Topics: (Click topic for description)
What I Did On My Summer Vacation (September)
All you need to do is bring some prints or digital images of what you did during your summer vacation and we can talk and mingle and share stories. It's our welcoming to the new season and gives the old and the new members a chance to meet and mingle during a relaxed evening. No judges, no image shows, no pressure.
Macro and Close-up Photography (October)
Jim Leary will present a discussion on the tools and techniques for close-up/macro photography.
Current Trends in Digital Photography (November)
Wesley Feuz works in the Photography department at Ralin's and he will talk about the current trends in digital photography. This will be an interactive workshop so bring your digital camera and questions.
Express Yourself! (Through Photos) (December)
This workshop will be an informal sharing of photographs from club members. Members will have an opportunity to express through the photos just what drives them to pick up their camera and click the shutter. All members are welcome to participate. Please no more than a combined 5 images between print and digital.
Basic and Advanced Flash (January)
Jim Leary will present a discussion and demonstration on flash photography. This presentation will range from the basics to more advanced aspects of utilizing flash in photography.
You Be the Judge (February)
Club members have an opportunity to see and participate in a mock Year-End Judging session. Members will be allowed to submit images and be judged by three of their peers. See
syrcam post for more information.
Mat Cutting (March)
Joe Inzalaco from Commercial Art Supply will present a workshop on Mat Cutting. Joe will discuss matting prints and the mechanics of creating your own mats. Joe will have a live demonstration using a cutter and materials.
Club Exhibition Reception (April)
Digital Photography Essentials (May)
Bob Gates is offering a workshop that attempts to cover the basics of digital photography. Though aimed primarily at less experienced photographers, there may be something here for everyone. And perhaps we can build in some time for more experienced members to answer questions and help with camera controls and setup for newer members. So do bring your camera.
Competitions are usually held on the third Wednesday
of each month and are judged by experienced photographers from Syracuse
and Kodak Ambassadors from Rochester. For competition rules,
see the competition page.
Entries in all competitions can be of any subject, except for competitions in January, March, and
May, those competitions
have assigned topics as noted.
Assigned Topics:
Abstract (January 16)
- Photography that uses colors and lines to create a
composition pleasing to others.
Children (March
20)
- Biologically, a child (plural: children) is generally a
human (male or female). One or more is acceptable between the stages of
birth to puberty. Pregnancy in any stage is unacceptable.
Negative Space (May
15) -
Negative space in photography is the area around and/or between the
subject(s) of an image. Negative Space can be evident when the space
around the subject itself forms an interesting or artistically relevant
shape. Such space is occasionally used to artistic effect as the
"primary" subject of an image.
Image shows when scheduled, usually take
place on the last Wednesday of the month.
