A winning image is not always one that wins a competition. It may be one that has appeal to consumers or one that is worthy of being displayed in your home. Regardless of the definition we choose, all winning images have impact. This program will define impact and discuss how to create images that make a connection with the viewer, evoke an emotion, illustrate a concept or new idea, or perhaps show something new to the viewer. From composing our images to enhancing them in post processing, we can share our vision and communicate with our audience. Finally, we will explore the stages we experience in our photographic journey and how we can take our photography to the next level.
We wanted to let you know that Dawn Dingee's parent's house burned down recently Thankfully, everyone is safe, but the house was a total loss. As a club, we plan to make a $100 donation to the "go fund me" set up by Dawn's niece. However, in case anyone is so inclined to donate personally, I wanted to pass along the link. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebuild-the-dingees-home

For our November Meeting, Lewis Katz gave us a Zoom
presentation where he provided critiques to our member’s photos.
Several members submitted photos ahead of time and Lewis
provided a considered critique of each. For some, he made some
changes within Lightroom to show what was possible. Overall,
Lewis made some good points and it’s always great to get
someone else’s viewpoint of our work. I hope members who
attended found it useful. Lazlo has provided a
recording on our
website if you were not able to attend.
Don’t’ forget our salon show at Noble Horizons is coming up soon in
mid-January. Members can submit up to 4 photos. Please be sure
your entries are new work (meaning the work has not been
displayed in any local shows and has never been shown at Noble
Horizons before). More details will be sent to you via email. If you
have questions about the show, feel free to reach out to me.
Our December meeting is fast approaching – Tuesday December
10t. Get ready to spice up your holiday season at our Mardi Gras
themed party! Bring your favorite dish for potluck and enjoy a
variety of delicious treats. Sign up sheets for food and snacks will
be sent out soon. Don’t miss out on the 50/50 raffle and other
raffled prizes! Hope to see your there.

Heading home
In September, I visited the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. This is one of the world’s oldest and largest covered markets attracting millions of visitors each year. The market is located in Istanbul’s historic district. It was originally built in the 15th century under the orders of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. Over time, it has expanded into a sprawling labyrinth of narrow streets, arcades and courtyards, covering over 30,000 square meters and housing more than 4,000 shops.
The Bazaar is a sensory overload, offering a unique blend of sights, sounds and smells. However, as you wander the many hallways, all the stores start to look alike. The variety of shops can be reduced to these main categories: candy, spice, copper pots, leather goods, jewelry, rugs and clothes. For someone like myself who is ‘directionally challenged”, I found it kind of scary….one can get easily lost!
The Bazaar today employs over 26,000 people and receives up to 400,000 visitors a day and is a major landmark in Istanbul. Bargaining on the price is expected. Many shop keepers offered samples. If you get the chance to visit, plan on several hours and bring your patience.
