Our Next Showcase is Soon !!

Hi - We have another opportunity for you to shine! Our next showcase comes up at the November 2 meeting and that's only nine days away. That means your submissions for that Showcase need to be in very soon - always one week before.

The good news: we're going to delay the deadline this time by two days to give you a chance to sort out all those candidates and choose your three shots. The new deadline will be midnight Wednesday Oct 28, but it would sure be nice if you didn't wait past the regular Monday night deadline. Remember that address to email them to - its' simple: showcase@digitalphotoclub.net.

Unless you say no in the submission email, these will be posted on our website. So please size your photos to 1024-1200 pixels on the longest side. They'll look good and won't be a big file to store or transmit. Even if you use an email program or Windows Explorer to resize, set it one of these numbers to do that task. Thanks. Can't wait to see your stuff.

Now - on to the current Challenge. To help out with your thoughts and techniques for Action photography - the theme - Mike Kellogg has chosen a program for the next meeting with action as the subject. He'll tell you more on his blog vpdpca.blogspot.com. You can access this blog directly from the club website at any time - it's in the lower right corner.

When you're ready to send those Action Challenge photos in, they go to another simple address: challenge@digitalphotoclub.net. Make sure you don't mix up the addresses - either showcase or challenge will do it. They're due before midnight November 9th, one week before the Challenge meeting on Nov 16th. We'll announce soon who it will be that gets to comment on all these images at the Challenge meeting.

Thanks for all this activity - we all not only love to see your photos but often get inspired by what we see on that screen. Your Club's programs separate out the easy stuff - Showcases - from your going on a time-limited assignment based on a theme - Challenges. The latter gets you to expand your thinking a little bit and make just a few good, directed shots. Don't wait until the last minute as I do - think about how good you can be at this and get out there early !!
