February 19, 2025	Fireside Photo Chat Ken Curtis	Discussion on use of AI to create art. Note Starting Time will be 7PM not 7:30PM for this meeting This presentation is intended to give viewers a basic understanding of what is involved in creating AI art. I search for techniques to set my photographs apart from what I see everyone else doing. I want to create art, not just take a snapshot of an interesting object or scene and enhance it with tools like exposure, saturation and cropping. This prompted me to investigate what could I do with AI. I chose Midjourney for my generation engine (website). I think of this as creating AI art. I do not say AI photographs because the original did not come from my camera, and these images would not be permitted in a photography exhibit. In every case, after generating a new AI image, I post process it with Photoshop to remove imperfections or manipulate it in some way. During the presentation I will discuss how I got started experimenting with AI, how to generate Midjourney images, show examples of what I have created and talk a bit about what I have learned along the way.

October 9, 2024	“Chasing Turner” Craig Shofed	I realized early on that in my career as a photographer my influences have been other painters as opposed to photographers. Visiting exhibitions of painters that highlighted intense and vivid color was what I have been drawn to. I remember walking into the Philadelphia Museum and seeing the painting “Burning houses of Parliament”! The reds, yellows, and the oranges!! That painting has had a profound effect on my art. The abstract way in which that scene was captured. Bending reality! When I chose photography as my medium to explore it was that painting that drifted into my work as inspiration constantly. I was chasing that work. I was chasing JMW Turner.

July 12, 2023	My Multiple Exposure Evolution Jennifer Dooley	I have always liked and enjoyed creative photography, in particular I like to abstract things, ALL things. Although, I do tend to favor graphic shapes and squiggles. After so many years, I had accumulated quite a collection of reflection abstracts; I liked doing them so much and I didn't want to stop creating them, but at the same time I wanted to make them different. They all start to look the same after a while. So I started combining them. Years later, I was attending a street photography workshop and was encouraged to shoot differently. I was bored with the shots I was getting until I realized that my camera had the ability to ghost multiple in-camera images. I started playing with graphic subjects and the movement of people and just fell in love. I started doing this on every photography shoot. And as I continued to expand my photoshop skills, I started to play with more sophisticated ways of combining images to create more ethereal, artistic and sometimes unrealistic interpretations of the world I live in. In my program, I will show you my evolution of photographic tricks and hopefully inspire you to try them for yourself. Video Reply

Some examples: patterns in beach sand, snowflakes, ice crystals, 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 your photo using editing software is permitted. Judged by: Becky WittVideo Replay
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. Judged by: Phil EchoVideo Replay
October 14, 2020	Club Meeting	Photographing Birds Creatively using silhouette and backlight - Ray Hennessy Video Replay
September 23, 2020	++ Club Competition	Abandonment and Decay Photograph an abandoned building or structures, or man-made objects in some state of decay. Either the inside or outside of the building/structures is acceptable. Examples of decaying objects you may find to photograph: automobiles, trucks, machines or tools. Anything mad-made is an acceptable object. Judged by: Al BrownVideo Replay
September 2, 2020	Club Meeting	Light on the Land by:Steve Gettle of Gettle Photography This will be a Zoom meeting. Description: The world is filled with scenic splendor. Learn how to create stunning images of the land. We will not only cover techniques to photograph the grand sweeping vista, but also move in close and look at creating portraits of the details in our natural world: from intimate forest scenes, to flowers and the beautiful patterns present in the natural world. Learn how to “see the picture” and how to find order and create beauty in the chaos. NO RECORDING
June 20, 2020	Club Meeting	Picnic Location to be determined.Canceled
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. Judged by: Beth StarVideo Replay
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. Judged by: Richard Lewis Video Replay
May 13, 2020	Club Meeting	How Much Manipulation is Enough? with Nick Palmieri The previously advertised talk by James Venuti has been postponed to a later date. Video Replay
April 22, 2020	++ Club Competition	Reflections Photograph an image that contains a reflection of any type of surface. For instance, reflections on metal, glass, or water. A very straightforward challenge. Judged by: Dave Des RocherVideo Replay
March 25, 2020	++ Club Competition	Leading Lines Take a photo with Leading Lines. Definition: Leading lines are compositional elements - straight, curved, or irregular - that lead the viewer's eye into the image. Examples of subjects include, but are limited to paths, streams, roads, wires, and fences. Judged by: Ron WyattVideo Replay
March 11, 2020	Club Meeting	Creative Photography - Robin Rielly Most of the photography that we practice concerns identifying objects of interest, isolating their important elements, and arranging them in an interesting manner. This is what I call “reactive” photography. Creative, or “pro-active” photography stems from the photographer’s imagination. The creative photographer envisions an image and then seeks to create it using various tools. Where do we get the inspiration for these images and how does the photographer’s thought pattern work? We will see where the inspiration begins for various creative images and how they are created. ​
February 26, 2020	++ Club Competition	Black and White Only Take/convert photo to a black and white image having only shades of grey. The skies the limit! Any subject is permitted. Hint : Photos with a lot of contrast( black blacks and white whites, but not blown out) convert best to black and white. No colors, tones or sepia allowed.
