Hi - Hope you're all planning to be at our Monday meeting because we have a super speaker and a learning experience on enhancing photos. Skip Brown will present his talk on Action Photography - here's what his website says:
"Skip Brown is one of the worlds top outdoor action sports and travel photographers. As a Class V kayaker, advanced-rated hangglider pilot and accomplished windsurfer, kiteboarder, mountain biker and all-around snowsports guy Skip brings a special perspective to adventure landscapes. These skills enable him to keep up with pro athletes in the field and give him a unique understanding of their sports. When he's not working in the outdoors Skip is shooting portraits and ad campaigns for a variety of commercial and editorial clients. Skip lives in Cabin John, MD near the Potomac River with his wife and two young sons."
Our member and Exhibits Director Bill Tongue is preparing a presentation to show us how he makes "painterly" adjustments to his photos. We've seen some of these in Showcases, and now you will be able to use these techniques, too.
Come before 7pm and chat with your photog cohorts, and we'll start with Skip. I think you'll really enjoy this show - I've seen it recently - and have some Q&A time with him. See you there.

Know what's right under copyrights
This coming Monday evening we have a chance to get an expert view on an interesting subject for photographers - copyright issues. This is a wide topic of concern today, and you need some background knowledge if you offer your photos to others for viewing or seek to use others' photos.
Our speaker on this is Lesley Ellen Harris, a copyright lawyer, author and educator. She will discuss how to protect your photographs in traditional and digital media, what to do if someone uses your photographs without your permission, and terms and conditions when licensing and assigning your photographs and working on assignment.
Lesley has been working in copyright law since 1983 while still in law school, and consults on copyright issues in the U.S. and Canada and the around the world. She is well qualified to provide us an overview of U.S. and international copyright law and the protection of photographs. Since 1998, Lesley has made her home on the South River in Annapolis. See information about her work at http://copyrightlaws.com.
Lesley would be happy to receive your copyright questions in advance -- email Don Dement right away and he will forward your questions to Lesley.

Matting and framing, and a request
There are two upcoming opportunities to learn about presentations. A class to help you mount your photographs yourself is being offered at MD Hall by Instructor David Ashman. He spoke at our last meeting announcing this, to be held on April 18, next Saturday afternoon for $70. More info is on the website http://www.marylandhall.org/classes/detail/classitem5132.html
As he described at the meeting, David is willing to follow the matting course with a follow-on: a Framing Workshop to learn custom framing techniques for your matted images. To be given at low cost, this workshop needs a location.
The theme will be cost-effective custom framing. It includes proper selection of materials and use of tools, glazing choices, and artwork installation techniques using metal, wood and canvas floater frames. Handouts would include lists of materials and sources.
David asks whether a member can identify a place to hold this workshop. Contact David at david@davidashmanphotography.com

New Exhibit Opportunity - Now or never!!
Hi, all members. The Maryland Federation of Art in Annapolis - gallery is at 18 State Circle - is inviting our Club to submit photos to their "Chesapeake Watershed" exhibit. They want photos you may already have taken of anywhere in the Watershed from New York to Virginia, at any time.
This is an MFA Open Show, so artists of all kinds are invited regardless of being a member. I was reminded by the show organizer that entries are due next Tuesday Apr 2, and cannot be by email - must be on a CD, USPS mailed with postmark on/before Apr 2 or hand-carried. However, that date could be waived if there is a need for it and if the gallery is notified that an entry is coming (410-268-4566). The info about this is here: http://mdfedart.org/chesapeake_watershed09web.pdf
The juror, Richard Olsenius, has top-rated credentials, owns his own gallery in Eastport, and is a photographer (Nat'l Geog, books, etc.) and composer with several DVDs out.
I've been a member at MFA for several years - have had a one-man show and several individual photos selected for their exhibits. It's a great place to visit, view, and show. There is prestige in getting your photos hung there and possibly selling your photos, as well as winning some of the $1500 in prize awards.
And you don't have to join to enter!! - although it would be to your advantage to participate now and in the future. See the brochure for details and read it carefully.
This notice was coordinated with our Exhibits Director, but it's an individual opportunity, not a Club event. Give it a try and get into the arts community!

