Critique Night
Jun 27 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

The next competition is on July 8th. The critique night for it will be …….Sunday June 27th,  from 4 – 6 pm. The categories will be Pictorial, Journalism, Travel and Monochrome.

These critique sessions really work. Most of the time, a little tweak really can raise the impact of an image. Once and a while, we get rid of a loveable clunker that only the maker is attached to.

As a reminder, here is how the process works:

        – Please email me that you would be interested in getting up to 3 of your images reviewed. Also let me know what 15 minute time slot you would like between 4-6 pm

        – I will respond within a few hours and see if we can settle on a convenient time

        – No later than 2 days before the appointed evening, send me your images in the same format as you upload to competition

        – Also include your phone number and the image titles

– On the appointed time slot, I will call the number you gave me and we can discuss your images

– If I am running more than 5 minutes late, I will text or email you

SRPS July Outing – Sonoma Coast
Jul 10 all-day

SRPS July 2021 Outing

San Francisco by Ferry

 

Where             Sonoma Coast

Dates              Visit:                Saturday, July 10th

Upload:           Tuesday, July 13th

Zoom:              Friday, July 16th  at 5 pm

 

Description     The Larkspur ferry will allow participants to leave around 9:20 and arrive at the Ferry Building by about 10. For those who are challenged by seasickness and decide to drive, there are many parking garages nearby to the Ferry Building.

Upon arrival, it is suggested that everyone meet in front of the main Golden Gate Transit Building in the rear of the ferry building. From there, we can break into small groups and go off to explore the area.

                        It is truly a target rich environment:

– meander the ferry building shooting the wares

– sit across the street from the building and capture some of the local   fauna moving by

– walk the street and absorb the architecture

– try shooting shadows or movement

– or, when you step to the ferry rail, and shoot the city from the water

– and on and on

                       

                        Around 1:00, we will all meet for lunch. Depending on the number, we can either go the fast-food route or sit down in a casual restaurant. The return ferries run sporadically in the afternoon so plan your own trip home; you may want to stay longer.
