Parkland Photography Club - November 21, 2000 |
| Tisdale - January 25, 2000 - by: Gerald Crawford |
| The January meeting of Parkland Photography Club was short on members (6) but long on content. |
| Secretary Darlene had a letter from PRPA asking us to judge the Gerald Fish Print Competition in April, and the Travelling Salon Slide Competition in November. Needless to say, members were quite enthusiastic. |
| Doreen hadn't got her slides back in time for last November's meeting, so showed eight of her favorites. These had been taken with a fully automatic camera, and it did an excellent job on exposures. |
| Five prints were entered in the Theme Shoot. Theme was "Children" and Jenny Fritshaw won first for her photo of three kids frolicking in autumn leaves. Runners-up were Wes Swan's photo of a little boy crawling through a multi-colored tube, and Darlene McCullough's photo of a row of children trying to imitate their elders' dancing. |
| Three of us had entered four slides each in a PRPA competition last fall; these had been returned with scores and judges' remarks, so they were projected and discussed. |
| After a delicious lunch courtesy of Jenny, we viewed a Gleneath slide show consisting of winners of contests from 1994 to 1999. There were about 90 slides, with a script and the makers' names and titles of the slides. Each was critiqued from the standpoint of what would have made it a better slide if we had the opportunity of photographing it again, and it was after ten before we finished. |
 |
| Meeting times and dates were discussed, and it was decided to go back to having our meetings on the last Tuesday of each month, starting at 7 PM and hoping to finish about 9:30 PM. That makes our next meeting February 27th. The Theme will be "Aged". Now what does a bunch of spring chickens like us know about Aged? |
| We will be viewing the winning slides from PRPA competitions, and then will have a critique of the prints in our own print show. Malcolm Salmond has again consented to conduct the critique. |
