February 2021 – Technical Night – Special Presentation by Eileen Sklon – Intentional Camera Movement (ICM)

Introduction

Have you ever unintentionally hit the shutter button while you were moving your camera? Maybe you deleted the image or maybe you had a masterpiece on your computer! Well, those unintentional movements are difficult to recreate but how about intentional camera movement (ICM)? Making this type image can be fun and get your creative juices going BUT it can be frustrating as well.

Our special guest speaker, Eileen Sklon, has taken ICM up to the level of fine art! Her impressionistic images give you the essence of the scene but also make you wonder what it is. Eileen will be giving us some tips and tricks for making your ICM images into masterpieces. She will talk about shooting technique (with both your camera & phone) and will touch on some post processing as well.

Eileen’s Bio

January 2021 Technical Night – Judging and Being Judged with Jim Sykes and Robert Rostick

For our first Technical Night of the new year on January 22, we have our own Jim Sykes and Robert Rostick doing a panel discussion about image judging.

You might ask, why judging, I’m not a pro? But getting insight into how a professional looks at your images not only will help you with judging, if you get that opportunity on a TBCC Competition Night, but it also makes you more cognizant of what judges are looking for and what is important to them. Always remembering that all of this is very subjective.

This insight will make you more comfortable when you are called upon to judge others’ images but more importantly, it should give you a new “set of eyes” when you are looking at and evaluating your own images for competition and exhibition.

So please join us at 6:30pm on Friday, January 22, for the pre-meeting social time and then at 7:00pm we will start the meeting.

Jim will send out the Zoom invitation a couple of days prior to the meeting to all current members.

Please remember to renew your annual membership if you have not already done so for 2021. You can use this link: http://www.jrsphotos.com/misc_sale_tbcc_dues30.htm

BE SURE TO COMPLETE THE NEW INFO FORM AND TO HIT THE SUBMIT BUTTON AND THEN PAY YOUR DUES ON PAYPAL.

If you are interested in joining us to see what we are all about, please send your Name and Email address with the Subject line “Zoom Invite Needed for Technical Night Meeting” to mytbcc@gmail.com so we can get the invitation to you.

Hope to see you at our Competition Night on January 15th and for this Technical Night on January 22.

Happy New Year!!
