SUMMARY:Member's Gallery: "Prints" with Roger Lancaster; "Digital" with Chuck Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Member: Roger Lancaster –  “Scene From My Eyes” \nBio for Roger Lancaster \nA native of Western Canada\, Roger first handled a camera when he was 6 years old when his grandfather\, a photo journalist\, let him use his old fold up camera. But it was not until he retired as an association executive 10 years ago that he took a serious interest in the craft. He sees photography\, not just as a record of events in life\, but an opportunity to bring the outdoors inside for all to enjoy. He also sees it as an opportunity to bring out his creative side\, and enjoys the artistic side of processing images as much as he does in capturing the photo. \nRoger initially shot landscape images\, but in recent years has gravitated to a more eclectic style with macro photography\, and experimenting with monochromatic processing of images. \nRoger has received numerous awards for his photography\, including the Best of Loudoun photo for two years running at the Waterford Fair\, an award sponsored by the Loudoun Now newspaper. A number of his images have been juried into Nature Visions Photo Expo. Many of his images have appeared in both popular and photographic journals and he has been the featured photographer in several issues of Grand Strand magazine\, a popular South Carolina based publication. Many of his images can be found in private collections. \nRoger has been an active member of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society since 2008. He has also just completed a 2 year term as President of the Nature Visions Photo Expo\, the premier nature photography expo in the Mid-Atlantic region. He currently uses a Nikon D500 as his primary camera\, although he has 3 other Nikons as spares. For processing he uses Lightroom and Photoshop\, and uses numerous filters\, especially the Topaz series. \nRoger and his wife Bunny live in Waterford and invite any members of NVPS who want to enjoy shooting photos in the outdoors to come and visit. \n    \n\nMember: Chuck Campbell – “A Shot in the Dark” \nDescription: This presentation is a compilation of outdoor images which were shot after sunset and before sunrise.  Most of the images were shot with a slow shutter speed to compensate for the lack of natural light.  And many of the images contain colorful artificial light and water reflections.   \nBio: Chuck Campbell is a long-time NVPS member and volunteer.  He enjoys the quiet solitude of shooting images long after others have gone home for the evening or before they wake up and get in the way of a good shot. When traveling\, Chuck always takes a tripod because he knows he will be taking many shots in the dark.  Unfortunately\, as he traveled across Europe and the U.S.\, he has missed many good meals with his wife as he waited for just the right blue-hour light.  With this presentation\, he will happily share those lonely\, hunger-induced images with you. \n  \n  \n  \n    \n

SUMMARY:Education & Training: "Anonymous Critique" with Willa Friedman and Ron Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Take this opportunity to get feedback on your images. Submit images you are experimenting on with new software; images that need just a little help\, and/or images you may consider for a competition. The sole purpose of anonymous critique is to help you grow as a photographer.  You will not be identified unless you choose to make comments or ask questions about your images.  \nThe firm deadline for image submission is 6 p.m. on Tuesday\, April 2\, to allow time for our computer team to anonymize the images and for Willa and Ron to review them before the April 9 meeting.   \nYou can submit up to three images.  Please prioritize them 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\, Willa and Ron will critique as many images as time allows. \nPlease submit your images to critique@nvps.org\, sized the same as for competition:  jpeg images with a maximum of 1400 pixels wide and 1050 pixels high (vertical shots have the same 1050 pixel height requirement)\, sRGB workspace. We recommend your images be set to 127 pixels per inch (PPI\, sometimes called dots per inch or DPI) or less (e.g.\, 127\, 96 or 72 PPI) for best results with our projector.  If you send the images from Mac mail\, please select the “actual size” option from the “image size” menu in the upper right corner. \nQuestions?  Please contact the Education and Training Coordinator\, Eva Lanyi\, at education@nvps.org.

