The
Berrien Springs Camera Club will meet on Wed., Jan. 7, at 7 p.m. in the Berrien
Springs Community Library at Cass and Union. The program will be an inwardly
focused one, trying to improve the images previously submitted, but
unacceptable. Or images you would like to improve.
One
of the stated goals of the club is to help members improve their photographic
skills. Three judges from outside come to judge the competitions, and members
often wonder why a particular photo was rejected, or given fewer points than
anticipated, or perhaps given an “honor” status. On the other hand, it is well
recognized that judging art is very subjective. Most club members have had the
experience of later resubmitting a rejected image and having it win honors.
In January three
artists/photographers will critique pictures and give reasons for how they
would judge them if this were a competition. Members will join in and offer
their observations and suggestions, too.
Nathan
Greene, world-renowned painter who lives and works locally, will be one of the
judges. Another will be Breanna Bell, a Michiana photographer specializing in
seniors, families, and babies. The third will be Emmanuel St. Cloud, a Berrien
Springs photographer who specializes in events, portraits, and weddings.
Each
member may submit five images ahead for this critiquing session. Submission
guidelines are on the club’s blog site: http://berrienspringscameraclub.blogspot.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/pages/Berrien-Springs-Camera-Club/249669421736625
Name
your submissions: 1_YourName, 2_YourName, etc. Send them to
berrienspringscc@gmail.com if you've already submitted your photos, we'll
correct the naming for you.
All
are welcome. Refreshments will be served.
