SUMMARY:Programs: From Wildfires to the Marianas Trench with Mark Thiessen
DESCRIPTION:A National Geographic staff photographer since 1990\, Mark Thiessen has published numerous feature stories and covers for National Geographic magazine and other National Geographic publications on subjects ranging from Peruvian mummies to the study of human performance.   \nIn 1996\, Thiessen began a personal photography project on Wildland firefighters that took him to the front lines of this phenomenon every summer that led to NGM feature stories on Russian Smokejumpers and recently Alaskan Smokejumpers. Mark’s photographs for the July 2008 National Geographic cover story “Under Fire: Why the West Is Burning” earned first-place recognition by Pictures of the Year International. \nMark documented film director James Cameron’s dive to the ocean’s deepest location at the bottom of the Mariana (or Marianas) Trench. Mark also directs the National Geographic photo studio.

SUMMARY:Education & Training – Floral Photography with Passion and "Joie de Vivre" by Padma Inguva
DESCRIPTION:Description of Presentation: \nPadma will share information about some of her techniques in creating stunning flower portraits. These techniques include photographing flowers on Lightbox\, multiple exposures both in Camera and via Photoshop\, applying textures to floral images\, selective focus\, blurred backgrounds\, compositional elements\, backlighting\, and bokeh! This program also includes tips on processing colors which are considered difficult to photograph\, like red and purple. \nArtist Statement:  \nMy goal as a photographer is to get people to slow down\, unite with the natural world and absorb the beauty of flowers\, create an oasis in this rapid\, constantly demanding stressful daily life. There is no better way to escape this running-around than spending time looking through a lens. I want to set people on a path of inspiration\, hope\, joy\, and love that comes from an appreciation of these tiny treasures all around us. It gives me immense joy in taking you down a beautiful journey into flowers through my lens where you admire and observe flowers with a whole new perspective and create art that lasts far longer than the flower itself. \n

SUMMARY:Willing Warriors Project – Open House For NVPS Members
DESCRIPTION:I’m pleased to report that the Willing Warriors Retreat has invited all NVPS members to attend an open house on October 14\, 2021\, at 10:00 am. For new members\, Willing Warriors is a retreat in Haymarket\, VA providing an extended weekend for our veterans and their families recovering from service-related injuries. The facility is located at 16013 Waterfall Road\, Haymarket\, VA\, and the web site is Willing Warriors. For the past two years\, NVPS club members have been contributing photographs to decorate the walls of the two houses that comprise the retreat. To date we have installed approximately 95 images in the PenFed house thus completing this facility. We have also installed the first photographs in the Lang house. The open house event will include a presentation of the history of the Willing Warriors Program and a tour of the PenFed and Lang houses allowing you to see the installed work and the locations for future contributions. \nFor the Lang house the following types of images are still desired:• Flower fields or closeups • U.S. “Country” towns or villages• U.S. old barns or buildings• Images of U.S. cities• Regional images of the DC urban areas• Modern U.S military (all services) images for a collage in the game room • Two large images of open subjects • U.S. Waterfalls \nAs a reminder\, donated photographs should be matted and framed to be no smaller than 11×14 dimensions (16×20 and 18×24 framed sizes are very desirable). There are walls that could benefit from more significantly sized images so\,  if the photographer wishes\, larger images such as canvas wraps or metal prints would also be useful.  \nIf you have several pictures to consider\, please send JPEGs in the NVPS electronic format (127 ppi\, horizontal images to be 1400 pixels wide or vertical images to be 1040 pixels tall) to me at willingwarriors@nvps.org. I can then review them with the retreat’s representative to confirm selections.  \nWhen you have a finished a piece\, just contact me at the above email to arrange a time and location for an exchange. Photographs of installed images are sent to the contributing photographer and posted in the NVPS Willing Warriors Gallery to share with all our members. \nThe contributions from NVPS have been much appreciated by the Willing Warriors staff\, directors and most importantly the veterans and their families. \nThanks again. \nJim SinsheimerNVPS Willing Warriors Project Coordinator

