Santa Clarita Valley Photographers Association

Super Banner: Road to Nowhere by Chuck O'Neil

February Meeting

Santa Clarita Camera. Tuesday, February 9, 6:45pm

Ted Dayton, David Saffir and David Green present: Shoot! Process! Print! This demo (which is sure to become the Snap! Crackle! Pop! of photography), will demonstrate eye-opening concepts to improve your workflow. Ted will show off some of the shooting and lighting techniques that he is famous for. David S. will wow the room with a presentation on printing, and David G. will amaze you with Adobe Camera RAW tips and tricks.

But wait, there's more! To top it off, we will be seeing some new shots from the latest members of the month. Order in the next 20 minutes, and we'll add two ginzu knives. Operators are standing by....

Looking ahead

February 12-14: Death Valley field trip. Our usual trip to Death Valley in January will instead be in February in 2010. We're staying at the Furnace Creek Ranch (800-236-7916). Don't wait too long to reserve rooms there; they have always been full when we have been there.

March 9. Monthly meeting, 6:45-9pm: Black and White! Is it a lost art, or a process being reborn? This meeting will explore the world that existed before color... back before Roosevelt was president when human eyes had only evolved to see shades of gray. And then we'll come back to the future and learn how the digital process is once again making black-and-white hip. Yes, black-and-white is the new black!

March 12-14: Anza Borrego field trip. Details TBA.

March 13: For those of you who can't go to Anza Borrego, join us for a black-and-white field trip and Day of Shooting. Details TBA.

BANNERS NEEDED NOW!

Currently, we are mostly in need of Photos of the Moment.

In order to give everyone a fair chance,

submit only one photo and/or one banner at a time. Once your shot has been used, you may submit another. If you have never submitted a photo before, you get higher priority over people who have previously submitted, so send in your shot now!

Please note that images submitted by non-SCVPA members will not be accepted!

All submissions should be in JPEG format at 72dpi:

Banner of the Moment should be exactly 800 pixels wide by 120 to 200 pixels high.
Photo of the Moment must be no more than 450 pixels wide.
Super Banner must be exactly 800 pixels wide and up to 400 pixels high.

Send your submissions to the webmaster. Submissions can be any subject, subject to approval. Please name images with your name, and an identifying name for the image. Example: JohnDoe_FallColors.jpg.

Do not submit images with just the camera's file number!

Photos will be displayed with full photographer's credit and may link to your website, pages on Flickr, or other photo sites, if you include the info with the submission. If you have submitted before, include the link anyway; I don't have time to look up that information for past submissions.

I usually get more photo submissions than banners, so if you want to see your work more quickly, submit a banner, or better, a super banner.