February 12, 2020	Club Meeting	Photographing the NJ Pine Barrens - Richard Lewis - What and where are the Pine Barrens - Composition in this challenging environment. This information also applies to just about any flat landscape. - How to find locations - Recommended camera and personal gear
January 22, 2020	++ Club Competition	Detail Is Everything Enter your images where a detail in the photo is what makes the image special. Every picture has a feature critical to its composition. In a macro, it could be the insect you're photographing. In a wide angle shot it's the foreground feature. In a telephoto, it's the detail that lets the viewer understand the significance of the shot. Examples: A landscape where you have focused on a log lying on the ground and pointing into the photo; with a telephoto, a shot of a bird on the ground where only the bird is in focus - both the foreground and background are out of focus. With a macro shot, the antenna on your insect is the sharpest part in focus.
January 8, 2020	Club Meeting	Club Annual General Meeting and Pot Luck.
December 11, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Fences - When you are shooting outside, fences make wonderful elements for use in your photography. They can help you divide your image into the rule of thirds, give your subjects something to interact with and even offer some leading lines for stronger compositions. Be it wood, iron or wire, you can't beat a good fence to help improve your image!
November 13, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Trash - It is amazing what people throw out - one man's trash is another man's treasure - and what terrific photographic opportunities! The challenge is to keep your eyes open for those diamonds in the rough, especially when you're going through places like junk yards or abandoned locations. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
October 23, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Landscape - Another challenge for anybody with an interest in photography is the landscape genre. There's one critical ingredient for any successful landscape photograph and that's clouds. Clouds add instant drama to landscapes - nothing says drab more than a boring sky. What if you don't have an interesting sky? Crop as close to the horizon as possible!
September 25, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Circles - This challenge is solely reliant on your going out and finding the shot before you snap a single image. You're on the hunt for anything circular - that's a broad range of subjects at your discretion. The circle can be your actual subject - or the circle can frame your subject. It won't be long before you are seeing circles everywhere! (NOTE: The image must include full circles … arcs, semi-circles, etc. alone are not what we're looking for. These can be included provided there's at least one full circle in the image.) (NOTE2: A circle seen at an angle may not LOOK fully circular, but everyone knows wagon wheels and car wheels are circles, so don't make yourself crazy trying to shoot head-on! That wouldn't make a very pleasing photo in many cases, anyway!)
September 11, 2019	Club Meeting	Bird photography - Tam Stuart. All about bird photography - tips, techniques, equipment, bird anatomy and behavior, digital editing, etc. Will discuss some technical issues such as light diffraction and mirrorless camera systems, and will include lots of photos.
August 28, 2019	Club Meeting	Macro workshop - Several stations will be setup where participants can practice their macro shooting skills or get tips from members.
August 14, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Shadows - Shadows are something a lot of photographers try and avoid, but the challenge here is to make them work to your advantage. Pay attention to the shape of the shadows - or how they can separate your composition. Use them as subtle, graphic elements to help tell your story. You might even use your flash to create some of your own.
