New Season Begins

On our first meeting of the year, held on September 14, 2015, we welcomed returning members and saw our club grow with the registration of several new members. The year’s schedule and the mentor program was introduced. Club Executive members can be identified by their Blue name badges and Mentors have an Orange mentor label inside their name badge holder.

Our President, Harry Vose, encouraged all members to find a Photo Buddy within the club to swap images for post-processing. This valuable learning opportunity will help you see how your buddy would post-process your images and vice versa.

Faceless Portraits and Restaurant Food

Tags : 

Our May 11 and May 25 meetings focused on the Challenges: Faceless Portraits and Restaurant Food.

On May 11, members submitted up to 6 images for the enjoyment of the club and it was very clear that creativity and imagination were used in the interpretation of these challenges, in particular for Faceless Portraits.

For example, Lewis created a Portrait of Air, while Harry lost his head.

Antoinette’s photograph of food shown below was inspired by the work of Matija Erceg who pairs food with everyday objects. Examples of Matija’s work were also displayed.

On May 25, members selected three images from the Faceless Portrait and Restaurant Food for critique by members. Harry started off the evening critique with two images found on the web. Members were invited to share their ideas about the composition/framing, focus/DOF, Exposure/Use of Light and Presentation/Impact. Both images were unique and generated a great deal of conversation.

Then the members submissions were evaluated using the same criteria.  Creativity and imagination persisted in the member’s images for this evening.

For example, here is a friar captured in a crystal globe and and a very happy or tired dog16 Pic - Faceless.

A big thank you to Steve for all his work in organizing and displaying the images for the critique and for compiling the results.