Next Meeting - March 23
Hi, all - Our upcoming meeting should be a real winner again. We have Steve Gottlieb, outstanding photographer and founder/operator of Horizon Workshops in Chesapeake City, MD coming to us to speak on what he calls a combination of images, amusing stories, personal history, photo tips, and answers to questions: "On the American Road: Images and Anecdotes." Take a look: www.horizonworkshops.com/index.html. He'll have items from his business, including brochures and books.
With our upcoming Challenge on Black and White Conversion, in addition to the demos we did at the meeting we have a unique opportunity to witness a black/white master printer's work and talk with him. Dick Bond, photography instructor at MD Hall, will conduct a tour for us in the 2d floor Marino Gallery where he has a one-man exhibit in presentation. Dick has made the dozens of woodland prints that are on display using an 1895 Korona 5x7 view camera, which he restored and has on display. The sharpness and tonalities are remarkable.
Following all this, we'll return to the digital world in our Rm 308 for a short talk by Jay Alden on "Photo Documentaries: Creating Entertaining Photo Slide Shows." Jay has considerable experience with this, and will show us one of his, how he does it and alternatives we can use.
I'm surely looking forward to each of these presentations. I think you'll enjoy the evening.
Please don't forget to do some Black and White conversions, even if just for practice. Get pretty good at it and then do some to submit for the Challenge. The submission deadline is April 13. See you there.

Next meeting - March 9
Hi, DPCA Members. You're participating in the Challenge "Composition on a Tabletop," I hope.
We have an expert in closeup photography coming to give us comments and critique on our entries. He's Fred Lagno, retired airline pilot and an award-winning barnstormer/aerial photographer now living in Queenstown. Since retiring 14 years ago he's become an expert modelmaker and photographer, primarily of model trains and scale-model buildings.
I've seen his train photography show, and it's amazing. As an added inspiration about closeups, after our critique Fred will spend a few minutes showing us samples of his realistic shots, including some that have been magazine covers of the popular publications about model trains. We'll have some Q&A about these techniques and equipment. You can bet he knows something about controlling depth of field and composition in small object arrangements. Fred has also been using HeliconFocus, which is a program somewhat like HDR but in this case, for "focus stacking."
Not a bad subject following our field trip to the B&O Museum, huh? It should be an interesting and as always, informative meeting even for those who haven't been challenged this time.
Hope you'll be there with your photos. Looking forward to your innovations in photography.

Tabletop Shooting - Need participants
Hi, all DPCA Members! At our last meeting and in the President's blog, we noted that there will be a Challenge on March 9: "Composition on a Tabletop." It's not the season to be outside for shooting photos, so let's use this opportunity to gain or refresh skills in close-up shooting. You might use this capability in selling online - that always needs pictures - or inventorying your goodies around the house.
This means you will be shooting close-ups of objects, and that requires thinking about the setting, a backdrop of some kind, what lens and lighting, etc. All of these depend on the subject you want to shoot, which can be most anything around the house that's appropriate - a paperweight, bric-a-brac, souvenirs, or anything that makes a presentable project and shows that you understand how to do this.
The submission deadline is just a month away from today, Mar 2. To get some thoughts together, we're planning to show how it's done at our next meeting, Feb 9.
Are you a practiced close-up photographer? It would be good to have several members demonstrate what and how they do it. Contact me soon if you'd like to participate. Only will take a few minutes at the meeting and no evaluations. Just bring whatever gear you need and show us how you do it. We'll show results on the screen.
I'm at don.dement@verizon.net or call me at 443-994-1333. Thanks for giving it a try.

All About Light - Meeting Mon 15 Dec
Our upcoming meeting this Monday will feature Enoch Chan, photographer and much more. Enoch's work with light caught my eye at his current photograph exhibition at Bella Gallery in Edgewater.
Enoch holds a BFA in Theatre and a BA in Art History from Boston U. His talk, titled "Figures of Light" will give us some insight in photographing figures in flight with simple setups. From what I've seen, it should be both entertaining and informative.
We'll also hear some suggestions about preparing for our coming Lowe House Office Building exhibition along with framing recommendations for those who have been juried into the show.
And my part to play will be a short demo that follows Enoch's theme: "Light Painting with Photoshop and Lightroom." This is our last meeting of 2008 - come early - we'll start right at 7, Rm 308, Maryland Hall.

CF 8GB memory cards for $10
Hi, shutterbugs - with the holiday gift-giving in mind, you might think about a real deal for yourself or friend/family.
If your camera uses compact flash cards, at Adorama.com until Dec 15 you can order an 8GB card by a reputable manufacturer (Lexar) for under $10 after a huge rebate (82%). I've never had a problem with getting a rebate through Adorama. These also are shipping free and of course no tax for shipments to MD.
An 8GB card will store about 600 RAW shots from a 10MP camera, or roughly 2500+ jpgs. A bit more than a film cartridge, eh?
These are rated fast enough for almost any of us at 133X. I remember seeing these a couple of years ago at over $500. Comparables from Sandisk discounted are about $30 + S&H.

