NEXT MEETING:  12 March 2026 2026, 6:30 PM.  Meetings and programs are free and open to the public without obligation. We are temporarily meeting at the Centenary United Methodist Church, room 102 (west-side entrance), 704 SW “D” Ave 

For more information, email:  WichitaWildlight@gmail.com

NOTE: Please check back here just before the next meeting for the meeting location. We’re hoping the Carnegie building will be ready for us to move back in. But if not,  we’ll have to meet again at the church in March.

1. PROGRAM:
“Using your Cell Phone as a Camera”  with Dwaine Horton.  After 33
years as a professional photographer, Dwaine once swore he’d never
use a cell phone as a camera—until technology proved otherwise. This
practical, engaging class explores how today’s smartphones function as
powerful “smart cameras” and how to get the best possible images from
them. Topics include how phones handle lighting, composition basics that
apply to any camera, proper shooting technique, and when (and how) to
use manual controls like ISO and shutter speed. Whether you’re
photographing for fun, travel, or work, this seminar will help you take
clearer, more compelling photos with the camera you already carry every
day.

2. PHOTO SHOW AND TELL:
If you’d like to share a few of your photos for the group to enjoy, please
email them to WichitaWildlight@gmail.com no later than two days
before the meeting. Send your photos as .jpg files, if possible, and be
sure to include the word SHOW in the subject line—otherwise, we might
miss your email!

3. PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE: Reflections
Look for the world mirrored back at you! Capture an image where a
reflection is a key element of the composition—whether in water, glass,
metal, or any unexpected surface. Any camera is welcome. Submit one
image and be ready to share where you found the reflection and what
caught your eye. Have fun discovering reflections hiding in plain sight!

4. DUES:
See Tina Traughber, WWPS Treasurer, before or after the meeting
to pay. Dues are $10 per individual or $15 per family annually. Note: You do not have to pay dues to attend regular monthly meetings. Everyone is welcome. Meetings are free and open to the public without cost or obligation. But your dues help WWPS survive and many extra benefits are available to those who pay dues. 

5. WWPS SHOW AT LESLIE POWELL GALLERY:
We’ll discuss the upcoming show of our images at the gallery. Here are the instructions for participating:
