Sept 3 Quinebaug Valley Photo Club Meeting
Our first competition of the 2009-2010 season went very well. Jim Dionne of Meriden was our judge and he used his tremendous knowledge and years of judging experience to offer excellent critiques with helpful hints to improve our photography. Winners have been posted to the website…click on the tab above for 2009-2010 competition winners to see who received the points for the evening. Winning images will be added soon.
Discussion at the meeting prior to the competition included:
1) Distribution of professionally created and printed posters to publicize our club. Members are seeking places to hang the posters in their respective towns. Our thanks to Karen Leaf for the poster design.
2) Distribution of business cards advertising the club, meeting times and dates, website and email address.
3) Discussion on Woodstock Fair moon shot field trip for Sept 4th….meeting at 6:15 in the parking lot directly across from the main entrance to the Fair.
4) Decided to enter NECCC color print competition. Deadline for submission of entries is Oct 28th. We will enter both Nature and Open. We had a good start for the open category with the winners of September’s prints.
5) Would all nature shooters look through your archives for images that have not been entered in any NECCC competition. We need 4 images from 4 makers.
6) We will be scheduling a selection night for this competition in late September. More details to follow.
7) Karen and Lois are putting in time to make the website useful to members as well as new folks checking us out. Please be patient as we are not experts and we are trying to work with the software as best we can. Format may not be pleasing but hopefully the content will be helpful!
Coming in future months (we hope) are columns of interest written by members. Perhaps a computer lesson, Photoshop technique, HDR (High Dynamic Range), a favorite local place to travel for shooting, etc. We would like to make this website work for members and become a place to visit frequently. We can’t do it without your participation.
9) If you want to write something for the web please do and then email it to info@quinebaugvalleyphoto.com. We welcome your suggestions.
Lois Latraverse, President