SUMMARY:Programs: "Self Critiquing & Developing Your Style" by Alan Sislen
DESCRIPTION:Alan Sislen Bio:\nAs photographers\, we often find ourselves in the role of self-critiquer and evaluator. It’s clearly a case of learning by doing\, but there are many skills and techniques that can help us become better self-critiquers and evaluators of our own images\, and ultimately\, we will even become better photographers. \nFrequently you find yourself in situations where you will be evaluating and self-critiquing your images – making choices of images to submit to a competition or an exhibit; editing down hundreds\, or even thousands of images after a successful photo excursion or workshop; deciding which of your recent “favorites” are worth taking the extensive time and effort to thoroughly edit and print; deciding which of your images to include in the galleries on your website\, on Facebook\, or on Instagram.\nImage evaluation and self-critiquing are intertwined and challenging\, but it is a topic rarely discussed. We can become better at this unique skill with awareness and practice! Once you’ve narrowed down your selection to a “reasonable number\,” you’ll want to use those same skills to objectively evaluate each image for processing so that you are not just randomly trying different edits\, hoping you will end up with the ideal image? How do you look at your “raw” material to decide if the image has the potential\, with thoughtful processing\, to be the image you imagined? For image processing\, honing your skills of evaluation and self-critiquing are critical and will save you hours and hours of time.\nThis presentation will be filled with dozens and dozens of real images\, evaluations\, and decisions. Alan will lead you through his process and the techniques he uses to make this critically important\, but rarely discussed part of the photographic workflow come alive.

SUMMARY:Member's Forum: "Papua New Guinea" with Kathryn Mohrman
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Mohrman will be the speaker for our March Member’s Forum She will talk about a recent trip to Papua New Guinea.  \nAfter more than 40 years as a teacher\, administrator\, and college president\, she has turned to photography as her main focus in retirement. Her love of travel allows her to explore cultures across five continents and to share observations with the viewers of her images.  Since most people will not have an opportunity to travel to Bhutan or Kenya or Papua New Guinea\, Kathryn considers her photographs as an extension of her career in teaching.  She hope that these images convey a sense of our shared humanity as well as a celebration of the many different ways in which people around the world create art\, worship their gods\, and live their daily lives. \nCheck out some of Kathryn’s images from Papua New Guinea. \n    \n

SUMMARY:Member's Gallery: "Prints" with Clark & Joan Barker; "Digital" with Judy McGuire
DESCRIPTION:NEAR AND FAR (Clark and Joan Barker) \nClark Barker \nClark’s photographic experience has mostly been as a tourist taking snapshots of interesting places visited and photos of his son and daughter when they were children.  After retirement as a staff analyst from the Navy Comptroller Clark and wife Joan have taken several overseas trips with organized tour groups. The use of tripods was not an option and the lighting was “as is” during bus stops and city tours. A fair number of photos were taken through a bus window. \nClark’s first “real” camera was a used 35mm fixed lens Voigtlander followed by a Minolta SRT101 when he became gainfully employed after college.  After a couple more Minoltas\, mostly using slide film\, he entered the digital age with an 8 megapixel Olympus\, followed by several Canon cameras.  He currently uses a Canon 5Dmk3 with Canon lenses. Most of the pre-digital photos became 35mm slides. \nClark used Photoshop Elements to process and print digital images for many years\, upgrading to Lightroom/Photoshop CC after joining NVPS four years ago.  He attributes improvements in technical skills and composition to NVPS and was the class two color print Photographer of the Year for 2016-2017. He cuts his own mats and does his own printing\, currently with an Epson P800 printer and his favorite paper is Ilford Gold Fibre Silk.  \nHe enjoys taking travel photos\, especially landscapes\, but has begun exploring other types of photography such as wildlife and macro since joining NVPS. \nJoan Barker \nAlthough Joan has always enjoyed photographing family and places they 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 4 years.  She now shoots with a mirrorless Panasonic Luminx Micro 4/3 camera and finally understands how to get off auto.  \nShe enjoys shooting landscapes\, flowers\, and abstracts.  Joan has surprised herself with the success she has had in the monthly competitions from the very beginning.  She loves doing post processing on the computer as it encourages her creative juices.  \nBeing retired gives her more time to pursue many interests and Joan is  pleased to add that photography is now one of them.  Joan 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.  \nClark and Joan have two children\, a girl and boy\, and 3 grandkids.  They are favorite subjects to shoot for both of them.  In the future she would like to continue to improve her technical skills while keeping the creative side as a big part of what she does.  Joan is interested in becoming more proficient in monochrome photography. She appreciates all the help she receives from Clark and her two Mentors\, Willa and Willa.  Joan has learned a lot from these ladies reinforcing what Clark tries to teach her at home.   \nYes\, Joan is glad she joined as she enjoys the people and the programs but especially the competitions.  So much thanks to Bill Vanderpool and Nancy Dubiell for their encouragement to join NVSP. \n   \n\nTitle: Highlighting Varied Subjects \nDescription: Judy’s show will feature photos of varied subjects taken in the last couple years.  A number of locations will be highlighted\, many of them just a day trip away. \nBio: Judy McGuire became interested in photography and travel when she was 10 and took her first road trip to the western states with her family and her Kodak Brownie camera. She took snapshots documenting family\, friends\, pets and travels for many years before getting a Nikon SLR for slide photography\, and currently shoots with a Nikon D7200. \nSince she joined NVPS in 2001\, the club’s activities and members have been a constant inspiration for learning and improving her photography. Judy believes regular practice is critical to developing skills – as she tried to impress on young students during her many years of teaching piano. But in photography – as well in music – another part of the experience is enjoying the results! \nJudy is most interested in travel and nature photography and loves to photograph anywhere\, searching out back roads as well as obvious sites. She enjoys giving slide shows for various groups\, and makes calendars and note cards using her photographs. Her work has been juried into Nature Visions and the Joseph Miller Abstract Exhibits\, and published in Virginia Wildlife Magazine. She has won a number of awards in NVPS competitions\, including Slide of the Year\, Advanced Digital Image of the Year and Advanced Digital Photographer of the year three times.

