submissions should be colorful. To submit

at Artwork Application, Rules and
Guidelines The deadline for
submissions is Tuesday, June 12, 2018 at 5:00
pm. The items will remain on display in
the welcome center until the setup for the

is short notice, but the theme for July will be
"Aperture" and as the name implies submissions
must be
photographs. |

feeling." To submit you will need to
follow the guidelines at Call for Entry The
deadline for submissions is Tuesday, June 26,
2018 at 6:00 pm. The items will remain on

President's
Message
Creativity takes
courage.
Henri Matisse
From time to time, we send out open calls
for photography. Some are for our club, such as
those for our city
hall display, and others are for events in our
surrounding community. These calls can feel a
little uncomfortable.
How do I know what they are looking for? Do I
want someone judging my work?
It's sort of like those
dreams where you show up to work in your
underwear!
Do you know what happens in the midst of
that discomfort? A lot of growth! Sometimes
you'll find that it
sparks your creativity, other times you'll find
your skill set expanding, and often it will
bring new opportunities
for friendship and connection.
I'd like to challenge you to submit your
work to at least 1 call this summer. I want to
challenge each of
you to find a venue, a competition, or a
call to enter. There are all kinds of
opportunities out there
locally, nationally, and even world wide. I
love seeing your work at our sharing meetings
and I would
be so proud to see your work displayed and
published where more people can enjoy your
talents.

Field
Trip - June 16
9:30
am - 12:00 pm
On June
16th, the Club is
headed to DeLand for a two-hour guided pontoon
boat excursion at Blue Heron River Tours. As
stated on their website, we'll be
heading south on the St. Johns' "quiet and
shallow backwater areas where wildlife viewing
is best." It'll be a great
opportunity to get outdoors with some friends to
capture the local fauna or flora or whatever you
like. The plan is to meet at
the Blue Heron by 9:40 am (their requirement)
for the 10 am tour. If we
have at least 10 people sign up, we get the boat
to ourselves for $20 per person, which is less
than their regular rates.
After our
two-hour tour, anyone who's interested can join
us for a delicious made from scratch lunch
at The Table
restaurant that is close by
in downtown DeLand. RSVP the club if you'll be
going, and include how many (up to one guest is
OK) and if you'll be staying for lunch. Contact
the club if you have any
questions. |

Photo
Review Meeting
Monday, June 18
7:00 pm -
9:00
pm
Bring 5-7 photos from recent events or
any other pictures you would like to
share. Be sure to use a labeled folder with
the date on a thumb drive and rename the
photo files with your initials and a
number (ex: OP-1, OP-2, etc.) for the
photos you want to share. This will make it
easier for our projectionist.
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.

July Field Trip - What
Is It?
Time:
Anytime - July 16 Photo Review
Where:
Anywhere
Every
summer we take a break from the heat one month
and do an "on your own" expedition. You
get to plan and organize your own field trip
around your home, your work or anyplace you
happen to go before our July Photo Review.
Your mission is to find common, everyday
objects and photograph them in a way that it
isn't quite so easy to figure out just what that
item is. Here are four examples from last
year but we're not telling what they are.
You might take a photo of a gadget that
no-one knows what it is or zoom in for a detail
shot to try and disguise something we would all
recognize if we saw the whole item. For
inspiration you might want to check out the
Zenfolio Field Trip galleries from
2017, 2016, 2014 or 2013 for
some inspiration. There is already a
gallery on Zenfolio for 2018 in case you want to
post some of your shots in advance and all of
the photos shown at the review will be added
after the meeting. At our meeting we will
have an informal competition to see who can best
figure out "What Is It." If you have a
very tricky shot that even after you tell us
what it is we won't be able to imagine it,
include a shot of the whole item but be
sure to name in so it comes after the What Is It
shot. |

City
Hall Gallery Entries
"Oviedo
Volunteer Events"
Deadline:
Wednesday, Aug 22
The Oviedo Photo Club
has proudly displayed photographs in the Oviedo
City Hall since 2014. We have ten photographs in
City Hall and eight in the Annex next door. Five
photos are selected for each new theme by our
curator. They
will replace five of the City Hall photos and
those five photos will be moved to the Annex.
The matted photos removed from the annex will
then be provided to the photographers for their
personal
collection.
Our
theme for the next round of photos in City Hall
is "Oviedo Volunteer Events". The
photos must have been taken after January 1,
2017 and at an event covered by the club.
The deadline for submissions is
Wednesday, August 22, 2018 at midnight. If your
photo is selected you will need to provide a
title and the name of the event it was taken
at.
Photos
may be either landscape or portrait but the
ratio should be 11 x 14. Please submit full size
files at 300 dpi. Photos will not be
disqualified if they do not fit this ratio but
if they are chosen for the gallery they will be
cropped or resized to fit this
ratio.
To
take part simply click here to send an email to
the club and
let us know you wish to participate. You will be
provided a link to a Dropbox folder to upload
your photos. You may add up to 5 photos to your
Dropbox folder. You may change your photos at
anytime before the deadline. Once you have
submitted all of your photos you may wish to
email the club to verify the files transferred
properly. Before being submitted to the
curator the photos will be renamed so the
photographer is anonymous.
After the deadline you will receive
an email with a screenshot showing the
photos you submitted. Other members will not see
the photos submitted unless they are selected
for display by the curator. If your photograph
is selected, there is a $25.00 charge for the
print, mat and backer board. All photos will be
printed by the club for a consistent
appearance. |