July 24, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Bugs - Bugs are probably the most popular subjects to photograph in close-up or macro - next to flowers, of course. The challenge: show off something we haven't seen yet - as in the example below (on the card), a praying mantis making a snack of a poor, little lady bug. The most successful image will be one that evokes some sort of emotion from your audience.
July 10, 2019	Club Meeting	Lightroom - file management, editing and travel. PART 2 - Joe Gilchrist
June 26, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Texture - The challenge here is to infuse your images with texture. Taking a two-dimensional print and giving it the feel of a 3D experience by introducing texture is a sure-fire way of distinguishing your work from those around you. It's all about the angle of your light and working with the shadows to take full advantage of the existing textures. Textures that compliment your image can be added during post-processing to enhance the image and for creative expression.
June 12, 2019	Club Meeting	Fun with Bokeh - Patricia Hart Zackman “Bokeh”, a Japanese word meaning blur, has appeared in photographs since the early days of photography. Not until 1997 was there a word to describe the out of focus highlights produced by a wide open aperture. The first part of the meeting will be an interactive discussion of bokeh and the second part will be a hands on workshop. Bring your fastest lens (min f2.8) and discover natural bokeh. We will also create our own bokeh, using a DIY KIT with shapes to create fun images. I will bring a light source and props as well as a sample kit. If you would like to purchase the DIY kit it is available at the following link https://www.bokehmasterskit.com/ or from B& H Photo or Adorama.
May 22, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph The Color Red - The color red is probably one of the most challenging colors to photograph because it over saturates very easily. You'll know when you've got it when you can see the dozen shades of red in your subject. Don't take the easy way out and do a limited-color effect in post. Red is a passionate color = let your imagination run wild! (NOTE: The image does NOT need to be all red. Red is a warm color and usually moves to the front of the image, depending on the other colors around it, so it doesn't need to be a large part of the image … just needs to stand out.)
May 8, 2019	Club Meeting	Light Painting - Loren Fisher
April 24, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Letters - Including words in your images introduces a graphic element for your viewers to interact with - further revealing the story of your image. Words can lend a particular voice to the composition - whether whimsical, like the sample below (on the card) or something with a bit more gravitas. Don't be afraid to go in tight and give us just a simple letter!
April 10, 2019	Club Meeting	Sports Photography - Terry Donofrio Terry will discuss the approaches that he has used to photograph 15 major Sports over the last 8 years. He will present the key aspects of the different sports including the similarities and differences and how they effect the photographers ability to produce a good sports photo. Terry will consider the key methods he has used in various sports to produce good and exceptional images as well as discussing what makes a good sports photo.
March 27, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Machinery - Subjects like machinery are fantastic because, more often than not, you have complete control over everything from lighting to composition. A tripod will help you hone your composition into a very compelling image … and if you fill the frame with your subject, all sense of perspective can be lost, which creates a fantastic photograph.
March 13, 2019	Club Meeting	Large Mammal Photography - Chris Kosseff In this presentation, I will share some of what I have learned about capturing quality photographs of animals. It is my hope that there will be a lively discussion of issues and that my passion, if not skill, will generate enthusiasm among attendees. The plan is to have an interactive evening that is fun, educational and highlighted with some photographs of the beauty in our world.
February 27, 2019	++ Club Competition	Photograph Still Life - One of the best ways to learn your camera and gear is through still life photography. You have total control over everything from your subjects to your lighting to your story. Get set up on a tripod and start snapping. Check your composition and adjust as needed. Do this enough and soon you'll have a feel for everything that's possible with your gear. (NOTE: for this one, there is no excuse for getting it wrong. You really DO have total control!)
February 13, 2019	Club Meeting	Lightroom - file management, editing and travel - Joe Gilchrist
January 23, 2019	++ Club Competition	Book, Movie, Song Titles - This is an OPEN competition. Enter your favorite photo, your best photo or both! The sky's the limit here … just be sure to find a title that fits the topic … does NOT have to be a popular title … just find one (Google is our friend!).