SUMMARY:Field-Trip: Truck Graveyard
DESCRIPTION:The “Truck Graveyard” is the destination for our March 23rd Field Trip. The Graveyard is situated on the property of the PL Duncan Company located at 2 Duncan Store Road in Columbia Virginia. Travel time from the Beltway is approximately 2 3⁄4 hours primarily on Routes 66\, 29 and 15 South. About 60 vintage (mid 20th century) vehicles in various states of decay are scattered among the several acres of wooded area\, open fields and under the roof of some quite dilapidated storage buildings. As morning light is preferable we should plan to start our shoot at 9:00 AM. As Columbia\, VA is quite a schlep from N. VA\, we encourage your early sign up to facilitate forming carpools. \nOne further note: there are no facilities within 20-minutes of the truck graveyard. Plan to make a pit-stop somewhere along the way.\nCheck out images previously taken at the Graveyard: https://nvps.smugmug.com/NVPSGallery/Field-Trips/2013-2014-Field-Trips/Truck-Graveyard/

SUMMARY:Programs: "Portraits" with Catherine Simmons
DESCRIPTION:Presentation Description\nCatherine is going to be sharing on the topic of Family and Child Photography. This is a broad topic ranging from formal family portraits to candid snapshots for the family album. Catherine will present information and ideas on how to capture images that embody both sentiment and artistry. You’ll learn how to improve your technical and artistic approach to photographing children of all ages. Catherine will break down the differences among portraiture\, lifestyle\, and snapshots and how to approach each one strategically and with intent. \nPerhaps you are a grandparent wanting to photograph your adorable\, but very busy toddler grandchild\, or you’re a parent trying to take your high school senior’s pictures for a graduation party invite. Maybe you are an aunt or uncle trying to document a family vacation at the beach\, or perhaps you are a retired hobbyist who is always being asked to take pictures at special family events and social gatherings. No matter what your specific need may be\, you are sure to walk away with a new level of understanding when it comes to photographing children and families in any context. \nBio\nCatherine is both a seasoned mom and photographer. She began her journey into photography after the birth of her sixth child in 2009. Her children’s ages range from 21 down to 9 years old. As a busy mom\, photography became a way for her to engage with her children\, enjoy her creative appetite for making art\, and document the fleeting years as they passed so quickly. After taking several photography classes at her local community college\, she realized that her hobby was quickly turning into an obsession. She spent the next five years photographing families and their children as a small business on the side. \nAfter moving to Vienna\, Austria in January of 2017\, Catherine decided to begin earning her Master’s in Fine Arts in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design through their e-learning program. While living in Vienna\, Catherine tasted the world of travel photography throughout Europe as well as taught workshops for the United Nations Photography Club.  She earned the first place in the 2017 UNPC Annual Photo Competition as well as in several monthly competitions. \nUpon returning to the States\, Catherine transitioned into the studio where she now is both a Fine Art and Commercial portrait photographer. Additionally\, Catherine teaches workshops on Beginning Portraiture\, Family and Child Photography\, and Editing Portraiture in Photoshop for Capital Photography Center. While her expertise is in the studio\, she continues to shoot families as well as educate others on the wonderful and most joyful experience of photographing children and their families. \n      \n