Donate an old camera --
Here's an opportunity to help new photographers. This was posted by the AA Community College and is repeated here as a favor. You may want to interact as you like, on your own. I've tried to adjust the typeface for better readability - hope it's not too bizarre on your screen.
"The Art Department of AACC is seeking ways to increase the number of cameras we can provide students with to complete art assignments. If you have updated/replaced your digital with a new high resolution please consider donating your "old"(working condition) camera. Donated cameras are used by AACC students during lab periods and are returned and secured at the end of each lab. They are limited to on site use and will be retained from semester to semesters for student use. Make your donation by bringing your old camera to Cade-113 and place it in our Camera Drop Box. If you have the instruction booklet please include it as well, although this is not required. Please include your name and office location (address) and we will see that you get a "donation" letter from The AACC Foundation.
Thank you for your support!

Next Meeting - Dec 1
We're already going to be into December at our next meeting - hard to believe. This will be the review of our Challenge photos on the theme: "Colors". Generally, how does color enhance this photograph? The gate for submission of entries has now closed. We expect a lot of entries.
The reviewer for our Challenge will be Dick Bond - one and the same that I mentioned in my last post. His reception was well attended and I hear that he sold quite a few of his framed photos. Hope you got there, and can drop in to see what a big view camera with 5" x 7" film (!) does.
After our review with Dick, we'll have three short subjects. For our Tech Talk, Laurie Brice will make sure that everyone is comfortable with sending photos by email; for our Web Walk Robbie Mislevy will tell us about sites with ideas and tips for taking holiday photos; and Sandy Huberfeld will update us on the exhibit she's arranged for us to hang in the Lowe's House Office Building starting in January.
Don't miss this meeting! See you there.

Our next meeting will be Nov 17th, Monday evening at 7 as usual. But the program won't be "as usual" - because we'll have a Nat'l Geographic staff photographer presenting his fire-fighting experiences. Mark Thiessen will join us for an hour of exciting photos from his daring adventures as a qualified forest firefighter using a camera instead. You can preview this theme here: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/firecall/
Following his presentation he'll stay for Q&A, and Matt Korbelak will run a Showcase of photos taken at the last four Field Trips. We'll catch up with these, and then try to have a Showcase following each trip for the rest of the year. We're hoping Mark will stay to comment for us.
Another "don't miss" evening !!

Next Meeting - Nov 3
Well - we've been a full circuit now with speakers, Showcases, and a Challenge.
Our next meeting starts with a speaker, and a Showcase will follow. We didn't make it to the planned talk last time, so it will be first thing up this time. Veteran professional photographer and DPCA member, Dan Beigel will present some reflections on assembling a portfolio. Dan's work has been published in National Geographic, Time, and USA Today. He is currently working on his 3rd photo book.
His topic - Creating a Portfolio - is something we all should be interested in because that's where a good presentation of your photos starts. He'll explain why you should pay attention to the content and context. I'm looking forward to hearing him, and then creating my own portfolio(s).
For the Showcase, get your three shots ready quickly - photos are due in by this Monday evening, Oct 27!!! DKD

New Show - sort of...
Well...! Talk about serendipity - a friend called and said he'd offer a month's wall space at the City Dock Coffee on Maryland Ave. since he couldn't get there this month. So...if you missed my latest hangings at Bella Art Photo in August, then you can get to gaze this time at the little gallery at 71 Maryland Ave. and have a caffe macchiato while you're there. To be frank, it's similar to the Wood and Water show shown at the MFA Gallery in February. Can't update continually, y'know, but after all, moving it around town isn't all bad. Open 6:30 am (!) to 6:30 pm. throughout October. May see you there within civil hours.
So what has this to do with the Club? It's notice that you can pursue various places to get your photos seen that aren't traditional galleries. For example, there are four of these City Dock coffee spots in the County and many places in town that hang 2-D art. Give the proprietors a try. DKD

Get a start toward making good photographs
Although I've been teaching in the area for over five years, seldom has the opportunity come up to do a course that includes a field trip, a critique, and offers printing and a print to take home. This weekend, Sept 20-21, is such an opportunity. The owner of Edgewater's Bella Photo Art and Framing Gallery, Mike Kellogg, and I will present on the first day an all-day session touching on subjects that are important to know for fine photography.
The next day implements that knowledge, starting with a morning walk in Annapolis, shooting for a couple of hours followed by a critical and helpful review back at the Gallery. Once the student makes a choice among the photos taken, Mike will demonstrate how to print it well and actually make a large print for the student to take home.
We think it will be popular. You can sign up at http://www.bellaphotoart.com/workshops, and do it soon. Only ten students will be admitted. Lunch can be had nearby or bring your own. And bring a camera that can make individual settings so you can see how to control it for a variety of situations - either a DSLR or an advanced compact. Hope to see you there - regardless of your knowledge level it will be time well-spent.
