SUMMARY:Programs: "Self Critiquing & Developing Your Style" by Alan Sislen
DESCRIPTION:Alan Sislen Bio:\nAs photographers\, we often find ourselves in the role of self-critiquer and evaluator. It’s clearly a case of learning by doing\, but there are many skills and techniques that can help us become better self-critiquers and evaluators of our own images\, and ultimately\, we will even become better photographers. \nFrequently you find yourself in situations where you will be evaluating and self-critiquing your images – making choices of images to submit to a competition or an exhibit; editing down hundreds\, or even thousands of images after a successful photo excursion or workshop; deciding which of your recent “favorites” are worth taking the extensive time and effort to thoroughly edit and print; deciding which of your images to include in the galleries on your website\, on Facebook\, or on Instagram.\nImage evaluation and self-critiquing are intertwined and challenging\, but it is a topic rarely discussed. We can become better at this unique skill with awareness and practice! Once you’ve narrowed down your selection to a “reasonable number\,” you’ll want to use those same skills to objectively evaluate each image for processing so that you are not just randomly trying different edits\, hoping you will end up with the ideal image? How do you look at your “raw” material to decide if the image has the potential\, with thoughtful processing\, to be the image you imagined? For image processing\, honing your skills of evaluation and self-critiquing are critical and will save you hours and hours of time.\nThis presentation will be filled with dozens and dozens of real images\, evaluations\, and decisions. Alan will lead you through his process and the techniques he uses to make this critically important\, but rarely discussed part of the photographic workflow come alive.

SUMMARY:Education & Training: "Anonymous Critique" with Willa Friedman and Ron Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Take this opportunity to get feedback on your images. Submit images you are experimenting on with new software; images that need just a little help\, and/or images you may consider for a competition. The sole purpose of anonymous critique is to help you grow as a photographer.  You will not be identified unless you choose to make comments or ask questions about your images.  \nThe firm deadline for image submission is 6 p.m. on Tuesday\, April 2\, to allow time for our computer team to anonymize the images and for Willa and Ron to review them before the April 9 meeting.   \nYou can submit up to three images.  Please prioritize them by naming them as follows: number_title\, where number is 1\, 2\, or 3\, followed by an underscore and anything you’d like for a title. For example\, “1_Red House on the Prairie.” Putting the number first will allow us to sort the images so that at least one image from every photographer is critiqued.  Beyond that\, Willa and Ron will critique as many images as time allows. \nPlease submit your images to critique@nvps.org\, sized the same as for competition:  jpeg images 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 images be set to 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 our projector.  If you send the images from Mac mail\, please select the “actual size” option from the “image size” menu in the upper right corner. \nQuestions?  Please contact the Education and Training Coordinator\, Eva Lanyi\, at education@nvps.org.

SUMMARY:Member's Gallery: "Prints" with Roger Lancaster; "Digital" with Chuck Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Member: Roger Lancaster –  “Scene From My Eyes” \nBio for Roger Lancaster \nA native of Western Canada\, Roger first handled a camera when he was 6 years old when his grandfather\, a photo journalist\, let him use his old fold up camera. But it was not until he retired as an association executive 10 years ago that he took a serious interest in the craft. He sees photography\, not just as a record of events in life\, but an opportunity to bring the outdoors inside for all to enjoy. He also sees it as an opportunity to bring out his creative side\, and enjoys the artistic side of processing images as much as he does in capturing the photo. \nRoger initially shot landscape images\, but in recent years has gravitated to a more eclectic style with macro photography\, and experimenting with monochromatic processing of images. \nRoger has received numerous awards for his photography\, including the Best of Loudoun photo for two years running at the Waterford Fair\, an award sponsored by the Loudoun Now newspaper. A number of his images have been juried into Nature Visions Photo Expo. Many of his images have appeared in both popular and photographic journals and he has been the featured photographer in several issues of Grand Strand magazine\, a popular South Carolina based publication. Many of his images can be found in private collections. \nRoger has been an active member of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society since 2008. He has also just completed a 2 year term as President of the Nature Visions Photo Expo\, the premier nature photography expo in the Mid-Atlantic region. He currently uses a Nikon D500 as his primary camera\, although he has 3 other Nikons as spares. For processing he uses Lightroom and Photoshop\, and uses numerous filters\, especially the Topaz series. \nRoger and his wife Bunny live in Waterford and invite any members of NVPS who want to enjoy shooting photos in the outdoors to come and visit. \n    \n\nMember: Chuck Campbell – “A Shot in the Dark” \nDescription: This presentation is a compilation of outdoor images which were shot after sunset and before sunrise.  Most of the images were shot with a slow shutter speed to compensate for the lack of natural light.  And many of the images contain colorful artificial light and water reflections.   \nBio: Chuck Campbell is a long-time NVPS member and volunteer.  He enjoys the quiet solitude of shooting images long after others have gone home for the evening or before they wake up and get in the way of a good shot. When traveling\, Chuck always takes a tripod because he knows he will be taking many shots in the dark.  Unfortunately\, as he traveled across Europe and the U.S.\, he has missed many good meals with his wife as he waited for just the right blue-hour light.  With this presentation\, he will happily share those lonely\, hunger-induced images with you. \n  \n  \n  \n    \n
