Welcome to the revamped Raleigh PUG. Elizabeth and I have decided to make radical changes to our PUG and see if we can revitalize this community. We know everyone is pressed for time and given the number of groups – ISES, NACE, PPANC and WPS, to name a few – that require our involvement, PUG is turning into just another obligation. Finding the time to attend meetings is more and more difficult for our members.
We have heard you loud and clear.
So for the rest of this year we are going to do a series of photo challenges on the Raleigh PUG facebook page. You can enter up to two images on the monthly challenge theme and the community will vote on their favorites. The photographer with the most votes by the last day of the month will win a $50 American Express Gift Certificate. Does this mean we are no longer meeting face-to-face? No, each month we will host a shooting workshop to support the photo challenge for that month. The photo workshops will be held on the first Monday of each month.
For August, the photo challenge will be to create images with 1 off-camera light. On August 1st we will have an Off-camera basics shooting workshop for any Raleigh Pug members who wish to attend and learn about or practice using off-camera lighting.
You do not have to attend the workshop to participate in the photo challenge or to be eligible for the prize.
