November 2021 Meeting

Thursday, November 11, 2021 - 6:00pm to 7:45pm
The Center at Belvedere
Judge: 
Jim Hamel
Theme: 
Photos After Dark

Nighttime can be creepy--think Halloween! But it offers unusual photo ops. First, our cameras detect colors in dim light far better than our eyes do. Take a long exposure in moonlight and you’ll be astounded. But shooting at night also offers opportunities for interesting photos that just can’t happen in daylight. Pack your tripod and a flashlight if you want to do some creative light painting to your subject.

Meet & Greet 6:00 PM - 7:45 PM EDT

In-person at The Center and on Zoom

Jim Hamel will judge our competition.  Jim captures outstanding images across a wide range of subjects but especially enjoys night photography and "scapes"--land, sea and urban.  For the last three years, his photographs received a gold medal in the International Photography Competition conducted by the Professional Photographers of America.  Jim leads photo tours in Ireland and France.  He created a course in night photography for the Digital Photography School and in October presented a program on night photography for CCC.  Galleries of his work can be viewed at https://jimhamel.smugmug.com/browse.
