President's
Message
Ah, summer, what power
you have to make us suffer and like
it.
Russell Baker
Summer
ushers in long days, ice cream trucks, lazy days
by the pool and wonderful
photography
opportunities
- things like the 4th of July! Along with all of
that comes excessive sweating and
brutal
sun.
While you're out capturing all that summer has
to offer, I would like to remind you to
take
care
of yourself. Please remember that the heat can
really take it out of you - sun protection,
hydration and rest matter. And,
if you are like me, (the kind of person to get
into a zone, forgetting to look
after yourself) consider
downloading an app or setting your phone alarms
to remind you to
re-hydrate.

July Field Trip
- What Is
It?
Time:
Anytime
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.
If you want to post your photos in advance
there is a gallery on Zenfolio for 2018.
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 it so it
comes after the What Is It
shot. |

"What
Is It?"
Photo
Review Meeting
Monday, July 16
7:00 pm -
9:00
pm
We are limiting the photos to just
your "What Is
It?" photos, and any
explanation photos for this review. You
may bring as many photos as you'd like. Be
sure to use a folder labeled "WHAT IS IT?" on
the thumb drive and rename the photo files
with your initials and a number (ex:
OP-1, OP-2,
etc.) |

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. | | |
