Education Meeting Dec. 5th, 7pm

by | Nov 24, 2018 | Happenings

Our Education Coordinator Jim Ingraham has planned an open discussion of prints and digital images for our upcoming meeting. Please see the details below for more information.

The next education meeting on December 5 will be an image sharing evening. No scores, just open discussion. You can share how and why you made the image. If you choose to bring an image or three, be prepared for feedback on how they can possibly be improved. Can be old or new. Everyone is encouraged to share their opinions and feedback but no one is required to. If you had an image that you submitted previously and feel it should have done better, this is a good opportunity to discuss what might have held it back. This will be discussion with back and forth opinions, not necessarily just straight critiques. If you have an image that you feel is perfect and you do not want to hear otherwise, don’t share that one! Can be digital or prints. If digital,send to Russ using normal guidelines except you don’t need to title them. If prints, can be any size, loose or mounted. If you can, try to bring prints as we will also talk a bit about printers and printing. I will bring a print and volunteer to go first. That way, if my feelings get hurt I can slip to the back of the room and sip on a tiny bottle of Tequila while silently judging everyone. (insert smiley face)

First Place

Annabelle    Dale George

    Halloween brings out my “darker side” and I always feel like it’s a photographic opportunity that most do not explore. I purchased this horror movie doll from our local Halloween store because I knew her piercing blue eyes and weird face would command attention. I shot this in an upstairs bedroom on a Victorian chair and placed her and Frank against the wall. Natural light was coming from the right and a speed light from the left. Most of the processing was done in On1 software by adding several textures in modest amounts to give it a slightly gritty look and lastly with a sunburst texture.

Shot with a Canon 5DMKIV and 24-70 lens combination. ISO 100, f/5 at 1/30 second.

This image is from the Boatnik carnival this year.  It was a little showery that evening. I caught this young boy with his umbrella taking it all in on the steps of the Rockstar ride.
