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 Gallery: Digital with Kevin Linde;  Prints with Kevin Egan
DESCRIPTION:I was born and raised in Johannesburg\, South Africa and moved to Canada in 1992 where I met my wonderful wife\, Debby. In 1998 we moved to Northern Virginia with our 2-year-old son\, Ryan. Our second son\, Jared\, was born in 1999 when we moved into our current house in Fairfax. My boys are now in college\, with one at the University of Alabama and the other at George Mason. We also have two dogs that are wonderful photography subjects. I currently work as a physical therapist at my own private clinic\, which I founded in 2003\, in Fairfax City. I became interested in photography about 13 years ago when I bought my first Canon DSLR. Prior to that I had a Pentax SLR\, which I owned for about 5 years prior to switching to digital. I learned the basics with this camera but was never that interested in photography. The change to digital provided instant feedback\, which allowed me to learn beyond the basics a lot faster. I also enjoyed the post processing which I am constantly learning to this day. I currently use Canon equipment that I have accumulated over the years. My favorite subject to shoot is motor racing\, which is influenced by my interest in the sport. Not far behind is anything else interesting to shoot. The great thing about photography is that you can take a photo of almost anything out there and make it something unique. I have been a member of NVPS for only one year but have enjoyed meeting some wonderful people and some great photographers. I enjoy sharing my photos but also enjoy seeing the great talent of others. I am not sure at this point in time where my photography may take me but until then I will continue to learn as much as I can and will never stop learning. \n   \n \n \n \n————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————\nKevin Egan \nKevin has been enjoying the art of photography since his dad allowed him to waste a few rolls of film with his old brownie camera many moons ago.  He was a very active photographer in high school and in the early years of college\, but putting himself through college proved an expensive ordeal and he was eventually forced to sell his camera and concentrate on school. \nThen an amazing thing happened – the digital sensor was created and the age of digital photography began.  Once the price of digital cameras came down\, and the sensors became better\, Kevin once again began to dabble in his photographic passion.  Somewhere around 2010\, Kevin began searching for a photo club that would afford him a chance to rub elbows with others with the same passion\, and he finally found a home here at NVPS! \nKevin loves to try to create digital art\, and although he loves to shoot rust and chrome\, his interests are not concentrated only in that area.  He loves to shoot waterfalls\, landscapes\, cityscapes\, and streetscapes. \nKevin shoots Canon and has done so for many years\, currently learning to make the most of his 5D Mark IV.   \nIn his real life\, Kevin works for US Customs and keeps the IT equipment working for their facilities overseas.  He hopes to be able to retire someday\, so that he can concentrate on the important stuff – like photography! \n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery: Digital – Steve Glintz – Print – Christine Tran
DESCRIPTION:Steve Glintz\nTwo Hour Images by Steve Glintz\nSteven graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in Computer Science and currently works in Northern Virginia as a software engineer.  For fourteen years\, Steven has supported the U.S. Navy and its allies through the development of air defense simulations and trainers and modernizing tactical control systems on-board submarines.  For the past six years\, Steven has been supporting the intelligence community. \n\n \nSteven spends his free weekends with his Nikon D800e capturing landscape\, architecture\, street\, long exposure\, and wildlife images.  He also enjoys creating macro and other abstract images in his make shift studio at home.  Post processing involves a combination of Adobe Lightroom for cropping\, color\, and dynamic range corrections.  He also uses Photoshop for heavy lifting such as focus stacking\, photo stitching\, and the occasional elimination of unwanted distractions such as dust spots.\n \nSteven has been a member of NVPS for 8 years.  During that time\, he has served the club in various capacities ranging from web maintenance\, digital competition preparation\, backup laptop operator\, and lending a helping hand at every meeting.  Besides attending programs and competitions at NVPS\, outside influences such as periodicals published by Digital Photographer and Digital Camera World as well as Bryan Peterson’s Understanding Exposure and Learning to See Creatively and Freeman Patterson’s Photographing the World Around You have tutored him through his early years.\n \nLast year\, Steven completed his first portfolio on Washington’s National Cathedral.  Two years prior to that\, Steven captured images of Western Ireland and the hilltowns of central Italy and Venice.  Fortunately\, Steven’s presentation demonstrates the wide variety of photographic opportunities available to local residents of the Washington metropolitan area who do not need to spend a lot of money on travel.  No matter your interest\, budding photographers are guaranteed a winning image in less than a two hour drive.\n \n\n \n \nLike Old Cheese and Wine by Christine Tran\n\n\nPeople like to take pictures of beautiful flowers and they tend to forget the wilted and droopy ones. To Christine each stage of the life cycle has it’s own beauty. These are the ” mature” flowers through her lens.\n \nAs an amateur photographer\, Christine started photography in 2014 with a Canon 70D. She has a particular fascination for macro and landscape photography. She is currently shooting with a Canon 5D Mark III and just bought a Fuji XT-2 for her upcoming trip to Vietnam in October. Christine joined NVPS in  February 2015.
