WOW Photo Club April 15 and April 18 Events

Our meeting this month will be at 6:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall on April 15 after the WOW dinner at 5:45 PM.  This will be our first “friendly” competition.

On April 15 our competition theme is “Family Photography: family, friends and pets.”

Pictures should be of family members, pets or friends. The pictures can be candid, posed photos or the subjects doing something (horseback riding, cycling, kayaking, hiking, working on pottery, playing a musical instrument or sports . . . Etc).

Our “subjects” must be the main focus of the composition. The picture must say . . . "it's about them."

All photos must be 8x10 inches or larger and can be matted or not matted.  Each member is allowed up to 3 photo entries, and they can be color or black and white.

Please do not write anything identifying the photographer so as not to influence the membership (ourselves) who will be voting on the photos.  Numbers will be attached to the bottom of each photo and placed on a table so we can view and compare the photos.  We will put our selections (votes) in a box that will be tallied for the winners, 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.

* If there is time after the competition we can have a Q&A session if anyone has questions about photography, printing or editing.

Pickett’s Mill field trip is back on for Saturday, April 18.

Rained cancelled out field trip early in March so we are trying again.  Here’s what, Eliza Nobles, our Activity Planner, wrote:

Date: April 18, 2009 Time: We are going to try and meet earlier. We have agreed on a meet time of 9:00 am in the church parking lot. We want to be back in time for other activities at the church.

Lunch: We are going to eat at the Briar Patch in New Hope after wards.

Just check the earlier February 24 blog entry for a detailed description of the trip, but remember that we’ve moved up the meeting time to 9 AM.

  1. I'm looking forward to our first photo outing, and since I've never been to Pickett's Mill it will be new to me.

  2. On April 15 I will be boarding a 14 hour flight to Seoul and then on to Thailand. If I have time in the next two weeks I'll try to get a picture or two together for the contest for the contest.

  3. I will be teaching a SAR survival course in Bartow County this entire weekend. Sorry I can't attend, but I train with the K9 team often a Pickett's Mill, and there are some great pictures to be had here..It's a beautiful place with a lot of history. Happy shooting, and catch you on the next one I hope. - Stuart
