In several “mini classrooms” set up in the firehall\, the following experienced club photographers will demonstrate the capabilities of common post-processing software and how those tools can be incorporated in your workflow:  \n\n\n\n\nMike Whalen:  Lightroom Classic and Topaz\n\n\n\nStan Bysshe:  Lightroom Classic\n\n\n\nGary Perlow:  Photoshop\n\n\n\nArt Rose:  Photoshop\n\n\n\nDavid Crooks:  Luminar Neo\n\n\n\nJim McDermott:  Nik plug-ins such as SilverEfx\n\n\n\nTom Schum:  FastStone\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis will be interactive\, so bring your questions! Do you have a particular image you are working on? Bring in your RAW file on a thumb drive\, and work with one or more of the presenters to enhance the image and successfully convey what caught your eye. \n\n\n\nWhether or not you enjoy post processing\, it is critical to achieving your vision in the final print and enhancing your skill as a photographer. So whether you are just starting with post processing or want to explore advanced Photoshop editing techniques\, bring your curiosity; we will see you on December 10! \n\n\n\nSilver FX Abandoned Building in Loudoun by Jim McDermott

SUMMARY:Field Trip:  Fireworks & Old Town at Night
DESCRIPTION:Want to enjoy shooting fireworks without fighting crowds or heat?  This field trip will give you that opportunity.  Every Saturday through the end of the year there is a fireworks show at National Harbor.  The show\, which begins at 5:30 p.m.\, lasts 5-10 minutes\, and will give all levels of fireworks photographers a chance to get shots of the fireworks with the Capital Wheel and National Harbor in the background. We will photograph the fireworks from across the river at Jones Point Park.  After the show is over we will drive a mile up the road and meet at the northwest corner of King and S. Fairfax Streets\, where we’ll start our walk to photograph Old Town at night\, which will be decked out for the holidays.  \n\n\n\nWhen:Saturday\, December 14 from 5:15 – 8:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nRain date: Sunday\, December 15 from 6-8:30 p.m. (without the fireworks\, meet in Old Town) \n\n\n\nWhere: \n\n\n\nJones Point Park \n\n\n\nJones Point Drive\, Alexandria\, VA \n\n\n\n(free parking: park as close to the water as possible; we will meet at the fishing pier visible from path underneath the Wilson Bridge next to the water’s edge) \n\n\n\nOld Town Alexandria \n\n\n\n(park at the Market Square garage at 108 N. Fairfax St. – $5 weekend flat fee – and walk out to the corner of King and S. Fairfax Streets; we will meet there) \n\n\n\nEquipment and Notes: \n\n\n\nFor the fireworks\, a 24-70mm or a 28-300 or similar lens will work well.  (No wide angle is needed given the distance we will be from the fireworks). Either will also work for the Old Town shots unless you want to shoot handheld\, in which case you should bring a prime with good glass. Tripods are necessary for the fireworks and encouraged for Old Town.

SUMMARY:Competition: (Zoom) Theme - Motion with Judge Deborah Loeb Bohren
DESCRIPTION:The offspring of two photographers\, I’m convinced my passion for photography is imprinted on my DNA and I can’t remember when photography wasn’t a part of my life. \n\n\n\nFor me\, the essence of photography is the art and science of painting with light. I wield my camera like a paintbrush and think of my work as visual alchemy: the transformation not of matter into gold but rather of light\, color and line into images. Minimalism\, abstraction\, multiple exposure and ICM are essential tools of my alchemy. These work in ways that are simultaneously controllable and unpredictable\, allowing me to challenge reality and capture a feeling or impression rather than the reality of what lies in front of my lens. Patience\, experimentation and the benevolence of the photography gods are also integral to my work. \n\n\n\nMy work is part of individual and corporate collections\, including the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center\, and has been exhibited across the US and internationally at New York’s Soho Photo Gallery\, the Sohn and Cousen Rose galleries in Massachusetts\, and at the Horsebridge Arts Centre in Whitstable\, Kent\, among others.   \n\n\n\nwww.travelinglensphoto.com
