PRESIDENT'S  MESSAGE

One of the things I like about Oviedo is that while it continues to grow, it still has events with a small town feel.  I see many of the same faces wherever I go, from the Farmer's Market to the Haunted House and even the volunteers manning the early voting tables at the library. We do a lot of events so we all have the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful people.  

I wish I had Rising 5K Gold medals to give our members for their willingness to jump in and help out at our Halloween events this year.  Rosemarie, Lamar, Lauren, Mark, and Joe are all new to the club and came out to photograph events.  Rosemarie did an incredible four of the five Halloween events and it's her first month in the club.  Michael S. managed to get away from his weird work hours to take several hundred posed portraits, choose the best of them and get them posted in record time.  Vallie, Margie, Jerry, Kevin, Sharon, Mike H. and Frederic were all at events taking photos, supporting our club and the community and having a good time.  My thanks to you all and anyone else I may have missed seeing at an event.

And finally, my congratulations to all who submitted photos for our City Hall and Annex galleries.   Three of our new members joined in and now have photos on display in a city building.  Our next round of photos won't focus on Oviedo so if you have suggestions for a theme please send them to the club email.

CITY HALL GALLERIES

The latest photos selected from our Oviedo Parks series have been printed, framed and hung.   Many thanks to Kellie for making the selections, to Scott for spending hours printing, buying frames and then matting and framing the photos.  Our thanks to both Kellie and Scott for hosting us on Saturday for the big reveal, the wonderful bonfire and the chance to socialize with each other.  If you are in the Oviedo area some weekday during normal business hours stop by and check out all of our photos.  The Annex and City Hall buildings are at the Oviedo City Complex located at 400 Alexandria Blvd.  The photos removed from the Annex will be available for pickup at the November 21 meeting.

WANDERING the WEB with VALLIE
Fstoppers Photography Blog

There are many photography blogs out there.  One of the favorites out there is Fstoppers.  This online community has been around since 2010 and covers photography and video topics.  The blog includes discussion groups, photo of the day, camera and equipment reviews, and many educational articles to improve skill set.

CASSELBERRY ART HOUSE EXHIBIT - JANUARY 2017

Thanks to all who've already committed to the January show.  This is a big event and opportunity for the club and we want to make sure everyone who wants to participate gets an opportunity to do so.  We've decided to extend the deadline to commit until November 27th.  Photos must be nicely framed or canvas wrapped and they can be up to 2' x 3' in size.  You can put in from one to at least five photos and possibly more.  The responses received will determine the final number you can hang.  The photos must be delivered to the Art House on January 3, 2017 but if you'd like, you may drop off your photos and the release form during the Christmas party at Susan's house and we will deliver them for you.
