PADUCAH PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB

Club Meeting: March 1, 2010

2010-02-14T12:01:00.000-08:00

The next Paducah Photography Club meeting will take place on Monday evening March 1, 2010, at Broadway Church of Christ. Members and new guests please join us as Todd Birdsong and Randy Simmons from WKCTC will be presenting the program. The topic for the evening is "Critique".

Their presentation at our club in 2009 was one of the top programs of the year. They are entertaining and have great useful information presented in a very understandable format. It will be even more fun for you if you submit some of your own photographs to be critiqued - they will not know the name of the photographer.

Take some time to google "critique of photographs" and read up on the information presented there. A little time spent in preparing for the program will make it even more beneficial to you.

E-mail photos to Suzanne at:
andy.suz_roach@att.net
She will remove names and send to Todd and Randy to format for the meeting.

I just learned that some of our club members have the honor of being part of a new book entitled "Frozen in Time", a photojournalistic style book reflecting the ice storm last winter. According to Mike Smith, our club Vice President, "The Paducah Sun put out a call for submissions back around mid-December. There's about 300 pix in the book, the "art" of it, the damage of it and the recovery work, honoring the people who worked so hard."

On the club's official Facebook page (new link below), there was discussion about it with Jill Tanner (lucky lady made the cover shot... congrats!), Bill Fox and Mike Smith. Mike shared there were photos by Linda King, too. Funny though I don't remember entering. So it seems I have a double...does anyone know her? LOL

Perhaps those of you who were selected to be a part of the historical photographic journal will bring your photos to share with the club AND if you bought the book... it would be a great thing to share with members.

Congrats to all who entered!

PS... Let's publish them on the website in a special slide show. Please send photos that were published in the book to: linda@bluegrasspublishing.com Thanks!

Tonight's meeting was great and the feedback from club members was positive. Thanks to Mike Smith, Alison Hahn, Suzanne Roach and Caroline Roach for the mini workshops. These are the kind of meetings that really help members to get to know each other and share their talents and knowledge. Now let's see how much we can remember tomorrow. :)

To all club members...

Photography Club meeting update...

2010-01-31T13:51:00.001-08:00

From Suzanne Roach...

Just a quick update on our Photography Club meeting on Monday, February 1st, at 6:30. The challenge theme this month is motion. Our program for the evening is going to be a mini workshop. We will learn about exposure, aperture, shutter speed, and white balance. Everyone needs to bring their camera and their camera's user manual in order to participate as this will be a very hands on program.

March's program will be a presentation by Randy Simmons and Todd Birdsong. Randy and Todd will teach us how to critique our own work and the work of others. They will also cover the basics of composition. Everyone who wishes to have their images critiqued by Todd and Randy needs to upload 2 images to the club flickr site. If you do not have a flickr account, you can email the images to me directly and I will forward them to Todd and Randy. Todd and Randy will not know who's image is whose...your name will not appear with the photograph, so the critique will be anonymous.

Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting tomorrow night!

Sincerely,
Suzanne Roach
Program Committee Chair

The December 2009 meeting brought new beginnings for the coming year. The first "Photo of the Year" was chosen, along with a new board and new committees headed up by some enthusiastic members. More about these at our next meeting this Monday, January 4, 2010.

Kudos to Linda Ivey for her creative and ingenious winning photograph. It really captured the essence of our club. "Cameras" will be used for the cover shot on the club's official note card and other promotions throughout the year. Thanks, Linda for such great work.

Welcome to the new board for 2010: George Bennett, President • Mike Smith, Vice President • Kerri Brotherson, Treasurer • Linda King, Secretary. Thanks to the 2009 board for their continued support and remaining active on the board.

Please share these links with other club members and potential members. The feeling is that 2010 is going to be a great year.
