Greetings to all Retzer Nature Center Camera Club Members:
Attached is the December Newsletter. The Newsletter is coming to you a little earlier this month, so don’t get confused – we don’t meet until December 7th.
Please note that we will be judging the Wisconsin Print Circuit. Please bring a pen / pencil to the meeting.
Photo sharing this month will look at your images from our tabletop workshop at the November meeting. If you have some images you would like to share (up to five) send them to me by Tuesday< December 6th.
Looking ahead, our January 4th meeting will be our annual Holiday Party. Spouses and guest are invited and encouraged to attend, so make sure your spouse / guest is aware and gets it on their calandar. At the party we will share our Scavenger Hunt images, so start getting yours ready. We will also show our guest our best images from 2016. Begin to pick out your five best images from 2016. I will soon be sending an “official” request for these images, but I wanted to give you a little more time to get your images selected.
Rick
December Meeting – Wednesday, December 7th, 2016, 7:00 PM
Part of our December meeting will be dedicated to judging the Wisconsin Print Circuit images. There will be over 150 print to review, representing photographers from around the state of Wisconsin.
The second part of the meeting will be a program on shooting fireworks by Linnea Matthiesen. You will learn some tips and techniques for getting high quality fireworks images. While you may think of summer when you hear fireworks, there are opportunities in winter. There will be fireworks during the Waukesha JanBoree on the weekend of January 20-22. Don’t let a little cold weather stop you from trying out your new fireworks shooting skills.
Member Image Sharing:
Members are encouraged to submit several (up to five) images to share with the club for gentle critique. This is a great way to get suggestions for improving your images and developing your photographic skills. This month we are asking members to submit images that were taken at our November meeting featuring various tabletop set-ups. If you have some tabletop images to share, please send them in.
Please email your images to Rick Vollbrecht (Rvollb@wi.rr.com) by Tuesday, December 6th. This will help to streamline the process of viewing member images. We look forward to seeing your images.
