Photo Group February 25, 2022

There are two themes:  “Shadows” and “Space/Time/Motion” – you can chose either or both. New photos, or photos from your catalog, are welcome, and you can submit photos on other themes.

A change in meeting format: We agreed to try some changes to our meeting format, as follows:

Submit no more than 3 photos, no later than the end of the day on Thursday before the meeting.

Designate one photo to be shown first. (If there are 1 or 2 photos that show how the main photo was processed, you can show them along with the main photo.)

Number your remaining photos in order.

We will start by going through all our first choice photos , one per person*, allowing time for discussion and comment. One of our experienced photographers will facilitate a discussion of each photo, exploring questions such as:

Why did you take the photo?

Does it do what you wanted it to do?

Could it have been/be improved:

     o When it was taken?

     o In post-processing?

We will then look at the photos that haven’t been shown, one photo per person, in order, spending less time on each photo, if there is time remaining. (*if you chose to show additional photos with your main photo, we won’t look at them again.)

Meetings will be limited to 1 hour for review of photos + 15 min for feedback, and planning our next meeting.

The order of viewing will be randomised (before the meeting).

We will discuss how this worked at the end of the meeting, and decide whether to continue this way, or make some changes.

Please send no more than 3 photos to me at richard@rhspencer.ca no later than the end of the day on Thursday, Feb 24.

Future meetings: We plan to meet on April 8, and May 13. We may be able to move to hybrid meetings (in person at UBC + online using Zoom), depending on Covid.

Take and Make Better Photos: Once we can confirm rooms at UBC I will contact Neil leNobel to schedule this talk, and let you know the date, time and place.  I hope we can do this in February or March.
