| President's Message |
December 2013
First, let me say thanks to all who participated in Nature Visions expo on November 8-10. Thanks to the volunteers, presenters, vendors, judges, NV administrators, members who submitted images, and of course the many visitors who attended the show. Without your help and support the NV event would not be possible. It was a fantastic success that also seems to get better every year.
Welcome to December. The warm summer months and those barefoot walks along the beach in August are now just sweet memories. The mercury has dropped and the colorful fall leaves are all but gone. The motivation to get out and take pictures in the cold may now be at an all-time low. But don’t despair, December offers unique opportunities for the passionate shutterbug and it is a great time to work on winter photo projects. It is the only time of year that you can find many places to photograph the colorful lights of the Christmas holiday season. It’s also a chance to get creative. Try defocusing, and/or zooming your camera at a slow shutter speed. These can produce interesting effects with colored lights.
The cold weather frequently brings us mornings with below freezing temperatures. Close-ups of frosty leaves or icy patterns on a window can be particularly interesting. If we are lucky enough to get a snowfall, grab the camera and get outside. Find a subject like a wooden fence, an old barn, a curvy road, a streetlamp, a stand of trees or frozen waterfall. These will look way different when covered in a fresh blanket of snow or when being viewed through falling snow. Winter landscapes are crisp and beautiful in a different sort of way. The winter night sky is also sharpest during the colder months, ask any astrophotographer. It will be worth the effort to get out and about to photograph after a snowfall.
If you are not fond of being outside in the cold, December is also a time for setting up winter projects indoors such as still life, close-ups, black light and studio shoots. Practice with off camera flash or light painting with a flashlight and slow shutter speeds. And food photographers rejoice: fancy foods, holiday meals and desserts seem to be everywhere. Practice your social photography by taking advantage of family gatherings. Don’t be shy to capture those memories of grandma and grandpa, the grandkids or Uncle Joe. Close-ups of older hands doing something or holding a child’s hand create a meaningful photo.
Places to Photograph Christmas Lights in our area
There are too many places to list here to see Christmas lights in the DC area, but this link to About.com shows many of them: http://dc.about.com/od/hoildaysseasonalevents/a/christmaslights.htm.
Personally, I have been to the Festival of Lights at the Mormon Temple in Kensington, MD, and ZooLights at the National Zoo in DC and I can recommend both. Walking around King Street in Old Town Alexandria in December is also a popular spot that I recommended. Lights, storefronts and shop decorations are colorful and festive. This can also be a great place for candid street photos.
Final Thoughts
Don’t let the cold weather be a deterrent to your photography this month. There are many unique and wonderful opportunities waiting to be captured. Please note that NVPS will be closed on December 24 and 31. Have a safe and wonderful holiday season.

Dec 3rd: Dennis Dimick -Thinking Globally, Seeing Locally
In his day-to-day work Dennis Dimick originates and orchestrates environmental photojournalism projects for National Geographic Magazine. As the magazine's environment editor and a long time picture editor, he works with photographers to produce documentary photography coverage of major issues and ideas like climate change, the energy challenge, global freshwater issues, and the impact of a rising world population. He is currently working with colleagues on a 2014 story series on the future of food in a world where nine billion people will need to eat by 2050.
He has been in love with photography for more than 40 years, and worked as a newspaper photographer and picture editor before joining National Geographic in 1980. He has taught documentary photojournalism at the annual Missouri Photo Workshop for 17 years, and has received many awards for his picture editing from the annual Pictures of the Year Competition. In 2013, received the Sprague Memorial Award from the National Press Photographers Association for his service to photojournalism.
He is a professional photojournalist, but his own photography is strictly avocation. Often carrying a camera, always carrying a phone with a camera, he is constantly on the lookout for interesting and unusual picture possibilities right in his own community where most of his pictures are taken. He loves to take pictures from airplane windows. He is always looking for an interesting picture of trees in Arlington where he lives. He can occasionally be seen photographing swimming meets at the local pool, 4th of July parades, and has been known to photograph ultimate frisbee and other sporting events. He has rediscovered the simplicity and elegance of pictures made with a simple 50mm lens. As a photographer he tries to find beauty in the everyday, in the common, and the local. He firmly believes that photographic possibilities abound in our daily lives, and his presentation will focus on these ideas and others inspired by the beauty in our daily lives.

Dec 10th: John Naman & Jeff Hancock - Abstract Workshop
NVPS Abstracts Workshop: Ideas and techniques for creating abstract photos
Tonight’s E&T will feature presentations by NVPS members Jeff Hancock and John Naman accompanied by renowned abstract artist Joe Miller.
The NVPS Abstracts Workshop is intended to demonstrate some ideas and techniques for creating abstract photos in your own home. Bring your camera! Cell phone up to DSLR with close-up. We will make several tabletop setups to unleash your creativity, experiment, and have some photographic fun! This workshop ties to a popular survey topic: Composition and Creativity. Exhibit Opportunity: the workshop is scheduled to help members prepare images to submit to the 4th Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit in March 2014.
John Naman photos@jnaman.com is an award-winning technical photographer with a focus on close-up, architecture and abstract photography. He also has a creative side that he employs in exploring the possibilities of light, texture, form, and unusual subjects. John was the Northern Virginia Photographic Advanced Digital Photographer of the Year (2011-2012). He has twice earned awards in the annual juried Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit.
Jeff will perform a live demonstration showing techniques used to perform in camera abstracts. Zooming, swirls, and panning will be performed while the camera is connected to the projector, so the results will be shown instantly.
Jeff Hancock has been an SLR photographer for 26 years. His initial training was from a photojournalist. Jeff has been on the staff at the newspapers of Hawaii’s Punahou School and Duke University. In addition to photojournalism, he’s been active in a wide variety of genres. His photographs of the Berlin Wall (before the fall) were exhibited at Duke shortly after the wall came down. He photographed sailboats for sale to Maryland’s Governor’s cup crew. He’s been the official photographer for Lindsay Cadillac’s Track events at Summit Point Motorsports. He is currently a contract photographer for Gadsby’s Tavern http://alexandriava.gov/GadsbysTavern, a museum built in 1785 that host historical figures and guests in period garb for galas and other events.

