President's Message




"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart."
~Elizabeth Andrew












Many thanks to our club members for volunteering so many hours of their valuable time to document the historical events of our city.  If you have never volunteered, we would love to have you join us!  Covering an event is easy.  
Here are a few pointers.
  • Wear your club membership name badge at all times.  This identifies you as a club member and will give you access to special locations that the locals are not privy to.
     
  • You do not have to be a professional photographer to participate...just a passion for photography.
     
  • Network!  Be sure to spend time with your fellow club members, network and build friendships.  Not only do you have a lot more fun when you do...you can learn a lot from each other.  Also make sure to say hello or interact with the volunteers and event staff as well.
     
  • Be sure to download the photos you take (minus duplicates) under the Zenfolio Events page within 1 week of the event.
     
  • The public can download event photographs for free directly through the Oviedo Photo Club website.  They will need to click on "Gallery" and then "Events" to see their photos.  Just be sure to remind them that it may take some time for all the pics to be uploaded.  They should check back several times after an event for their photo.  
     
  • Carry a handful of Oviedo Photo Club business cards with you.  It is a great way to break the ice and introduce yourself.  We will try to have these available to distribute at all the events we cover.  
     
  • Atticus Printing in Oviedo has our club logo and can embroider any shirt, bag, or hat you like.  They do a great job and it is inexpensive.  Their contact information is 407-365-9911159 N Central Avenue, Oviedo (located next to the Townhouse Restaurant).
If you would like to have a seasoned club member walk around with you during your first event, just let us know.  We are happy to show you the ropes!  

Hope to see you at an event real soon!   ~ Vallie 


General Meeting - February 19

Photo Review

                 Monday, February 19
         
                             7 - 9 pm


Bring 5-7 photos from recent events or any other pictures you would like to share. If you have photos that you would like help with, bring them with you!  If there is time, our club members can give you pointers on what to do.  Be sure to use a  labeled folder with the date on a thumb drive to store the photos you want to share.  It will make it easier for our projectionist.


General Meeting - March 5
Panoramic Photography

 Monday, February 5
             
             7 - 9 pm

Larry Gray will present on panoramic photography. The presentation will look at the camera, lens, and techniques with and without a tripod. He will cover the full spectrum 360/180 degree, partial panoramics, and even smaller ones.  Finally, Larry will discuss software and presentation.

City Hall Gallery Entries Now Open 



Our theme for the next round of photos in City Hall is "Four Legged Friends." The deadline for submissions is March 21, 2018 at midnight

The Oviedo Photo Club has proudly displayed photographs in the Oviedo City Hall since 2014.  Our curator will select five new photos for City Hall. The five oldest photos in City Hall will be moved to the Annex building to replace five of the photos there. 

Submissions are handled via Dropbox.  Send an email to the club to let us know you wish to participate.  You will be provided a link to a Dropbox folder to upload your photos.  All files submitted should be suitable for printing a 16 x 20 print.  All photos will be renamed to be anonymous and submitted to our curator for the selection process.  You will receive a confirmation email after the photos are renamed and submitted so you can verify they have all been provided to the curator.  Once the selection process is completed, all submissions will be placed into a nonpublic folder in Zenfolio for everyone to view.  If your photograph is selected, there is a $25 printing and matting charge.  All photos will be printed by the club for a consistent appearance and returned to you in the mat after they have been displayed in City Hall and the Annex building.
