Voted for Most
Valuable Person for 2004, to be announced at the banquet… Bev has a new book about Game preserves in Grand Prix 2005 List and Rules: (entry deadline is November 21, 2005 –
no exceptions.) The goal
of Grand Prix 2005 is to photograph four (4) different images of each of the
five (5) subjects listed below (for a total of 20 images) on one roll of
slide film. In addition to the 20
required images, there is an allowance for four (4) mistakes or ‘oops’ images
for a total of 24 opportunities to complete the assignment. Two rolls of film may be used, but all 24
exposures must be contiguous within the two rolls in order to qualify. For example, 15 images may be on the end of
roll one, while the remaining 9 images are at the beginning of roll two. The
subjects may be interpreted in any fashion you like. Record the frame number of each image, note
if it is “horizontal” or “vertical” and give a brief description of the
picture. Have your
film processed and sent directly to Pat Lindsay (c/o your name), Each image
will be judged separately for interpretation and creativity, as well as the
usual photographic standards. Each
image will be awarded points for 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
and /or HM (if there are enough entries).
The highest total award score of the 20 images will receive a medal
and the traveling trophy for one year.
Ribbons will be awarded to the other winners – the number of which is dependent
on the number of entries. The winners
will be announced at the Grand Prix presentation sometime after January 1,
2006 and at that time everyone will see their slides for the first time. It’s
wonderful exercise, forcing you to think about how to capture the image in
your mind’s eye. No one completes it
without a sense of having learned a lot while enjoying the challenge of the
process. Get out there, have fun,
think, plan, and capture those great images! If you
have any questions, contact Pat Lindsay at: eaglehillacres@juno.com or ______________________________________________________________________ GRAND PRIX

Board Meeting notes: This

La Salle Bank (Standard Federal's new name) on Big
Beaver in Photoshop
Study Group – It was agreed that we should not buy the CD set, and it was
agreed that we should not try to have another session…. It's difficult to
schedule a time and place, too few came for the first session, someone needs
to provide a projector and laptop computer, and anyone can rent the CDs from
PSA if they want to. Rick Sammon Seminar – GDCCC will host a seminar featuring Rick
Sammon on 9/24/05.
$45 per person. Website www.ricksammon.com. He presents on digital photography but is
user-friendly, less technical. He is a
working professional photographer, sponsored by Canon, and will have books,
CDs and software to sell. Digital
Projection Division (DPD) – Motor City, Photo Guild, Pontiac and West Oakland
have all been holding club Digital Projection competitions this year. The question was raised asking when we
could officially start interclub DPD competitions. Susan K. Browne will chair a committee
(Judy Yaker, John Kroll, Joe
Sroka) to write up draft rules for creation of a
new Digital Projection Division. We
will hold two trial runs (Thursday, September 29 – Hosted by |