SUMMARY:Competition with Judge Greg Holden – No Theme\, Open
DESCRIPTION:Competition Theme: Open within the past three (3) years \nGreg Holden is a photographer from Longmont\, Co who uses his photography to share with others how he sees the world. Greg enjoys being outside hiking in parks and looking for nature’s creations to photograph.  He looks for interesting patterns or textures in trees and rocks to form creative photos that make the viewer think.  It is these little scenes often overlooked by others are the ones that fuel his creativity.  Although he won’t pass by a chance to photograph a beautiful landscape or a tranquil sunset\, he’d rather be exploring abandoned places and capturing the details of the layers of paint and rust on a discarded automobile. \nGreg is president of his camera club in Colorado\, the St. Vrain Photographic Society.  He enjoys teaching others and sharing his passion for photography and continues to speak and judge\, virtually\, at clubs throughout the MD and VA areas. You can see Greg’s work on his website imagesunderfoot.com

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery – Prints (Virtually): Love is in the Air with Bob Friedman
DESCRIPTION:The gallery that Bob will share with us are photos of people showing love. \nBob Friedman – Bio \nAs a teenager\, Bob started his photography journey with a basement darkroom he inherited from his brother. He enjoyed printing and did his first composite when he was 17 years old.  He put a friend’s girlfriend’s head on a nude model.  We thought it was funny but the girlfriend did not and they broke up. \nThe first thing he did when he bought a house was to build a darkroom in the basement. \nHe joined the Art League about 8 years ago and has been juried into many monthly shows and even received a Best in Show in an exhibit. \nHe has taken courses and workshops at Photoworks at Glen Echo\, and with Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant in New Brunswick\, Canada\, He has also had extensive courses in Photoshop. He has been a member of NVPS for over 15 years. \nHe has multiple images in the Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections at the Smithsonian Institution\, Washington\, D.C. and has prints on display in various professional offices in the Metro DC area\, a Congressional office and in many private collections. \nHis current passion is street photography.  Difficult in these times\, but possible as shown in his photos in NVPS Members Gallery. \n

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery – Digital: Whimsy\, and Other Odd Bits with Tim Brown
DESCRIPTION:Tim’s Gallery\, Whimsy\, and Other Odd Bits\, is a collection of photos of the kinds of things you don’t see every day. \nTim Brown entered the world of photography gradually after several decades of a life with no apparent artistic interest or talent. Occasional attempts to capture interesting scenes on film\, especially in the desert southwest\, rarely succeeded. The three key threshold events that most significantly advanced Tim’s photography skills and interest are: \n\nGetting a digital camera in 2004\, which enabled unlimited experimentation.\nGetting Adobe Lightroom in 2016\, which provided new life for many pictures previously thought to be worthless.\nJoining the Northern Virginia Photographic Society in 2018\, which opened up an avenue to helpful feedback that boosted both enthusiasm and results.\n\n

SUMMARY:Member’s Forum – Florida\, for the Birds with Stan Bysshe
DESCRIPTION:Florida\, for the Birds. \n As a nature photographer\, Stan is continually striving to improve his bird photography. From Warblers to Raptors\, one recurring helpful strategy has been to seek out target rich areas to practice capturing avian behavior. Florida is certainly one of those areas. It would be impossible to cover all the places Stan has visited in Florida but he will cover some of his favorite spots and share some of the tricks he has picked up during his adventures. \nBio \nStan’s photographic journey started in the 1960s with a hand me down Nikkormat. But because of his love for scuba diving and marine tropical reef ecology\, his equipment and images became dedicated to underwater nature. By 2010 it was time to hang up the fins and when he joined Northern Virginia Photographic Society\, Stan was exposed to a whole new world of land based photography. Still nature remained a driving force behind his images. \nAt NVPS Stan has served on multiple committees and is a Past President. He has given multiple talks to NVPS and to several local photo clubs as well.
