Get by with a little help from your friends…

Per Wikipedia, the adage "A picture is worth a thousand words" refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image. Are your images doing that? Where do you get your advice to make your photographs better?

Some of us have taken classes or workshops with photographers who have shown us how to make our images better. As I began my journey in photography, John Gonsalves (my first DSLR instructor) provided the technical information I needed to allow my camera to capture what I wanted it to capture. He forced me to shoot “manual” in order to better understand the photography triangle of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. I saw how the interplay of these factors influenced the exposure of my image. My journey continued as I explored the three C’s of photography with Joe Miller: Craftsmanship (the technical aspects of the image), Composition (the design aspects of the image) and Creativity (the different, imaginative, unusual aspects of the image). The three C’s helped me better communicate the story I wanted to tell. This summer, as I rehabbed after tendon surgery, I did a lot of reading and watched a lot of videos about photography. One of the most inspiring webinars I watched was by Art Wolfe on CreativeLive. Art’s photographs summarized all of the advice I had learned about communicating through photography and inspired me to explore how to better my images.

My point is that photography is a journey. Enjoy the trip and try to learn something new every day. The internet is a great resource for exploring the “world” of photography.

• Establish a Google email and check out the Google+ Photography communities. There are hundreds of world-wide communities covering a wide array of photographic specialties—landscape, HDR, night, B/W, macro, and more. Participate in one or more; or just watch. You will be inspired!

• Subscribe to a daily newsletter or blog. Every article/topic may not interest you, however you will be amazed at the “ah-ha” moments you may have as a puzzling question is answered when you least expect it! Some of the links I have found helpful are:
• Mollie Isaacs’ blog: http://awakethelight.blogspot.com/
• Creative Live webinars: https://www.creativelive.com/
• Daily Tips and tricks from PictureCorrect: http://www.picturecorrect.com/
• Articles, news, & reviews: http://photographylife.com/about-us

This year, get a little help from some new Internet friends. Let them help you tell your story. Make your picture replace a thousand words!

The Education and Training Coordinator for this year is Tom Pratuch.

Competition

There is no theme for Competition Night, September 16.

Jim Steele is a photographer in the tradition of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. Working primarily in medium and large format, his “scapes” of land, sea, and body represent the finest in traditional and digital photographic imagery.
Jim has studied with Cole Weston, George Tice, Joyce Tenneson, Christopher James, Carson Graves, and Martha Casanave.

In our D.C. area his work can be seen in Studio #343 in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria.
Jim has taught workshops and photography courses at the Art League School in Alexandria, the Smithsonian, Visarts, Photoworks, Inc, at Glen Echo Park and has guest lectured at Georgetown University. He has also taught numerous workshops in digital printing.

“First and foremost, I photograph what interests me, until it no longer interests me; then I photograph something else. Most of my work is landscapes and figure studies executed with both traditional and digital materials.”

“In the end, it’s not about the process, it’s about the image. It either works or it doesn’t.”

Biography of James D. Steele

Education:  B.S./M.S. Industrial Engineering, University of Missouri.  Master photography classes with George Tice, Carson Graves, Christopher James, Cole Weston, Joyce Tenneson, and Martha Casanave.

Competition Themes for 2014 – 2015

Street Photography 

For this theme “street photography” is defined as a photograph featuring 1) the human condition or 2) the relationship or interaction between people and their surroundings. A street photo example could be a candid, semi-candid or spontaneous (but not staged) photo of a person (or persons) in a public, private or open place doing something other than posing for you to take their picture.

 Water

From a single drop to a mighty ocean, and anything in between, water is the theme of this monthly competition. It can be still or moving but liquid water must be a key subject of the image.

 Still-Life

For this theme, a still-life is defined as an artistic arrangement or collection of non-moving inanimate objects, either natural or man-made. The arrangement can be arranged by the photographer or someone else such as in a store-front window or flower bouquet. Please, no architectural subjects such as buildings or bridges, people, landscapes or moving objects for this theme. The still-life must be the main subject of the image.

Editor's note: We like to share competition winning images on the website and include a representative winner from each category in the monthly newsletter, but we cannot do this unless the photographer specifically grants permission. When you win a ribbon in the competition, please remember to grant permission. See the note in the following section for details.

