November 29th – Anonymous Critique with Ginger Werz-Petricka and Willa Friedman

Take this opportunity to get feedback on your images without needing to enter a competition. Unbiased feedback is essential to our growth as photographers and artists. Face it, we all spend so much time working on our photographs that sometimes we need help separating the forest from the trees.

Send in images you are thinking of entering into competition, send in images you are experimenting on with new software, or send in what you have questions about! Remain anonymous, or enter into the discussion if you want, this is all about your growth as a photographer.

Members are asked to submit up to three images. Depending on the total number submitted we will alternate the images and will get to as many as time allows. The image maker will not be identified unless that person chooses to add their comments or ask questions. We will need your submissions by Sunday, November 27th, 6:00PM in order to get everything organized.

Please submit your images to nvpsimagegallery@nvps.org, sized the same as for competition with a maximum of 1400 pixels wide and 1050 pixels high (vertical shots have the same 1050 pixel height requirement), sRGB workspace. We recommend your jpeg images be 127 pixels per inch (PPI sometimes called dots per inch or DPI) or less (e.g., 127, 96 or 72 PPI) for best results with the competition projection program.

Name your images #_title, where number is 1, 2, or 3 and anything you want for a title. For example, “1_Red House on Green Prairie”. Putting the number first will allow us to easily sort the images so that one image from every photographer is critiqued before the second, etc.

November 29th – Swap Meet.

Members are encouraged to bring any unused photography gear to sell or give away. You can buy, sell, or swap with your fellow members.
