Start the Year with Gary Wagner

Gary Wagner’s love of the photographic image began when he became the photographer for his high school newspaper in Kokomo, Indiana.  He continued his education at Indiana University in Bloomington, eventually moving to Santa Barbara, California, to attend Brooks Institute of Photography.  While at Brooks, Gary increased his artistic and theoretical knowledge of photography and the historical significance of the printed image.  Earning a Master’s Degree in Photography from Brooks Institute, with the publication of his work on historical carbon printing,  gave Gary a continued appreciation and passion for his art. 

             Wednesday, January 8th at Kilaga Presentation Hall

December 4th Enhancement SIG to feature three new Photo Challenge Images.

The idea of the challenge is to take a look at how different people interpret

and apply their personal touch to the same image.

To participate in the challenge, members need to download the high quality image files from the Photo Challenge Page and work their magic.

There are no rules other than you must still be able to recognize the enhanced photo as being derived from the original photo. You can turn it into a work of art such as a painting, a sketch, a cartoon, an abstract, or you can just make into a better photo. It's up to you.

 

Feel free to let your creativity and imagination run wild, or show off your skills at creating a great photo using your favorite post processing software.

Enhancement SIG meets 1st Wednesday in Orchard Creek Lodge Multi-purpose Room at 8:30 AM

The Enhancement SIG will be coordinated by Kate McCarthy.  The formats will include incorporating Photo Challenges, monthly review and critique (if requested) of members' work, and discussion of the various methods and programs for photo editing.

 

If members would like specific presentations on software and/or process, please let Kate know. We will look for members who can provide some experience in this area to lead that particular SIG. Our photo club has a wealth of experience and expertise, so the success of the Enhancement SIG will be a community effort.

SCLH Photography Club Facebook Page

This is a place for SCLH Photography Members to have a conversation about photography, cameras, and places to shoot photography in the area. You can ask a specific "how to" or "where can I find..." or "how can I improve this shot?" or "thinking of going to.....does anyone want to come too?" You can post great photography-related websites that others might like. Use your creativity.  The SCLH Photography Facebook page is restricted to the Club membership only.

 

There are a few rules.

  1. No politics, none, nada.

  2. The only things you can sell on this page are photography equipment that is usually sold within the club like reselling cameras, printers, etc. Nothing else. Nothing.

  3. Constructive criticism only when critiquing. (Don't tell us that it was a stupid, boring shot, We'll figure it out anyway.)

  4. If you are selling your photography, protect your copyright. You may not want that one up on the Internet on Facebook. Post a link to your photography website instead.

Volunteers Needed for Video Production

The Association’s Video Services Group (“VSG”), a sub-group within the Communications and Community Relations Committee, is seeking volunteers to assist with producing a variety of different types of video pieces.  These videos are almost all intended for posting to our Association’s YouTube channel to be viewed by residents.

VSG is particularly interested in hearing from residents who have experience in all aspects of video creation.  We want to hear from YOU if you would like to become involved with the planning, directing, camera operating, video editing, audio engineering, and/or assisting more experienced members of the group.  If any of the foregoing piques your interest, please contact Peter Beckett via e-mail at videography@sclhca.com.
