SUMMARY:December 1\, 2018 - Field Trip: "Scottish Festival" -  Alexandria\, VA
DESCRIPTION:Our December field trip will be December 1 in Old Town Alexandria. We’ll start with the Scottish Walk\, a holiday parade that’s an Alexandria tradition\, with the tartans of Scottish Clans\, the  stirring sound of Scottish bagpipes and drums\, Scottish dancers\, reenactment groups\, Scottie dogs\, dignitaries\, classic cars\, Santa Claus\, and much more.” The parade begins at St. Asaph and Wolfe Streets in Old Town (photo opportunities abound as the groups get organized) and ends at Market Square. In addition to the parade itself\, this is an excellent opportunity for street  photography\, especially for those who are somewhat intimidated by asking people if we can photograph them. The parade starts at 11:00am though the staging area will be active well before that.  \nAfter the parade\, we’ll meet at Mia’s Italian Kitchen at the base of King Street at 1:00pm; we have a reservation upstairs. \nThe day will conclude with the Holiday Boat Parade of Lights. The parade itself begins at 5:30pm at the waterfront; there are events planned at the Torpedo Factory during the afternoon. Night  photography skills can be practices or enhanced!

SUMMARY:Education & Training: "Macro Photography" with Dennis Govoni
DESCRIPTION:“On December 11\, Dennis Govoni will talk about tools and techniques of doing macro photography.  Included in the presentation is how to do focus stacking and what subjects are most suited.  What equipment and software are most useful?   How is focus stacking done?  Dennis will show how best to capture macro images that can later be focus stacked to make them sharp throughout the scene. An actual demo will be done showing the steps using Adobe Photoshop.” \nBio\n“Dennis began his photographic journey in 1964 while an undergraduate at Marietta College in Ohio. \nAfter graduate school\, he took a professorship at Virginia Wesleyan College and during a two week period in January\, known as the “January Term”\, he often offered various courses in photography starting with black and white and eventually moving towards color photography using the then innovative technology known as the “Cibachrome Method”\, a direct positive-to-positive color print approach. \nNow retired for 7 years\, Dennis continues to spend time enjoying photography. His approach is to try and look for interesting details in a subject (influenced by his biology and botany background) and the role of light quality in revealing  those details. While he started out doing macro photography\, he also enjoys wildlife and landscape\, too. \nWhile not a professional by any means\, his work has appeared in a children’s book series on nature and in publications such as Photography Week. He is also an active Getty Image contributor where his images have been used by the BBC\, The Weather Channel\, Bank of America and other enterprises. He has also taught in George Mason’s OLLI Program (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) as the lead for their “The Art of Photography” Series.  \nDennis has been a member of NVPS for about eight years and has been involved with Nature Visions for the last four years. \nHis photos can be found at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dngovoni/.” \n  \n

SUMMARY:Competition: Theme "Geometry" with Judge Greg Holden
DESCRIPTION:Theme Subject: Geometry \nGeometry: Images where the predominant elements are geometric shapes—circles\, squares\, rectangles\, triangles\, etc. The compositional elements may be specific [subject-based]\, such as a wall with a door & doorknob & windows\, or implied [design-based]\, where the photographer searches for designs\, such as rectangles\, circles\, etc. without concern for the names of the objects. For example\, subject-based could consider a scene with land\, ocean and sky\, whereas\, design-based could see the same scene as three rectangles of different tones and sizes. \n\nGreg Holden is a photographer from Rockville\, MD who uses his photography to share with others his visions of the world. \nHe is an avid hiker and\, while most of his photos are from visits to National Parks\, some of his best photos are from outings closer to home. \nWhile Greg has enjoyed photographing many beautiful sunrises and grand landscapes\, he finds that the little scenes often overlooked by others are the ones that fuel his creativity. Greg is always looking beyond the obvious and photographing the things that others might not even notice…like an acorn sprouting\, the patterns made by rust and faded paint on an old automobile\, or patterns in the windblown sand of a local beach. \nGreg enjoys teaching others and sharing his passion for photography.  He speaks and judges at clubs throughout the MD/VA area.  He also teaches classes through Capital Photography Center (capitalphotographycenter.com). \nYou can see Greg’s work on his website www.imagesunderfoot.com and follow him on Instagram @imagesunderfoot \n
