“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst”
— Henri Cartier-Bresson


 

WELCOME BACK FROM OUR NEW PRESIDENT

I hope everyone enjoyed their summer and is ready to participate in our 2017 – 2018 season. The board and chair positions have been working hard this summer to ensure we have a well-planned and full agenda.  (read more)

 


 

 OUR 2017-2018 PROGRAMS

As the dog days of summer draw to a close, our thoughts move toward cooler times and, at last, the reconvening of camera club. Our Thursday nights will soon be filled with provocative speakers, competitions of our best shots ever, and thought-provoking seminar nights. Let’s not forget the field trips that take us to challenging destinations. Is this not a photographer’s dream?

It all begins on September 7, opening night of our 2017-18 season. As in the past, we will have speakers the first Thursday night of the month, judged competitions the second, and in-depth subject investigations the third.

Our thought was to present speakers on the year’s competition topics – nature, low light, Washington DC, architecture, and monochrome – a month or more in advance of the event. This would allow members time to apply what they learn in preparing for the subject competitions. We will also hear from speakers on other subjects such as travel and turning a photo into art.

Our upcoming judges have seen our website and know what to expect: some of the best images they have ever seen from a camera club. They are ready to share their expertise on the competition subjects they will be critiquing.

We are all very excited about seeing each other again and catching up on our summer adventures. If your summer was exciting, this season’s speakers and judges will keep that excitement going.

COMPETITION COLUMN

Hi to all SSCC members. I’m very excited about the upcoming Competitions season. The competitions, held the second Thursday of each month, provide a great opportunity to share your images with fellow members and have them critiqued by professional photographers. Though their judgments about the images and their selection of winning photos are necessarily subjective, the judges invariably offer helpful insights and suggestions about the entered images, whether they’re yours or those of another member. In my 2+ years as a SSCC member, I have yet to leave a competition without having picked up something useful that I can incorporate into my photography.

For the new Competitions season, we have what I believe will be a fun, stimulating and diverse array of competition topics. Our repeating mainstays – Open, Nature and Monochrome, will be joined by three new topics – Architectural Photography, Low Light Photography and Anything Washington. Please refer to the Members Handbook and/or the Cable Release for the definition of each topic.

Here’s the schedule for the season:

  • September            – Open
  • October                  – Nature Photography
  • November             – Open
  • December              – Low Light Photography
  • January                   – Open
  • February                 – Anything Washington DC
  • March                     – Open
  • April                        – Architecture Photography
  • May                         – Monochrome Photography
  • June                         – End of Year Competition (special rules apply)

As indicated, the topic for the season’s first competition on September 14th is Open, which gives you full freedom to enter images on any topic (or no topic) that you choose. The only requirement is that original images must be created by a light sensitive device, like a camera or scanner. Any subsequent alterations or manipulations of the images are permissible, so have at it.

Please be mindful that electronic submissions for projected images must be received no later than 11:59 pm, September 7th. The images should be emailed to: SSCCphotography@yahoo.com. (One important detail – In order to participate in the September competition, you must pay the club’s annual dues before the start of the competition.)

To learn the nitty gritty about the competitions, please refer to the Competition Rules and the Members Handbook, both of which are accessible from the SSCC website. Of course, if you have any questions about the competitions, please feel free to contact me at competition@ssccphotography.org

Finally, our monthly competitions are meant to be engaging, interactive member events, rather than dry, impersonal contests. As such, we heartily encourage all members who submit photo entries, whether print or electronic, to be present at the competitions. I say this for several reasons.

First, the critiques the judges offer of the photo entries can be valuable for the creators of the images. After all, the SSCC enlists our judges not only to have them select their favorite images for ribbons but, as importantly, to offer their professional photographic expertise and insights as they evaluate the images.

Second, audience members really appreciate hearing from ribbon winners a little of the contextual history of their images. Knowing where an image was made or how it was processed can be informative and often entertaining.   

And Third, being able to personally congratulate award winners makes for a more vibrant, fun experience for the audience. If a ribbon winner is absent when his or her name is called, the enthusiasm the audience wants to convey to the winner is unavoidably diminished. So, for all these reasons; if you plan to enter an image in a competition this season, please try your best to attend the event. It really helps strengthen the ties that bind us together as the SSCC.

As always, if you have any questions about the competitions, please feel free to contact Larry Gold at competition@ssccphotography.org.

A CLOSER FOCUS MEETING (THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28)

You might have noticed this odd new name for a meeting, and why is it on the fourth Thursday of the month, normally reserved for a Board meeting?  

The Board decided that our third meeting of the month, previously known as Seminar Night, did not have a name that captured the range of activities we enjoy in that meeting.  We decided that a new name, A Closer Focus, would be better – indicating that this meeting would cover photographic topics in some depth while being open as to the type of activity.  This evening continues to include education, hands-on workshops, and open forum discussions, how-to presentations, book reviews, video presentations, and more.  

