SUMMARY:Education & Training Meeting:  Matting Tutorial with Bob & Willa Friedman
DESCRIPTION:At this month’s Education and Training session\, Bob and Willa will present a how-to/hands-on matting seminar to help members prepare their images for print competition\, exhibits or for personal use. \n\n\n\nThey will present how they cut and mount photos.  They use the “Corey Hilz Method” for cutting and mounting.\n\nOther methods and instructions for mat cutting and a spreadsheet can be found on the NVPS website. B & H also has a video at:\n\n\n\nEveryone’s method is different. The B & H demonstrator tapes the image to the backboard; we don’t do that for a number of reasons. There are also several mat cutters that have variations but in the end we all get the same result.\n\nAfter our brief demonstration\, there will be several workstations around the room where several experienced members will demonstrate how they cut mat using their equipment.   \n\nThis is a hands-on session\, so bring a photo\, not larger than 8.5 x11 to mat.  We will have mat board and other materials required to practice on.\n\nIf you have a mat cutter\, bring it to follow along.\n\nHere are are some documents (2 Word and 1 Excel) Resource for you to download.  Click on the link and then right-click (Mac: CTL+Click)  to select Save Link As to save to your hard drive:\n\nmatting Resources\n\nMake Mattes\n\nDouble Mats_measuring & cutting

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery: Digital – Steve Glintz – Print – Christine Tran
DESCRIPTION:Steve Glintz \nTwo Hour Images by Steve Glintz\nSteven graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in Computer Science and currently works in Northern Virginia as a software engineer.  For fourteen years\, Steven has supported the U.S. Navy and its allies through the development of air defense simulations and trainers and modernizing tactical control systems on-board submarines.  For the past six years\, Steven has been supporting the intelligence community. \n\n \nSteven spends his free weekends with his Nikon D800e capturing landscape\, architecture\, street\, long exposure\, and wildlife images.  He also enjoys creating macro and other abstract images in his make shift studio at home.  Post processing involves a combination of Adobe Lightroom for cropping\, color\, and dynamic range corrections.  He also uses Photoshop for heavy lifting such as focus stacking\, photo stitching\, and the occasional elimination of unwanted distractions such as dust spots.\n \nSteven has been a member of NVPS for 8 years.  During that time\, he has served the club in various capacities ranging from web maintenance\, digital competition preparation\, backup laptop operator\, and lending a helping hand at every meeting.  Besides attending programs and competitions at NVPS\, outside influences such as periodicals published by Digital Photographer and Digital Camera World as well as Bryan Peterson’s Understanding Exposure and Learning to See Creatively and Freeman Patterson’s Photographing the World Around You have tutored him through his early years.\n \nLast year\, Steven completed his first portfolio on Washington’s National Cathedral.  Two years prior to that\, Steven captured images of Western Ireland and the hilltowns of central Italy and Venice.  Fortunately\, Steven’s presentation demonstrates the wide variety of photographic opportunities available to local residents of the Washington metropolitan area who do not need to spend a lot of money on travel.  No matter your interest\, budding photographers are guaranteed a winning image in less than a two hour drive.\n \n\n \n \nLike Old Cheese and Wine by Christine Tran\n\n\nPeople like to take pictures of beautiful flowers and they tend to forget the wilted and droopy ones. To Christine each stage of the life cycle has it’s own beauty. These are the ” mature” flowers through her lens.\n \nAs an amateur photographer\, Christine started photography in 2014 with a Canon 70D. She has a particular fascination for macro and landscape photography. She is currently shooting with a Canon 5D Mark III and just bought a Fuji XT-2 for her upcoming trip to Vietnam in October. Christine joined NVPS in  February 2015.

SUMMARY:Member’s Forum – Gerry Abbott: Streets of Old Shanghai
DESCRIPTION:The neighborhoods of Shanghai’s Huangpu district continue to be under constant redevelopment. Entire blocks of Huangpu housing projects (typically dating from 1870 ~ 1930) are being demolished and replaced with modern high rise buildings. These new developments will contain expensive apartments\, condos\, offices restaurants and shopping malls. Shanghai’s unique Shikumen style housing and Lilong block structures are also being redeveloped. The huge Chinese migrant population has been a part of the workforce for these projects. \nThe former residences of Sun Yat-sen\, Mao Zedong\, Zhou Enlai\, Agnes Smedley\, Mei Lanfang among others have been preserved. However\, many existing residents will continue to be relocated to accommodate their neighborhood’s demolition. \nAs some of the neighborhoods continue to fall\, I became interested in documenting the current life on the streets of old Shanghai. At the forum\, I’ll show images and perhaps give tips on documentary and street photography. Images will mostly be monochrome and many were taken at night. There will be no photos that include westerners\, typical tourist locations\, famous modern buildings\, etc.   While I find these candid situations interesting\,  I look forward to revisiting these images following another decade of rapid change in Shanghai. \nGerry joined NVPS in 2006 and has held several NVPS board positions. He departed for Shanghai in 2012 and returned to Hoboken NJ in 2016. He now resides in Langley.
