President's Message





The nicest thing about the rain is that it always stops. Eventually.

Eeyore









I don't know about you, but as the recent unrelenting rain poured down, I started losing my spark.  I
found it hard to want to pick up my camera and felt especially blue when the picnic was rained out.
Our sharing meeting pushed me to pick up my camera so I didn't arrive empty handed. I have to say, I
felt much better after I got to work!

The first 15 minutes felt terrible.  Nothing was how I wanted it, the lighting was glum- I simply felt
uninspired. But I pushed on and soon started noticing how the cloud cover was helping the greens POP and the rain prompted the flowers to start blooming. I started seeing the different opportunities the rain brought to my lens, and even better? I started appreciating the change!

I hope as we enter into rainy season, you all find the opportunity to appreciate the changes the rain
brings.  And should you start feeling down, remember that the rain will stop.  Eventually.

Low Light Photography
by Erin Monroe

Monday, June 4
 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 June 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.

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. 

Remember, this will be our last field trip outing before we take a summer heat break in July.


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.  



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.