SUMMARY:Members Gallery: "Prints" with Stan Bysshe; "Digital" with Tom Schum
DESCRIPTION:Stay Photographically Nimble\, Find Your Go To Place By Stan Bysshe \nWe all love to take pictures. I’d like to think that over the last forty years I have learned something about photography but I keep finding new ways to improve. Traveling to far off photogenic destinations can be inspiring\, but those trips\, for me\, are often separated by long time gaps. So the challenge becomes how to stay photographically nimble. When I was photographing primarily underwater\, I loved to visit the same reef time and again. Now\, shooting exclusively on land\, I have found my go to location near my home\, Huntley Meadows. Of course I travel locally to other spots\, but I try to get to Huntley at least once a week. Some mornings nature surprises me\, some mornings are slow\, but in every instance I have a camera in my hands and I have to deal with the conditions and subjects as they present themselves. Besides being outdoors\, I love that my time at Huntley is spent finding a special moment in nature and trying to capture it.  \nAll images were taken either with a Nikon D5 or D500. All were on a tripod and with one of two lenses\, Nikon 80-400mm and Nikon 500mm f4.  \nI love to print but try to keep it simple. I use an Epson Sure Color P800 with Epson papers\, pre cut mats and mat boards. \n    \n\nTom Schum (tomschumelectronics.com) Bio\nSince I was a teenager\, photography has been a hobby.  I shot and developed and printed monochrome 35mm in 1967-1970\, but took a long break to raise a family and pursue an electronics engineering career. \nLate in my career I was able to re-start the photography hobby\, this time digital.  After having a great time with a pocket Minolta Dimage X\, I bought a Canon 30D in 2004 and a Sigma point and shoot in 2006.  This was followed by more Sigmas and eventually some Fuji cameras. \nNow that I am retired I welcome lots of uncommitted time\, the ultimate luxury.  What better way to spend it than to aimlessly wander around town acting like a tourist? \nBy the time I retired\, I had spent way too much time sitting in front of the computer processing hobby images.  I concluded I don’t need to learn more about this end of photography. While I like to look at some of the arty images done by the many gifted members of this club\, I prefer to leave electric wires\, visual clutter\, litter\, and bird poop in my own images.  I like the authenticity. \nI like to watch and listen as the latest Lightroom and Photoshop techniques are ably explained and demonstrated in full detail at the NVPS meetings.  And\, I especially like not having to remember any of it. I’m not progressing in my technical skills. It’s too much like work! \nMy photographic vision is similarly hap-hazardous\, but every hundred or so snaps I get a keeper.  I even print now and then. I used to have an Epson R2000 but threw it out after years spent buying way too many ink cartridges.  I can highly recommend Nations Photo Labs on the web\, so long as you turn off their “color correction”. \nSo\, I don’t really have a photographic vision\, only just to shoot and enjoy. \nI like landscape\, street (if I can avoid bothering anybody)\, some wildlife\, standard tourist type photos and\, of course\, grandchildren (one so far). \nI joined NVPS in 2017 and prefer to shoot my Fuji X-T100 with manual lenses.  I have no future goals or plans for the development of my photography. \n    \n

SUMMARY:Competition: "No Theme" with Judge Roy Sewall
DESCRIPTION:Roy Sewall Bio\nRoy’s interest in photography evolved from travel in six continents\, yet he found his own community to be one of the most photogenic locations in the world. \nFrom Roy’s interest in photography evolved from travel in six continents\, yet he found his own community to be one of the most photogenic locations in the world. \nFrom 2001 to 2009 Roy concentrated on capturing scenes of the Potomac River and the adjacent Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal. He then developed diverse bodies of work that include foreign and domestic destinations\, architecture and design\, people\, nature\, old places and things\, and abstracts. But since 2012 his foremost passion is his ongoing project called “Mysterra” – illusions that convey fantasy\, whimsy\, and spirits. \nRoy has done extensive work for private and commercial clients\, as well as Potomac River and C&O Canal-related government and non-profit organizations. \nRoy’s considers the ultimate destination for a photograph to be a large fine art print\, 12″ x 18″ or larger. He has exhibited in numerous DC-area group and one-person shows\, as well as in his own studio.