Normally, this meeting is on the third Thursday of the month, but Thursday, September 21, lands on Rosh Hashana.  We are postponing A Closer Focus one week for just this month to occur on September 28, and rescheduling our Board meeting.  Our closer focus will be on the following subjects this month:

Worldwide almost 5 billion people use smartphones among a population close to 7.5 billion. Conservative estimates are that about 1.1 trillion photos will be taken in 2017 with those mobile phones.  Last year 98.4% of consumer cameras sold were built in to a mobile phone, the rest of the sales were compacts, mirrorless and DSLR cameras.  Because of mobile device cameras photography and picture taking are more popular than ever before in history. 

Why all the excitement and move towards mobile?  That’s the question we’ll attempt to answer during Closer Focus night.  We’ll discuss motivations and rewards of taking pictures with a mobile phone, favorite camera and editing apps and ways to get better with your mobile photography.

 

Example: Church Interior Panorama by Jens Rost

We have a project for this meeting as well.  “Seeing” will be the theme for the first few projects of the year.  For the A Closer Focus meeting in September we will make the photos to build a single 180 degrees panoramic image, and discuss how to set up to accomplish a panorama, and how to execute the final product.

Please bring your camera, a tripod, and a “medium” focal length lens or medium zoom. You don’t want to use a wide angle or long telephoto lens for this project.  In October you will bring the photos in, and show them all stitched together as a single panoramic image.

As a preview, the next project, in November, will be to take pictures on your stomach and bring about 6 different images.
 

In addition we will have the usual open discussion of book reports, gallery reviews, equipment and software discussions, or any photo related topic on your mind.

 

 


 

SEPTEMBER 4 FIELD TRIP TO THE MARYLAND RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL

On Labor Day, Monday, September 4, we will go to the Maryland Renaissance Festival. You will have an opportunity to shoot hundreds of people in weird medieval costumes, all of whom love to have their pictures taken; jousting, archery, jugglers, street entertainment, Shakespeare type stage productions,  and general bacchanalia.   (read more)

SEPTEMBER 23 FIELD TRIP TO HUNTLEY MEADOWS PARK

On Saturday, September 23, we will go to Huntley Meadows Park. Nestled in Fairfax County’s Hybla Valley, Huntley Meadows Park is a rich, natural and historical island of over 1,500 acres in the suburban sea of Northern Virginia. It harbors a nationally significant historic house, majestic forests, wildflower-speckled meadows and vast wetlands bursting with life.  (read more)

END OF YEAR CELEBRATION – JUNE 8, 2017 

The End of Year Celebration on June 8 was a great success! We had a potluck dinner at our regular meeting location in Fellowship Hall, mingled, and then handed out awards to recognize the year’s outstanding photographers. Many attendees won terrific raffle prizes! The relaxed atmosphere and easy circulation through the large space allowed members to socialize. Here are a number of photos from our celebration, thanks to Andrew Rein and Sue Green:

MAY 6 FIELD TRIP TO THE MARYLAND SHEEP AND WOOL FESTIVAL

On May 6, we had a field trip to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.  It was threatening rain, so perhaps that was the reason why not that many people made the trip. Fortunately, drizzle only started at the end and the clouds made for a nice soft, diffuse light. (Guess you should have come after all!) There were lots of different kinds of sheep in the sheds and the sheep herding provided some action. There was lots of knitting wool and raw wool to buy as well as products made from sheep products, like soap.

Many photographers in the exhibit had work in previous exhibits as well.

WHAT WE DID LAST SUMMER – BY BRUCE SCHAEFER

What we did last summer was go up to Pennsylvania over the 4th of July to take pictures of the Amish.  On one hand, the Amish are some of the most photogenic people on Earth.  In their straw hats and bonnets, pants held by suspenders, long dresses set off by aprons, riding horse buggies and scooters, they cry out with biblical purity and innocence.    (read more)

EXHIBITS AND EVENTS

FotoDC, Nov. 11 – 19

Whether through fine art photography, photojournalism, or the work of emerging artists, FotoDC provides a dynamic, evocative, engaging experience for photographers, cultural institutions, galleries, curators, schools, area residents, and tens of thousands of viewers.

The weeklong photography festival initially attracted professional and amateur photographers, photography lovers, and partners such as National Geographic, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Smithsonian Institution, and various local art galleries. FotoDC since launched new programs to provide greater exposure for all photographers, new venues for exhibitions and new programs for students and youth. The annual Festival in November continues to be FotoDC’s largest project with over 40,000 attendees each year.

Joshua Dunn: E Pluribus Unum
Monumental institutional and government buildings are created as a reflection of society’s values and through an architect’s vision and the labor of craftsmen. E Pluribus Unum, meaning “out of many, one,” reflects not only the labor and skill of those who designed and built them, but Joshua’s own process of photographing and constructing these images. Each photograph is assembled from between 700 – 2400 individual images to “build” the final photographs. In many ways, the artist’s process is a reflection of the labor, skill, and time required to create the buildings he seeks to capture.
