of creating visually interesting images for industries that most do not consider glamorous."

ABOUT THE NEW MEETING FORMAT
The general meetings continue to be Zoom meetings and members are encouraged to contact Roland Dumas at radumas@servqual.com or Phil Venable at philven@comcast.net with any questions about Zoom or for assistance with setting it up.
To request a link to the general meeting send an email to:
meetings.nvps@imagineworks.com
For most months, the link to the meetings and a calendar download will be in that month's newsletter sent out to members by Lanny Johnson so that members can place the reminders and links in their computer/phone calendars. However, these links are for members' use only. They are NOT to be shared or posted to anyone else!
RULES
We are setting the rules on “easy” because we’re a small group and don’t have much risk of someone causing problems, but do pay attention to these rules:
A gentle reminder: if you need to use the bathroom, DO NOT take your device with you. Please!
DATES
Napa Valley Photographic Society's next scheduled Zoom meeting will be April 26 at 7 p.m.
Subsequent Zoom meetings are planned every fourth Monday of the month at 7 p.m. until we are able to meet in person.

RULES
We are setting the rules on “easy” because we’re a small group and don’t have much risk of someone causing problems, but do pay attention to these rules:
- Do not forward or post the meeting link to anyone at all. If you wish to invite a guest, pass that person’s email to Roland or Phil and we’ll send a one-meeting invitation to them.
- When the meeting starts, set your status as “mute” - that will stop the crosstalk and inadvertent sounds from making things noisy. Only one person can speak at a time.
- If you wish to speak, physically put up your hand and the person leading the discussion will recognize you. Then unmute yourself to ask your question. After that, back onto mute.
- There is a chat function. Find it. When there is a presenter, you can ask your questions during his/her presentation, and the presenter can see it. Your question might be answered immediately or at the end of the presentation, at the presenter’s discretion.
- You can also use the chat function to send a message privately to an individual in the meeting. That’s the same as leaning over and whispering to the person next to you. Just make sure the message is to one person and not the whole group so you don’t embarrass yourself.
A gentle reminder: if you need to use the bathroom, DO NOT take your device with you. Please!
