SUMMARY:Programs: Mark Buckler - Nailing Your Exposures - It’s not as hard as you think
DESCRIPTION:Bio\nMark Buckler has been actively documenting nature for over 30 years. Mark was born on Cape Cod\, MA and his passion for photography was ignited and honed in this area of natural beauty. In 2005\, Mark moved to the Outer Banks of NC\, where he continues to reside and pursue his passion for nature\, wildlife and landscape photography. Mark’s degree in wildlife biology from the University of Vermont and his extensive experience as a wildlife field biologist provides him with a deep understanding of nature and animal behavior. This knowledge enhances Mark’s ability to capture unique and interesting nature images and also put his workshop clients into the right spots to capture the most compelling images. Additionally\, his 15 years of experience as a high school biology teacher contributes to Mark’s ability to offer engaging\, meaningful and enjoyable instructional workshops and presentations. Mark is a renowned photographic instructor who has been invited to teach workshops or give presentations nationwide. Mark’s highly acclaimed images have received numerous international\, national\, regional and local awards. His fine art prints have been featured in many exhibitions and can also be found in several galleries. Mark’s photos have appeared in dozens of magazines and other publications\, Along with co-author\, Steve Alterman\, Mark has documented the abundant wildlife and diverse habitats in and around the Outer Banks in a book\, Coastal Wild – Among the Untamed Outer Banks. \nPresentation\nNailing Your Exposures – It’s not as hard as you think\nThroughout decades of teaching experience\, I have recognized that the single most challenging aspect of photography that most people face is that of getting the proper exposure. This presentation will break down the entire concept of exposure into a few basic considerations that will simplify this complex\, abstract and counterintuitive process. We will cover exposure theory\, the benefits and drawbacks of various shooting modes and how to properly meter using today’s digital cameras. \n

SUMMARY:Education & Training: Anonymous Critique with Fran Bastress and Kathryn Mohrman
DESCRIPTION:Education and Training: December 10\, 2019 \nAnonymous Critique with Fran Bastress and Kathryn Mohrman \nTake this opportunity to get feedback on your images. Submit images you are experimenting 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\, December 3\, to allow time for our computer team to anonymize the images and for Fran and Kathryn to review them before the December 10 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\, Fran and Kathryn will critique as many images as time allows. \nPlease submit your images to critique-2019@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-2019@nvps.org.  \n

Vienna\, VA 222182 \nWe look forward to you joining NVPS for a field trip to photograph the Meadowlark Gardens winter celebration in lights.  A beautiful sight and fun for all! \nAt that time of year\, it is hard to know what the weather will be other than we can anticipate it will most likely be cold\, so dress warmly.  The visitor center is warm and cozy but has limited seating if you need to warm up. The lights will shine in all weather.   \nWe will meet at the Visitor Center at 7PM.  Tickets can be purchased ahead of time online starting October 1\, 2019 at https://www.eventbrite.com/.  It is important to get your ticket ahead of time as the Gardens manages the crowd by the ticket sales.  The tickets are sold for date and time and are reasonably price. We will confirm prices closer to the date. Unfortunately\, we are unable to get a group discount for NVPS members. \nYou can check out all the Meadowlark activities at https://www.novaparks.com/parks/meadowlark-botanical-gardens \nWe can plan on an after-shoot snack or desert at the Amphora Restaurant located at 377 Maple Ave W\, Vienna\, VA 22180. \nWe hope you will join us! \nJudy Graham and Tana Ebbole \nField Trip Coordinators 2019-2020 \nFieldtrips-2019@nvps.org \n

SUMMARY:Competition: “Night Photography” with Judge Roy Sewall
DESCRIPTION:Night Photography is the theme for the Competition\nThe night presents an interesting set of photographic opportunities. Places active with human activity\, such as city streets\, country fairs\, fireworks\, and etc.\, come alive at night.  But even quiet and lonely places – cemeteries\, back alleys\, and moon-lit shorelines – can surprise you with what they have to offer. The absence of daylight at night will force us to ensure that we capture sufficient light by increasing the length of our exposures\, by adding light (flash or light painting)\, or by increasing the sensitivity (ISO) of our sensors. However\, be careful to maintain the feeling of darkness in the image\, i.e.\, don’t let a too-long exposure turn your scene into the daytime. Wherever you may be headed\, grab your tripod\, a wireless or cabled shutter release\, and a friend (for assistance\, company\, and safety)\, and have fun shooting in the dark.  \nThe definition of night photography is after sunset\, until before sunrise. This would include dusk\, and/or twilight\, which is after sunset. The after sunset/before sunrise is already in the definition. \nRoy Sewall Bio\nRoy’s interest in photography evolved from travel in six continents\, yet he found his own community to be one of the most photogenic locations in the world. \nFrom Roy’s interest in photography evolved from travel in six continents\, yet he found his own community to be one of the most photogenic locations in the world. \nFrom 2001 to 2009 Roy concentrated on capturing scenes of the Potomac River and the adjacent Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal. He then developed diverse bodies of work that include foreign and domestic destinations\, architecture and design\, people\, nature\, old places and things\, and abstracts. But since 2012 his foremost passion is his ongoing project called “Mysterra” – illusions that convey fantasy\, whimsy\, and spirits. \nRoy has done extensive work for private and commercial clients\, as well as Potomac River and C&O Canal-related government and non-profit organizations. \nRoy’s considers the ultimate destination for a photograph to be a large fine art print\, 12″ x 18″ or larger. He has exhibited in numerous DC-area group and one-person shows\, as well as in his own studio.
