Following is the schedule for our July and August programs.
July 1: Photographing Fireworks
Walt Duvall will present about photographing fireworks displays. This is a great opportunity to get tips and tricks ahead of Newport’s (or any other) fireworks display.
July 15: Novice Group Image Presentation; Fireworks Photography Image Sharing
Our Novice group will take the spotlight on July 15 to share their images. This group meets monthly in addition to the regular YAAP meeting schedule and it is always great to see their work. Additionally, anyone who wishes to share their fireworks images is invited to submit them for presentation.
Please send images to our YAAP EID chair by end of day Saturday, July 13.
Our customary EID file size and naming convention will apply to your image submission. Details here.
For file name, please use:
FirstnameLastname_Title_# (where # reflects the order in which you want your images shown).
August 5: Presentation of a Photographic Theme
This is a new idea for a program. Photographers will select a theme for a photo project, select 8 – 10 of their images for that theme, and present the images. Examples of themes might be “Raptors” or “Architecture”. The maker might want to add a general slide or two to provide context for the project, but the bulk of the slides should be an exploration of the chosen theme. Treat this as a chance to explore a topic that interests you or push beyond a boundary that you feel limits you in some way, e.g. “I’m nervous taking pictures of people”, or “I can’t nail focus on birds in flight”. New work is highly encouraged. YAAP members should watch their email for additional information about this program. Deadline to submit to our EID chair is end of day Saturday, 3 August.
August 19: Annual Potluck and Photo Year Wrap-Up at the OSU Extension Office.
Bring your favorite dish to share and enjoy an evening of in-person connection with other YAAP members. Picnic and Awards at the OSU Extension Center. Bring a dish to share, and plates and cutlery for your party. Dinner bell rings at 6PM. Come between 5 and 5:30, if you can, to help set up. This is also Dues Night. $15 for YAAP members who are not members of YAA. $10 for YAAP members who are also YAA members. You need to pay your dues to participate in the MEID contests which begin in September, and to avoid feeling guilty. Cash or check made out to “YAAP”.
September 9: Member photo sharing on the theme Reflections on Reflections.
Submit 3 photos featuring reflections in some way. Deadline to submit to our EID Chair is Saturday 7 August.
