SUMMARY:Member's Gallery: "Digital" with Paula Neumann and "Prints" with Georgette Grossman
DESCRIPTION:Paula Neumann\n A Week in Normandy \nPaula’s interest in photography has developed over time. Paula was definitely more comfortable with a point and shoot camera until relatively recently. Her first experience with an SLR was as team photographer for her daughter’s summer and high school swim teams. From 2000-2010 she took 10’s of 1000’s of photos at meets. She learned some basic Photoshop skills and posted images on team websites and provided images for end of season slideshows. When her daughter headed off to college in 2010\, Paula decided that she needed to develop a serious hobby to fill the void at home. She took three photography classes at the art league in Alexandria over the next 2 years and has been hooked on photography ever since. \nPaula joined the NVPS in 2013 after she retired from her 26 year career as a pathologist at Inova Alexandria Hospital. Her years behind the microscope have trained her to look at things carefully and critically\, to notice patterns and details. Her love of the outdoors and travel have provided her with ample photographic opportunities. She enjoys photographing flowers\, landscapes\, and architecture. She has become more adept at post-processing and primarily does this in Lightroom. She is currently using a Canon 7D Mark II camera. She uses her images to make travel books\, calendars and photo cards and shares them online. NVPS continues to be a valuable resource for education and growth. She enters the monthly competitions with regularity and has received a variety of awards\, but mostly she enjoys learning from the critiques of both her own and other members’ images. Paula’s goals in photography include branching out into portraiture and abstract imaging\, learning to be more patient with bird photography and learning to be more creative in post-processing. \nHer digital presentation is titled “A Week in Normandy” and is a collection of images from a recent trip to Normandy\, France. Normandy is a photographer’s delight with its long and varied history\, quaint villages and half-timbered buildings\, its beautiful countryside with apple orchards\, pastures\, fields and farms\, and its spectacular coastline and beaches. \n\n  \n  \nGeorgette Grossman\nUnder the Tuscan Sky \nTake a tour of Tuscany through my photographs. The scenery is remarkable. Light and shadows play on the wheat-field landscapes giving them velvety contours. Clouds billow against the blue skies. Colorful laundry hangs out windows to dry. Poppies and olive trees mingle in the fields. Cypress trees line the driveways. \nThese images were taken in May 2018 while I was on a landscape workshop with John Barclay and Rad Drew. \nGeorgette’s journey in photography began 12 years ago when her granddaughter\, Ava\, was born. Not capturing the cute smiles she wanted\, she switched from a point’n’shoot to a DSLR (Nikon D80). She attended her first Nature Visions show at Meadowlark in 2007 and discovered there were camera clubs in the area! She joined NVPS in January 2008 and was hooked on photography as a hobby. She was the president of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society (NVPS) from 2014 to 2015. \nGeorgette advanced her photography skills by taking hands-on classes. Some of her instructors included John Gonsalves\, Eliot Cohen\, Corey Hilz\, Nikhil Bahr\, Josh Taylor\, Mike Moats\, Don Rosenberger\, and Denise Silva. By attending NVPS lectures\, workshops\, and field trips she believes her photography has evolved to a higher level. Participation in competition has helped to give her a critical eye when capturing and post-processing her images. She reads online columns daily to keep “up to date” on new camera equipment and software tips. Recently Georgette switched from a Nikon D7200 camera to a Fuji X-Pro2 and a Fuji X-T3 to lighten her load.  \nGeorgette captures moments she wants to remember. Her subjects include abstracts\, people\, places\, and nature\, but her favorite subject is flower close-ups and macros. Lately she is dabbling more with B/W images. \nSeeing her images in print completes the photography journey. Georgette has shown her images at  \n\nThe Art League in Alexandria\, VA\, \nthe Glen Echo Annual Labor Day Art Show\, \nthe ArtSpace Herndon Fine Art Photography Exhibit\, \nNature Visions annual exhibit\, and \nthe Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit. \n\nFrom August–October\, 2018 she had a solo exhibit at Beanetics Coffee Roasters coffee shop in Annandale\, VA. It was entitled Under the Tuscan Sun. \nGeorgette’s images can be seen at http://pixels.com/profiles/georgette-grossman    \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Member’s Forum: "Page Arizona" with Judy Graham
DESCRIPTION:Judy Graham \nTitle: “Spend a Couple of Days in the Page\, AZ Area” \nDescription: If you are planning a photography trip to the American Southwest\, plan to spend a couple of days photographing the spectacular scenery surrounding the Page\, AZ area. \nIn the spring of 2010\, Judy Graham hired Charly Moore\, the owner of Overland Canyon Tours\, to guide her and a friend to a couple of remote locations near Page\, AZ for photography. At the time Judy was unemployed and was trying to decide what to do next with her life. She mentioned this to Charly and on the spot\, he offered her a summer job guiding photographers from all over the world for Overland Canyon Tours. That summer Judy packed up her camera gear and hiking clothes and moved temporarily to Page\, AZ.  She traded in an office for a 4-wheel drive Suburban to haul photographers and their camera equipment off-road. As a guide she led photographers in slot canyons on Navajoland and to remote jewels of the southwest\, such as the infamous Wave and White Pocket. She was also responsible for first aid\, water and food management\, and snake removal. \nJudy has lived in the Washington\, D.C. area most of her life.  She retired March 1\, 2018 after a long career in the field of human resources management for corporate America. Judy joined NVPS in January 2011 with the goal of meeting local photographers\, doing more local photography\, and learning more about the art of photography. While she remains primarily drawn to stark dramatic landscapes\, she’s learning to appreciate photographing what’s in her own backyard\, especially if it’s a chance to do so with one of her many NVPS friends. This past summer she participated in the NVPS Mentor Program learning macro flower photography. \nJudy currently shoots with a Canon 5D MK IV. Several of her photos of the southwest were featured on the front and back covers and the pages in between of Gateway to Canyon Country\, a glossy magazine distributed in northern Arizona to tourists who pass through the region. As for future plans\, she has trips lined up to photograph Arizona wildflowers in the spring\, to OBX to photograph the Milky Way in April\, and to Alaska in August 2019 where she will be staying at Camp Denali for a couple of days giving her access to parts of the park restricted to others.
