Date	Event/Activity	Description
April 22, 2020	++ Club Competition	Reflections Photograph an image that contains a reflection off any type of surface. For instance, reflections on metal, glass, or water. A very straightforward challenge.
May 13, 2020	Club Meeting	Long Exposure - James Venuti James will be showing examples and providing tips on creating long exposure images then sharing how incorporating custom framing techniques based on the photograph can make one of a kind pieces into works of art one click at a time. If you'd like to see some of his work in person he'll be showcasing at Pier 94 in Manhattan from April 23rd to the 26th. https://artexponewyork.com/
May 27, 2020	++ Club Competition	Long Exposures Take an image of a subject using a long exposure to blur or smooth out motion. Examples of subjects: water falls, rivers, large bodies of water, skies or carnival rides. Long exposures - use a long exposure to slow or blur motion/smooth water etc. With less light entering the lens, the shutter speed needs to be much longer. A neutral density filter allow you to shoot longer exposures in brighter daytime lighting.
June 10, 2020	++ Club Competition	Motion Photograph humans, animals/birds or objects in motion. Use your camera settings to either freeze the action or blur the motion (for instance panning). Some examples: sporting events, children playing, birds in flight, planes in the air, cars driving by, a waterwheel spinning, a waterfall, a Ferris wheel. Any subject goes - as long as it is something obviously an object in motion. Firework photos not allowed.

October 28, 2020	++ Club Competition	Wildlife Photograph any type of wildlife, preferably not in capativity (not in a zoo). Show some interesting action rather than simply a profile photo. Birds, reptiles, insects/butterflies, amphibians are all permitted. Humans are not included as wildlife and should not be in the photo. Domesticated animals not permitted.
November 11, 2020	++ Club Competition	Abstracts and Patterns in Nature Create an abstract image from nature or caused by nature Abstract images may contain a small portion of an object or multiple objects. An abstract will often concentrate on a limited area of a subject that reveals a shape, pattern, form, color or texture. Abstracts in nature are easily found if you look for them. Some examples: patterns in beach sand, snowflakes, ice srystals, a spider web, the curves of a shell, the bark of a tree, water on petals, flower stamens (the center part of a flower), waves on the water. Enhancing/altering our photo using editing software is permitted.
December 9, 2020	++ Club Competition	Silhouettes Shoot a silhouette. Silhouettes are fun and easy. In a silhouette, you shoot towards your light source, blocking the light. Your subject becomes black/in shadows against a bright background. Examples: Statues make good subjects for silhouettes.