SUMMARY:Portfolio Project: Interim Review with Kevin Egan & Ginger Werz-Petricka
DESCRIPTION:On February 12\, 2019\, three of NVPS’s most experienced photographers (Ginger Werz-Petricka\, Kevin Egan\, and Kathryn Mohrman) will lead the initial review of portfolios for NVPS members who are participating in the Portfolio Project this year.   Whether you have a portfolio for review or not\, it will be a fun and interesting learning experience.  Although the reviewers may comment on individual images\, the Portfolio Project emphasizes a body of work and how the individual images work together as a cohesive whole. Our reviewers will also provide their thoughts about the Artist Statement that begins each portfolio\, giving feedback on how it correlates with the actual portfolio.  They will also look for continuity\, repetition\, and the order of images\, and give helpful suggestions. \nPortfolio Project participants will use this coming Tuesday’s feedback to hone their work and ready it for the final review on May 21\, 2019. \nPortfolios are an important way for photographers to display their artistic vision and develop different projects for bodies of work.  Seeing the various portfolios and hearing the reviewers’ comments will hopefully give everyone ideas for portfolios of their own. \nGinger Werz-Petricka

SUMMARY:Programs: "B&W Photography" with Jim Steele
DESCRIPTION:Jim Steele \nWhile coming from a traditional film/darkroom background\, Jim is equally comfortable in both traditional and digital technologies.  His work includes landscape\, flowers\, figurative\, and surreal photography.  He has a studio at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria\, VA. His photographs are included in many corporate and private collections. \nHe has guest lectured in photography at Georgetown University and taught for the Art League in Alexandria Virginia\, the Smithsonian\, and Glen Echo’s Photoworks. He frequently lectures on the subject of visual literacy and darkroom and digital workflows. \nHe and his wife are members of the Photography Initiative at the National Gallery of Art in DC. \nJim’s interest (obsession) in flower photography started when he was walking to his car one day and noticed a tiger lily in the flower bed beside the driveway.  It was starting to wilt and he thought it was still beautiful.  He took it down to the studio to photograph\, and\, using focus stacking to overcome the shallow depth of field\, he ended up with a final focused digital file consisting of over a hundred stacked images. The rest is history.  \nMany of Jim’s favorite images are scenes he has been drawn to that most people might not photograph.  Jim calls them  “Images I Like\, But Nobody Else Will.” \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Member's Forum: "Work It" with Wayne Gunther - Cancelled due to Weather!
DESCRIPTION:Forum: “Work It” \nThe title of my forum discussion is “Work It!” I shoot all kinds of subjects but it’s relatively rare that I spend more time and attention on what’s in the viewfinder than two or three exposures. I do move position and change in-camera crop and consider the orientation\, but “see it\, shoot\, move on” is my usual photography mode. There are visual situations however\, that so grab my attention that I shoot many more exposures and thus “work” the scene. Sometimes these events are planned and sometimes serendipity. For the presentation I’ll go through my experiences with a melded slide show/narrative with examples of working the subject\, ending with favorite shots from each sequence. \nShort Bio.\nWayne Guenther got involved with photography in 1967 when running around with like-minded soldiers during his first stationing in Germany\, and it grew into an avocation over the next thirty years. He retired from Army Logistics as an Lieutenant Colonel in 1988 and moved on to manufacturing management\, but always had the urge to look for creative photographs when time allowed. In 1995 he was juried into Gallery West\, an art co-op in Old Town Alexandria\, and also joined The Art League of Alexandria. This gave him the nudge to create new work every month which helped develop his base style; it’s strongly graphic\, with patterns and lines\, curves\, and reflections. In 2001 Wayne retired again and started a one-man photography business which led to a contract job at the Lorton\, VA Workhouse Arts Center where he documented the conversion of the federal prison to an arts center and functioned as “staff photographer” when it opened in 2009. He was a charter member of two photography cooperatives at the Workhouse until 2011. He and his wife Judy\, also an NVPS member\, have been traveling widely for ten years\, which has really broadened Wayne’s subject matter and style. Who knew there were landscapes\, people/cultures\, and wildlife out there? Wayne joined NVPS in 2015\, and was Photographer of the Year for Class Three Digital Images\, 2016-2017.\nAfter shooting with Nikon equipment for 47 years\, he sold everything in 2014 and changed to Micro Four Thirds\, using both Olympus and Panasonic equipment. His website is www.wayneguentherphotography.com \nWayne Guenther September 20\, 2018-Updated October 24\, 2018 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Member's Gallery: "Prints" - Eva Lanyi;  Digital: "Night Photography" - Chuck Campbell - Cancelled due to Weather!
DESCRIPTION:Eva Lanyi\nA member of NVPS since 2015\, Eva Lanyi has been interested in photography since her first blurry black and white photos of the neighbor’s dog\, taken with her Kodak Brownie Instamatic (which she still has).  School\, work\, and life in general created other priorities for many years. Since retiring from a 32-year federal career as an analyst\, she’s been able to concentrate more on photography and plans to make it a big part of her life going forward.   She would like to improve her technical and artistic abilities\, while keeping photography a fun\, enjoyable endeavor.  \nMs. Lanyi does mainly landscape and garden photography\, because she loves being outdoors.  She is trying to improve at bird and wildlife photography. In addition\, believing that the natural world is imperiled by human activity\, she would like her photography to show the grandeur of Mother Nature before it is gone.  She also constantly scrutinizes trees\, rock formations\, leaves\, sand (anything\, really) for interesting\, more abstract scenes from nature. Every photography adventure\, for her\, is an opportunity for a “personal best” photo. She works with Nikon equipment and a trusty Manfrotto tripod.  You can view some of her work at evalindalanyi.com. \n  \n    \n\nChuck Campbell:  A Shot in the Dark\nNote: This presentation has been rescheduled for April 23\, 2019 \nThis presentation is a compilation of outdoor images which were shot after sunset and before sunrise.  Most of the images were shot with a slow shutter speed to compensate for the lack of natural light.  And many of the images contain colorful artificial light and water reflections.  \n \nChuck Campbell is a long-time NVPS member and volunteer.  He enjoys the quiet solitude of shooting images long after others have gone home for the evening or before they wake up and get in the way of a good shot. When traveling\, Chuck always takes a tripod because he knows he will be taking many shots in the dark.  Unfortunately\, as he traveled across Europe and the U.S.\, he has missed many good meals with his wife as he waited for just the right blue-hour light.  With this presentation\, he will happily share those lonely\, hunger-induced images with you.\n