Forum

September 23rd: "Your DSLR Takes Movies. Have You Used This Feature?" - presented by Wayne Wolfersberger

It is so easy to take a movie with your iphone and email it to friends. But have you ever tried to make an informative high quality movie? There are lots of opportunities to use your DSLR’s movie feature, download it onto your computer and then use one of the many software products to edit, splice, modify sound, add stills and so much more to turn it into a short video. Wayne will show you a variety of short videos using several different editing features available. Some videos will feature short clips of Yellowstone and many other areas. Tips and Techniques will be covered and some inexpensive equipment will be shown that aid in the movie making process.  Besides making movies for your own enjoyment, you may also want to upload them onto You Tube. Below is an image from my video with the most hits on You Tube.

Biography of Wayne Wolfersberger

An ecologist-naturalist, educator and nature photographer by professional training and passion, Wayne has integrated all areas to become a well-respected professional nature photographer in the Washington DC area. His photographic expertise was honed while working for a D.C. area commercial photography firm, the US Navy Photographic Center and involvement in numerous professional seminars and workshops.

Wayne is a member of NANPA (North American Nature Photography Association), NAPP (National Association for Photoshop Professionals), the Vienna Photographic Society and Northern Virginia Photographic Association for which he serve as VP and President. Wayne has delivered numerous and varied photographic programs for many local groups in the Greater Washington area, in the Southern Appalachians, and internationally in the UK and Australia. Many of his images have appeared in local, national, international magazines (including multiple images in Nature's Best), on calendars, postcards, exhibited and sold as fine art prints. Wayne has also worked as a wedding photographer and done the craft circuit.

Wayne teaches a variety of photography classes locally during the fall, winter, and spring (if not on short travel excursions) and most recently during the summer. For 14 years spent the summers (May to September) in Yellowstone National Park working for the US NPS he turned in his badge after the 2012 season in order to spend time with his family and new grand daughter when they moved to Maryland after 9 years Down Under. Wayne has found the summers in the DC area to be a new experience photographically because in 1999 when he first started working in Yellowstone he had only photographed the summers in the area with film cameras.

The Forum Coordinator for this year is Susan Phillips.

Members Gallery

September 23rd: Joy Brathwaite - Prints, and
      Kim Enevoldsen - Digital

On September 23, Joy Brathwaite will present her prints and Kim Enevoldsen will present her digital images for September's Members Gallery.

Joy Brathwaite started photography in July 2013 with a Nikon D3000.  Shortly after picking up the camera, she was invited to join the Northern Virginia Photographic Society by a work colleague.  Through NVPS she has met great photographers and learned various photographic techniques, whom and which she credits with improving her photography significantly.  The high points of her first year in photography included being juried into Nature Visions 2014, and winning the Peoples' Choice Awards in the 4th Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit.

Photography provides a relaxing artistic juxtaposition to her job as an aerospace engineer.  Whether photographing abstracts or landscapes, Joy enjoys taking images with strong shapes and vibrant colors. These elements add lots of energy to the image making the shot dynamic.  Currently, she is working on a series about bridges, and authoring a book for elementary students on the history of the various memorials on the National Mall.

	Joy's images --Left: SWF4; Above: Blue Spark; Below: Versona Bridge

Kim Enevoldsen has been a member of NVPS since 2010.  While working in Washington, D.C., on a temporary work assignment, she purchased a digital SLR and recognized she needed and wanted to get more involved in photography again.  Although Kim spent some time shooting film in high school and early college, she concluded that finding a group, which could provide instruction, guidance, and fellowship with like-minded fanatics was paramount. Hence the Northern Virginia Photographic Society.

Kim is an amateur photographer who uses her day job to fund her hobby.  She recently sold several photographs taken this summer.  How awesome is it to have fun and get paid at the same time!  Kim has no formal photography training but at times can be a seminar junkie.  She enjoys shooting a variety of topics that coincidentally parallel activities her family is currently involved in such as ice hockey and horse shows.  Kim uses Canon equipment but finds that most of her creative images come from her iPad, much to the chagrin of some of her fellow photographers.  

Kim looks forward to many more years with NVPS.  She plans to master the "video" DSLR concept, take more photography on-location workshops, and one day...many years from now, maybe, just maybe make enough to buy more photography equipment in pursuit of the perfect image.

The Member's Gallery Coordinator for this year is Colena Turner. Presentations schedued for this season are:

Fifth Tuesday

September 30th: Education and Training Night

Small Group Discussions

Small group discussions between members on “how-to” and “what about…” of various photographic subjects – architecture, macro, etc… NVPS did something similar two years ago on cameras to give most people a reference point for the style of the night. Look forward to seeing you there! Your club “level” is not what’s important here. It’s the willingness to share information and help others.

