Recap of the May 2026 Meeting

Poppies are a big deal here in the Austin metroplex, especially around Georgetown. The annual Red Poppy Festival, with the flowers popping up everywhere, makes for a beautiful and fun spring. Your images, as always, pushed the boundaries of interpretation, making it another wonderfully successful month. And the best part is that we got some ideas about locations to visit next season!

Thank you for joining us this month. Below is our PotM info, and a recap of the round one images.

This month’s choice explores astrophotography in a way that we’ve not seen before. The images below are created by Uroš Fink, a Slovenian photographer that utilizes compositing to create fascinating images of the night sky. Be sure to explore his website (urosfink.com), and perhaps follow him on Instagram @urosfink

The “Poppy” images were loads of fun! Below you get to see the images as intended, without a projector interfering. Enjoy!
