SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery – Prints (Virtually): Getting to Know You with Susan Blalock\, Suzy McIntire and Terri Lannigan
DESCRIPTION:This evening will be an NVPS first: a Group Member’s Gallery featuring three of our newer and new to gallery presentation members. Susan Blalock\, Suzy McIntire and Terri Lannigan present three mini Member’s Galleries. \nSusan Blalock \nSusan got her love of photography from her grandfather and helped him develop photos for family holiday cards in his home darkroom which was located a closet under the stairs.  She purchased a digital camera several years ago and the pandemic gave her the opportunity to spend more time taking photos.  Finding NVPS was quite the happy accident for Susan when she started to look for a local camera club to join.  NVPS’ weekly meetings\, variety of speakers\, field trips\, and the mentor program were all interesting and last winter she decided to join the Club.  Since the Fall Susan has been working with mentor Will Friedman and so far their focus has been working on black and white images.  Willa’s guidance has helped Susan to improve how she sees images and improved the tonal range of her images.  Susan is still very much a “newbie” and she enjoys nature photography\, long exposure\, and macro\, but is not opposed to giving any genre a try. \n \n\n\n\n\n\nSuzy McIntire \nSuzy has had two wonderful mentors since she joined NVPS in 2019: Willa Friedman and Stan Bysshe. She can’t thank them enough for help to learn her Fuji\, how to shoot in RAW and use HDR and LightRoom\, how to choose a picture for competition\, and the importance of “knowing her bird.” There was excellent discussion of issues around street photography\, and some pictures even got competition awards\, although not when she didn’t listen to Willa. \n\n\n\n\n\nTerri Lannigan \nTerri was introduced to photography by her father\, an avid photographer of nature\, trains and automobiles.  They spent many hours hiking and capturing photos\, mostly landscape\, with her trusty Pentax K1000.  The cost of film was prohibitive during college and early professional years\, and photography fell by the wayside.  With the advent of digital photography\, and with young children\, Terri again picked up the camera for family events and vacations.  As the kids got older\, and time was more available to return to hiking and to devote to the craft of photography\, Terri was lucky to be encouraged by Georgette Grossman to join NVPS.  She hasn’t looked back!  Originally\, thinking that she would focus on mammals and landscape\, she found that vision difficult to realize for short weekend jaunts and ended up developing a love of birds\, insects and tree frogs.  NVPS has been a huge contributor to her growth as a photographer and she is looking forward to continuing to learn and grow through the many resources available here.

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery – Digital: People\, Places and Things with Greg Smith
DESCRIPTION:People\, Places and Things (but not in that order!) \nThis presentation is broken into three parts:  People (street photography)\, Things (that caught my eye) and Places (landscapes and places) from our travels over the last few years. \nGreg Smith Bio: \nEnthusiast to Opportunist to Hobbyist to “Something More”? \nGreg became familiar with photography from an early age.  His father\, serving in Ireland and Cyprus\, took many pictures throughout their many travels\, always considering angles and framing the subjects when he could\, and describing what and why as he did so.  Many a slide show was enjoyed!  \nGreg got his first SLR (Minolta) prior to deployment to the Mediterranean Sea with the Marines\, knowing there would be ample opportunities for pictures.  However\, it was when attempting to take a picture of the Duomo in Florence\, Italy he realized he needed a wide-angle zoom\, as he had to take the picture from 3 blocks away to get it all in!  He secured his lens at the Navy Exchange in Naples\, and so the enthusiast was hooked. \nWhen Greg’s wife upgraded her camera\, he took over her Nikon 5600 and began taking pictures again.  He was able to have a cup of coffee with a retired Marine who introduced him to NVPS\, showing him several amazing award-winning photographs.  K-12 invited Greg to visit a club meeting\, which he did\, along with his wife\, and shortly after they joined. \nSince joining NVPS he has enjoyed the inspiration of seeing amazing pictures\, the creativity of other members and the focused opportunities afforded by the themed competitions.   Taking more pictures led to upgrading to a Nikon D750\, and with the encouragement of his wife\, adopted shooting primarily in manual mode.  \nNow Greg enjoys shooting whatever he happens upon: birds and landscapes primarily\, and street photography when afforded the opportunity.  He is becoming more purposeful in his photography\, moving from just shooting snapshots to thinking about compositions and seeking out better environments for capturing images.  He and his wife Gitta are anticipating an RV trip to Denver\, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks\, with many stops along the way\, and hopefully will have many opportunities to expand his skills.