SUMMARY:Competition: "No Theme" with Judge Jim Steele
DESCRIPTION:January’s Competition Judge is Jim Steele. There is no theme.  \nJames Steele is a photographer in the tradition of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. Working primarily in medium and large format\, his “scapes” of land\, sea\, and body represent the finest in traditional and digital photographic imagery. \nJim has studied with Cole Weston\, George Tice\, Joyce Tenneson\, Christopher James\, Carson Graves\, and Martha Casanave. \nIn our DC area his work can be seen in Studio #343 in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria. \nJim has taught workshops and photography courses at the Art League School in Alexandria\, the Smithsonian\, Visarts\, Photoworks\, Inc\, at Glen Echo Park and has guest lectured at Georgetown University. He has also taught numerous workshops in digital printing. \n“First and foremost\, I photograph what interests me\, until it no longer interests me; then I photograph something else. Most of my work is landscapes and figure studies executed with both traditional and digital materials.” \n“In the end\, it’s not about the process\, it’s about the image. It either works or it doesn’t.” \n \nJAMES D. STEELE – BIO \nEDUCATION: \nB.S./M.S. Industrial Engineering\, University of Missouri.

SUMMARY:Programs: "Street Photography" with Denise Silva
DESCRIPTION:Street photography is one of the most interesting types of photography\, but it can be challenging and often times overwhelming. In this presentation\, we will explore techniques for overcoming these challenges and creating images that tell the story of everyday life. \n\nDenise Silva was the featured photographer in the July/August 2015 Photoshop User Magazine\,  “Who’s Who in the KelbyOne Community article.” Additionally\, Denise was recognized as one of the Top 200 Women Photographers Who Inspire by Nature Photo Guides and has had multiple articles published in Extraordinary Vision (EV) Magazine. \nDenise finds every aspect of photography rewarding. From in-camera composition to post-processing\, photography is meditative\, creative\, and challenging. Her passion is to capture images\, from landscapes to urban decay and to share her experiences and knowledge with fellow photographers. \nTo this end\, she and Don Rosenberger started Road Runner Photography Tours. James Norman has recently joined the team! \nThey look forward to sharing their passion for photography with you and know that their tours will not only take you to great places\, but also give you an opportunity to build your network of photography friends while enhancing your photography skills through experience and knowledge sharing in a supportive environment. \nThere is no better place to learn and develop your skills than in the field! \n
