SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery – Prints (Virtually): Abstracts – Just for Fun with Joan Barker
DESCRIPTION:This gallery presentation will showcase how much Joan enjoys using Camera Motion and computer manipulation to create images beyond reality. \nJoan joined NVPS in 2015.  Although Joan has always enjoyed photographing family and places she visited\, she was not sure that she would enjoy being a part of a photography club.  Joan was using a point and shoot camera at the time and knew nothing about F stop\, Shutter Speed\, or ISO.  Needless to say Joan has learned a lot in the past 7 years and now shoots with the mirrorless Fuji X-T3. \nShe enjoys shooting landscapes\, flowers\, and abstracts.  She loves doing post processing on the computer as it encourages her creative juices.  This naturally led to her interest in abstracts as there are so many opportunities to manipulate an image digitally. During the pandemic\, she joined her churches’ photographic team and spent many hours safely documenting their events both outdoors and eventually inside as well.  \nJoan was an educator and taught elementary school before her children were born. After kids\, she chose part time teaching and eventually administration in Early Childhood.  \nYes\, Joan is happy she joined NVPS as the group has inspired her to try new techniques and enabled her to enjoy the works of so many excellent photographers.

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery – Digital: Flower Photography with Georgette Grossman
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is all about FLOWERS…some photographed in nature\, some in a studio setting\, and some captured in grocery stores with my cell phone! Each flower has its own personality and I love photographing their beauty.  \nBio: \nGeorgette Grossman’s love of photography began in earnest when her granddaughter\, Ava\, was born in 2006. Before then she had played with point’n’shoot cameras but never understood what was really going on inside the “box.” The following year\, when Ava began to move around faster than her point’n’shoot could capture her smiles\, it was time to buy and learn how to use a DSLR (Nikon D80 was her first). Georgette took a class through Fairfax County Adult Ed. Her first instructor\, John Gonsalves\, was wonderful. He told the class on the first day of instruction that we all had expensive cameras with lots of automatic features\, but we were going to learn how to shoot manual! Initially the class was terrified\, but somehow the concept of aperture\, shutter speed\, and exposure fell into place. Tell a story he would say; fill the frame! Georgette’s journey in photography had begun. \nGeorgette learned about the Northern Virginia Photographic Society (NVPS) at Meadowlark in February\, 2008 and she joined shortly thereafter. The club was a source of endless people who LOVED photography as much as she did—folks who were willing to share their talents to help her improve her photography. The meetings provided wonderful programs and hands-on workshops that made learning fun. \nGeorgette especially remembers participating in a Portfolio Project where Joe Miller announced that in this day of digital technology almost anyone could take a decent picture\, but it took effort to capture great images. What a true statement! Monthly competition became a way to learn what makes an image better. Watching everyone’s images being critiqued\, became a useful learning experience. \nIn 2010 Georgette was elected the Secretary/Historian for NVPS. She was elected the president of NVPS for the 2014-2015 term and has served as an Advisor to the Board ever since. \nShe photographed with a variety of Nikon DSLR’s but switched to mirrorless Fuji in 2016. Currently she uses the Fuji X-T3 and loves the fact that she can “see” what the image will look like before she presses the trigger. She also photographs with her Pixel 6 cell phone camera. \nGeorgette uses her photography to share her vision of the world with others. She captures moments she wants to remember; her subjects include abstracts\, people\, places\, nature. Flowers are a favorite. During the COVID pandemic she did not get out to photograph much\, but\, every time she grocery shopped she captured the flowers in the Giant and practiced various post-processing techniques in Lightroom\, Photoshop\, DXO Nik\, and Topaz Studio 2. Some of those images are in her presentation. \nShe had a solo exhibit at Beanetics Coffee Roasters coffee shop in Annandale\, VA. . Her images\, A Man and his Dog and Quiet Lunch were selected for Volume 31 of The Northern Virginia Review\, Spring 2017. Her image African Daisy was the cover image in The Washington Gardener Magazine in 2019. Georgette has exhibited her images at The Art League in Alexandria\, VA\, the Glen Echo Annual Labor Day Art Show\, the ArtSpace Herndon Fine Art Photography Exhibit\, Mid-Atlantic Photo Visions Expo annual exhibit\, Washington Gardener Magazine\, and the Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit.
