President's Message


"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."     - Elliott Erwitt

There are several opportunities over the next few weeks to volunteer and serve our community as an event photographer. Be sure to check out the calendar section of this newsletter for the dates and details.   

This month's field trip is scheduled for the Melbourne Air & Space Show, Saturday, March 24, and we plan to meet at 10:00 am.  We hope to see you there.

Meeting

Photo Review
 Monday, March 19th
7:00 - 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: PR-1, PR-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.  


City Hall Gallery Entries
Due March 21 



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 11 x 14 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.  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.

Meeting



Low Light Photography
by Erin Monroe
&
Volunteer Photographs & Zenfolio
by Frederic K

 Monday, April 2
7:00 - 9:00 pm

Are you afraid of the dark? Do you find yourself passing on photographing events or interesting subjects due to less then stellar lighting conditions? Join us in April for a presentation on low light photography. Come learn how member Erin Monroe shoots in low lighting conditions. This presentation will focus on using available light to achieve artful imagery.

Frederic K will then tell us the who, what and why to photograph at events.  He will also demonstrate how to upload, edit the photo details such as copyright information and move photos to Event Galleries on Zenfolio.



SPRING FORWARD
Along with resetting the time on all cars, watches, appliances, and other devices don't forget to reset the clock in your camera.  It's also a good time to check that the year on your copyright is also correct.
