SUMMARY:Field Trips: Capitol Hill Christmas Tree
DESCRIPTION:***Rescheduled to Sunday December 12th due to Saturday weather forecast of wet and windy*** \nThere’s nothing like getting into the holiday spirit than by visiting a giant tree decorated with lights.  In December\, we’ll visit the Capital Christmas Tree and surrounding area for an evening of photographic creativity.  There will be urban landscapes\, architecture\, light painting and more.  The monuments on the East side of the Mall are great at night. \nWhat: \nPhoto Credit: Rena Schild\nThe Capital Dome and Christmas tree will be our primary subjects\, however\, there’s lots of goodies around Capital Hill so feel free to explore the area.  The US Botanical Garden will also have their own outdoor holiday display (https://www.usbg.gov/plan-your-holiday-visit) that will be open until 5pm.  And don’t forget about the East side of the Capital Dome.  If it’s a wet evening\, you’ll likely find interesting (and fun) puddles on the pavement in front of the East side of the Capital.  Across 1st St. you have both the Library of Congress and Supreme Court for even more subjects.  If the Capital Dome is your thing\, maybe also check out the Upper and Lower Senate Park and look South for the dome.  There’s lots to see and do. \nSunset  4:47 p.m. (EST) \nEquipment: \n\nMost any lens with a range of 24-200mm will serve you well\, but other ranges will also work if you want to bring more glass. Maybe leave the super telephoto at home.  You don’t want to attract too much attention.\nGenerally speaking\, Capital police won’t allow tripods except on the land around the Christmas tree. National Park police are more forgiving.  If things are busy at the outdoor botanical garden display\, don’t be surprised if someone asks you not to use a tripod.  Politely accept their request and consider it permission to be more creative.\n\nWhen: \nSaturday\, December 11\, 2021 from 4:00pm – 7:30pmRain date on Sunday\, December 12\, 2021 from 4:00pm – 7:30pm \nWhere: \nPhoto Credit: Steven Glintz\nThere should be plenty of free parking at the end of Maryland Ave. (near the US Botanical Gardens).  If that lot is full\, try for the other lot at the end of Pennsylvania Ave.    If you’re still out of luck\, there is limited parking to the North along Louisiana Ave. (on the way to Union Station). \nWe’ll meet in front of the US Botanical Gardens building at 4:00pm.  That gives us an opportunity to enjoy each other’s company prior to the photo shoot.  It also gives us the option to capture a sunset if one materializes.  If you arrive early to explore the US Botanical Garden’s outdoor display\, please take a break and say “Hi\,” we’d love hear from you. \nWe hope you can join us! \nRena Schild and Steven GlintzField Trip Coordinators 2021-2022 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe photos below are by Steven Glintz.

SUMMARY:Education & Training – What to “See” in Architecture by Judy Guenther
DESCRIPTION:Judy will discuss her passion for architectural photography including challenges\, edit tips\, what works and doesn’t\, and how to really “work” an architectural subject beyond the snapshot by delving into lines\, patterns\, graphics\, and reflections. \nJudy admits to being primarily a travel photographer. She loves shooting a variety of subjects while traveling\, depending on where in the world she happens to be. From landscapes in the Palouse and National Parks\, to water and ice in Greenland and Antarctica\, to wildlife in South Georgia Island and Montana\, to local portraits and street photography\, and finally to amazing architecture. She didn’t start shooting anything other than snapshots until 10 years ago when her husband\, Wayne\, decided she was ready for a “big girl’s camera.” She has moved from all Nikon equipment to Olympus mirrorless equipment. She also loves using the cameras on her iPhone 12 Pro Max. She has been a member of NVPS since 2015\, is a member of the F11 Women’s Photography Collective\, the Art League in the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria\, and the Maryland Federation of Arts in Annapolis\, MD. She has received several awards including at the Nature Visions Expos (now Mid-Atlantic Photo Visions) People’s Choice Award in Photo Art and Best in Flower Photography in the Nature Category.
