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.

This presentation will range from the basics to more advanced aspects of utilizing flash in 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.
