SUMMARY:Education & Training – Anonymous Critique by Bill Millhouser and Stan Bysshe
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThe NVPS Anonymous Critique is a great opportunity to get feedback on your images. The process is anonymous so you have nothing to lose. Examples of the kinds of images you might want to submit for critique include: \n\nImages you think are keepers but may need a little help\nExperiments with new processing techniques\nImages you are considering for competition (note: there are no guarantees you will win but the critique may help)\n\nThe sole purpose of the anonymous critique is to help you grow as a photographer. You will not be identified unless you identify yourself by making comments or asking questions about your images during the Zoom session. You also can use Zoom chat to send a direct message only to Education & Training Coordinator Lynn Cates and she will ask the question or make the comment for you. \nThe firm deadline for image submission is 6 p.m. on Friday\, October 29\, 2021 to allow time for David Crooks to anonymize the images and for Bill and Stan to review them before the November 9 meeting.  \nSubmitting Images \n\nYou can submit up to three images.\nPlease prioritize them for review 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\, Bill and Stan will critique as many images as time allows.)\nDo not put your name or the word “title” in the title of your images.\nSize your images the same as for competition:\n\njpeg images\nsRGB workspace\nMaximum of 1400 pixels wide and 1050 pixels high (vertical shots have the same 1050 pixel height requirement)\n127 pixels per inch (PPI\, sometimes called dots per inch or DPI) or less (e.g.\, 127\, 96 or 72 PPI)\n\n\nInclude “Anonymous Critique” in the subject line of your email\, and the name of each image in the text of the message.\nIf you send your images from Mac email\, be sure to select the “actual size” option from the “image size” menu in the upper right corner.\nSubmit your images to David Crooks at his email address provided in the October 15th and October 21st NVPS eBlasts.  Also\, please note that David’s email address is in the “Notices” section of all NVPS eBlasts beginning October 21st.\n\nQuestions?  Please contact the Education & Training Coordinator Lynn Cates (contact information can be found at Board Contacts.) \nBiographies: \nBill Millhouser  \nBill became interested in photography in the early 1970s\, starting with a used Yashica SLR moving on to a series of Canon film SLRs. In 2001\, Bill dove in the digital age and bought the Canon D30\, which had a rather modest 3.25 megapixel sensor and a blazing 3 FPS frame rate. \nSoon after retiring in 2010\, Bill attended his first photographic workshop in Costa Rica\, which exposed him to the wonderful variety and color of tropical birds and the proper use of big telephoto lenses (both on a tripod and handheld)\, the use of fill flash\, and the complexities of multi-flash setups to capture the beauty of the region’s many hummingbirds. His keen interest in wildlife and bird photography has since led him to visit many locations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region\, the West Coast\, New Mexico\, Florida\, Belize\, Central and South America\, as well as several trips to Africa\, \nSince joining NVPS\, Bill has served as the Field Trip Coordinator\, Co-VP of competition\, and President of the Club. \n  \n\nStan Bysshe \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 NVPS\, Stan was exposed to a whole new world of land based photography. Still nature remained a driving force behind his images. \nSince joining the club\, Stan has volunteered for Field Trips (twice)\, Competitions\, Mentoring and is a past President. For the past several years he has helped lead photo tours in Washington State\, Alaska and Yellowstone National Park. \nThis is his second Anonymous Critique\, and like most NVPS members he too is still searching for that magic image recipe that captures a viewer’s eye.

SUMMARY:Education & Training – “Street Photography” by Bob & Willa Friedman
DESCRIPTION:Description of Presentation: \nThis is a redo of our presentation in 2018.  Even tho we were in the middle of the pandemic there were still lots of possibilities. \nWikipedia says “Street photography is photography conducted for art or inquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places”. We have been doing that for a number of years.  The key word in the definition is: “public”; it need not be on the street. \nOur presentation will explain what you can do legally in public spaces\, as told by lawyers and court decisions. You do have the right to photograph in public places. \nThe “decisive moment” will be explored as shown by Henri Cartier-Bresson and other photographers\, famous\, not so famous\, and us! It’s not always what it seems. \nAlso\, getting over the reluctance to take street photos or fear of getting punched in the face will be discussed including safe and friendly places for street photography. There are interesting places where you can practice street photography\, sometimes even with the cooperation of your subjects. \n Bob & Willa Friedman Biographies: \n As a teenager\, Bob started his photography journey with a darkroom in his parent’s basement\, which he inherited from his brother. The first thing he did when we bought our house was to build a darkroom in the basement. \nWilla first became involved in photography as an instructor at the American Museum of Natural History in New York\, where she photographed wildlife in city parks for the NYC schools\, and her images were published in a fourth grade textbook.  \nIf selling a few photos makes us pros\, then we are pros. Otherwise we are advanced amateurs. We have taken courses and workshops at Photoworks at Glen Echo\, and with Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant in New Brunswick\, Canada. We have also had extensive courses in Photoshop. We have been members of NVPS for 12 years. \nOur subjects are varied\, but Bob does street photography and Willa finds reflections everywhere. Both use Fuji cameras with various lenses. \nOur current job is retirement — doesn’t pay very well but it is a lot more fun than the “W” word. We have multiple images in the Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections at the Smithsonian Institution\, Washington\, D.C. and have prints on display in various professional offices in the Metro DC area and in many private collections.