Dec 17th: Competition - Judge Corey Hilz - Open Theme
Susan Phillips and Beth Morris, Co-VPs of Competition are pleased to host Corey Hilz as our December Competition judge. This will be an open competition with no required theme. Corey is a professional photographer specializing in nature and travel photography. He finds the diversity in nature and cultures around the world offer boundless opportunities for new images. Corey approaches his subjects with an artistic eye, looking for a fresh perspective. He goes beyond the documentary image to show a unique perspective using color, shape and line. He strives to share the beauty of a destination you have never seen and provide a new perspective on a familiar subject. While Corey has collected diverse images from extensive travel, he also finds some of the most interesting subjects close to home.
Corey is a published author and his work is seen in magazines, books, calendars and catalogues. His photographs are also seen in exhibits and his prints are found in private collections. Corey has written six books, including two books on digital workflow and the first book dedicated to Lensbaby.
Corey has a passion for sharing his knowledge. He helps others improve their photography through group and private instruction. Corey's instruction enables photographers to improve their photographs technically and artistically. He leads workshops to locations in the United States and abroad, plus offers photography classes and software training.
Looking forward to seeing all of your photos!

December 14th: Wreath Laying at Arlington National Cemetery
On Saturday, Dec 14th, Wreaths Across America will be working with hundreds of volunteers to place wreaths at every gravesite in Arlington National Cemetery. If you would like to take pictures during the actual laying of the 110,000 wreaths, the schedule for this year’s event is:
Saturday Dec 14th
7:00 am Metro rail opens system-wide
8:00 am Arlington National Cemetery Gates open to public
8:30 am Ceremonial Wreaths Across America Truck Parade arrives Arlington Main entrance
9:30 am Opening Ceremony (Memorial Amphitheater)
10:00 am Wreath laying begins at sites throughout cemetery
11:00 am Wreath laying ceremony at President Kennedy grave
11:30 am Wreath laying ceremony at USS Maine Mast
12:00 Noon Wreath laying ceremony at Tomb of Unknown
We plan to meet at 9:00 at the Memorial Amphitheater where the opening ceremony is scheduled to take place.
From the Wreaths Across America website:
If you are interesting in volunteering to assist in the placing of the wreaths at Arlington, please join us on December 14th at 9:30 a.m. for a briefing to address the volunteers and instructions. After the briefing the volunteers are lined up behind the trucks and handed wreaths for placement. When you place the wreath please remember you may be the first person to visit this grave in years so take time to read the stone and honor the memory of that hero. The final ceremony will take place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers at 12 noon.
December 15th - Wreaths Part II
If you are unable to attend Saturday or if you prefer to take images after all the volunteers have gone and all the wreaths are in place, we have planned a second field trip outing to Arlington Cemetery on Sunday Dec 15th at 8:00am. We will meet at the main visitors center.
The wreaths will be in place through Jan 24th. Most people say that the best images of the wreaths and gravesite markers are after a fresh snowfall. But, since we can’t predict when or if it will snow between Dec 14th and Jan 24th, please note that Arlington National Cemetery is open from 8:00am to 5:00pm during those dates.
More details about all trip logistics will be provided at club meetings and on the website. Only paid up members and their family members can participate in Field Trips. If you would like to sign up for this trip or have any questions, please contact Chuck Campbell or Tom Pratuch, the field trip coordinators at field-trip@nvps.org.

Macro Workshop
Note the January Macro and Close up workshop offered by member Joseph Miller and listed in the Workshop Offerings below.
Comet Photography
Comet ISON passes very near the sun on Thanksgiving Day. Due to the size of the comet, many astronomers believe this will provide spectacular views (and photo opportunities) during the month of December. Some astronomers are less optimistic and think it may be less spectacular, or even destroyed completely by the close passage to the sun.
If it is a spectacular comet, the news media will doubtlessly hype it, and local astronomy clubs will offer public opportunities. The Northern Virginia Astronomy Club (NOVAC) has a public star party scheduled on Saturday night, December 7, 2013 from 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm at C.M. Crockett Park, 10066 Rogues Road, Midland, VA. (Public Star parties are cancelled if the weather is bad - if you can't see the stars, there is no star party!) More information about Public Star Parties can be found on the NOVAC website at:
http://www.novac.com/wp/
The two most popular astronomy magazines in the US are Sky & Telescope and Astronomy. Both magazines feature Comet ISON in their December issues, but both were published well in advance of the actual event. They have weekly updates on their websites, along with finder charts to make it easy to see where the comet will be in our local sky.
