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.
Support you club and your newsletter with active participation because we cannot survive without that.
There are several committee positions open such as Secretary, Public Events Coordinator (have one, can use another), Salon Show Coordinator (have one, can use another). If interested in any of these positions, please let Dawn or Lazlo know
We are planning to move the pictures
from the Noble Show to the new show at 11 Railroad street in Canaan. Please
Pick up your pictures at Noble after the show is closing if you do not want
to participate in the new show. Otherwise we are going to move all the pictures.
Send an email with your listings to
Gail Goldberg if you want to
add one or two more pictures to the ones you had in the Noble show or if
you weren't part of it but you want to be in the Canaan show .
HCC labels on each picture…one on the front and one in the back. This
is the standard form we use which includes your name, title, size and price.
This will be matched up to the labels when they hang the photos.
the videos of our previous meetings
is finished. Thank you Jeff Breitman for your hard work on the project, selecting the pictures, putting it altogether, arranging the printing, etc.
Get in touch with Jeff if you want a copy of the book.
The coming season we will compete in NECCC interclub competitions in the
Nature and Pictorial categories. These competitions stay the same as last
year. We enter 4 images from 4 different members in the Nature and Pictorial
competition. More info here:
http://neccc14.neccc.org/Interclub/Projected-Image-Interclub-Competition-Rules-and-Regulations.pdf.
We also compete in the PSA interclub competitions. For 2023-24 PSA Interclub,
the standard file size will be 1920 x1080 with clubs still able to enter
their images using the 1400 x1050 size until they are ready to switch to
today’s standard size of 1920 x 1080. We will compete in the Pictorial and
Black and White categories this year once more again. In the PSA competitions
we enter 6 images from 6 different members. I will start asking for NECCC’s
Nature and Pictorial images in September, and for PSA’s Pictorial and Black
and White images in October. Get ready and start collecting your images
now.

Proud member of:
We had a highly successful Noble Show opening
last month. The show runs through February 18th so if you missed the opening,
you still have time to see it. As usual, members have submitted a wide variety
of photos and Noble Horizons did a fantastic job hanging them. Thank you to
all who participated and to those who worked hard to make this show happen.
We’ve recorded at least one sale so far! For those participating in the show,
do not forget to provide Lazlo with a digital copy of your photos.
February’s
meeting will be Tuesday, February 20 at 7:00 pm via Zoom. The presentation “Capture
and Beyond: The Making of a Winning Image” will be presented by Sharon Prislipsky.
She is a professional photographer who lives in Arkansas, specializing in nature,
landscape and outdoor portraits of individuals and families. Don’t miss it!
Her experience and expertise can help you take your photography to the next
level.
Do not forget to submit your photos for the PSA Color and Black and
White categories. You may submit up to two (2) photos in each category.
Happy
Shooting!

A few pictures I took years back at a junkyard
in Waterbury, CT with the exemption of the first and last one. The first one
is from Kent and the last one is from Canaan .
