Central Ohio Woodturners Meeting - November 2009

Just a few pics from our recent club meeting for you. Steve took the people pics, I took the turning pics.




This is me, taking photos of our show and tell and president's challenge offerings. Actually, at this moment I'm setting my aperture and shutter speed. I shoot these images on manual mode in RAW format. I use Aperture with Nik Software plug-ins for processing.











Walt Betley, my neighbor from across the street and the wonderful gentleman who got me interested in wood turning. Walt's been turning for about 75 years now. Steve captured Walt perfectly - always a smile and something smart to say.
















Fred Dutton demonstrated hat making - not an easy thing to do on a mini lathe.

















Jim Burrowes and Barbara Crockett did the beginner's corner. The topic was natural edge bowls.

















This beautiful goblet was turned by Dennis DeVendra. Dennis is blind and I'm amazed at how accomplished a turner he's become in the past year.


For more pics of the evening, check out the photo album on my Facebook wood turning page:

I took this photo just after sunrise this morning. It's an HDR of three photos plus some post processing using the Nik software plug-ins for Aperture. Enjoy!

I finally had time to take a photo of my most recent sphere in the series, "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." - Lao Tzu. This one is #6.