Field Trips

September 6: Field Trip to the National Zoo

This year’s field trip coordinators, Bob Friedman and Mike Whalen, will be hosting the first club field trip to the National Zoo in Washington DC on Saturday, September 6. Meeting time will be at 8 AM at the zoo visitors center which is near the Connecticut Avenue entrance . Bob and Mike will be joined by noted zoo photographer and lecturer, Don Johnson who will be offering tips and suggesting good photo ops. Don was the program speaker at NVPS on October 1, 2013.

The National Zoological Park, commonly known as the National Zoo, is one of the oldest zoos in the United States, and as part of the Smithsonian Institution, does not charge admission. Founded in 1889, its mission is to provide leadership in animal care, science, education, sustainability, and visitor experience.

The zoo is an excellent place to photograph wild animals from around the world. The zoo map shows where each group is located. The grounds opens at 6:00 AM and some of the animals are out and about so feel free to come early and walk around before the crowds arrive and before the field trip begins.

Entrance to the zoo is free, but parking in the zoo lots cost a flat fee of $22. You can park in lots A and B after 6:00 AM. Other zoo lots don’t open till 8:00 AM. There are also several other nearby parking lots. There’s also the DC metro which gets you pretty close. Use the Red Line and get off at either Woodley Park/Zoo/Adams Morgan stop or the Cleveland Park stop with a short walk to the zoo entrance.

As far as equipment, a telephoto lens of 200mm or higher might be useful to get animal close-ups. Tripods and monopods are also allowed at the zoo. Of the two, Don recommends a monopod.

In case of rain, the field trip will be postponed till the next day, Sunday, Sept. 7 also at 8:00 AM.

NVPS had a good turnout for the field trip to the Montgomery County fair. Bob Friedman and Mike Whalen have posted images that the NVPS Members captured during the field trip. The images can be found at the following link:nvps.org/gallery/v/fieldtrips/2014/Montgomery+County+Fair/

Please email Bob and Mike at field-trips@nvps.org if you are interested in attending this field trip or have any questions. Important: Please provide your name and cell phone number (before Sept. 6) where we can contact you in case of changes or postponement due to weather. We look forward to seeing you at the Zoo!

If you are interested in meeting up with other NVPS members to do a less formal photo shoot, check out the club's Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NVPSPhoto/

If you are looking for other interesting photo destinations in the DC area, the club has descriptions of a number of lesser known photo destinations in the DC area at: http://nvps.org/home/?page_id=140

There is also a club site on Flickr and although it has been relatively inactive over the past few years, it is still up and available for Flickr users who are willing to share: https://www.flickr.com/groups/thenvps/pool/

Announcements

Notice: The information about workshops and events not sponsored by or affiliated with NVPS are provided as an informational courtesy to Members. Individuals should review the detailed rules and conditions for contests and gallery shows to determine what impact entering an image has on the photographer's rights and ownership of the submitted images. Review the descriptions of workshops to see whether participation in a particular workshop would actually meet your personal learning goals. NVPS attempts to screen events for legitimacy and quality; however NVPS does not recommend these events and cannot assume responsibility for their ultimate quality. We recommend due diligence and encourage you to share your experience with other club members.

Joel Goodman

For those who weren't aware, Joel Goodman, member of NVPS since 2011, died Saturday, July 5, while on vacation in Virginia Beach. His wife Betsy said the cause was heart arrhythmia and neck trauma related to a fall from a bicycle while on vacation two days earlier.

Joel presented a program on Camera Technology to us in April.

Joel, a scientist and systems engineer who worked for several government contracting firms in the Washington area, received his Bachelors in Engineering Physics from Cornell and a Masters in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois. He retired in 2011 from QinetiQ. He also was a teaching fellow and instructor at George Mason and George Washington universities.

Joel loved soccer and coaching Falls Church City house-league teams.  He and Betsy were season DC  United ticket holders  and attended all the home games.  During the league coaching  season,  Joel's face would light up as he spoke with pride and joy of the improvements  his players made - not just on the field - but off of it as well. One of his unshakable beliefs was that sports, especially team sports, taught us a lot, not just about the specific sport but also about life.

He initially took up photography in 1972 with a Mamiya Sekor 1000. In 2000, after a trip to Alaska during which he shot 28 rolls of high speed Ectachrome ($10/roll, $10/roll processing) shooting a total of 110 rolls that year, he deemed the capital cost to be more than worth the elimination of supply cost for film camera operation and purchased his first digital camera. His photography interests were nature, sports and automobiles.

The funeral service was held at Temple Rodef Shalom in Falls Church, Va., on Friday, July 11 with burial at National Memorial Park. He is survived by his wife Betsy, son Benjamin, and daughter Rebecca. (photo by Alan Goldstein)
