Sunny 16 Camera Club Minutes October
President, Tommy Hatcher, began the meeting by asking for a moment of silence for two members who have lost loved ones recently.
The challenge for next month is Street Photography. There are some rules about this that you might need to find out before just going out and shooting. At the 4th Tuesday meeting at the Depot they will be discussing these rules. If you need to know them before, get in touch with Bill Dow or Keith Bridgman. I totally put that in without asking either of them, but feel both would be happy to assist.
Upcoming events:
3rd Saturday, the 20th, is the picnic at Julie Barrick’s farm again. Everyone enjoyed it this summer. It’s potluck and there will be corn hole, fishing, and the slinging of steel wool that gets great results in photos. Donn Miertl’s Beginner’s class will meet there and work. The event runs from 3:00-6:00ish. Bring some food and a chair and plan on having a great time.
4th Tuesday, as mentioned, they will be discussing the Do’s and Don’ts of Street Photograph, the legality of it, etc. Also, bring images for critiques.
November 3rd, another trip to Louisville for a class with Mike Matthews on Macro. Bring your camera and a Speedlight. The members who went before got some amazing results. The cost is $125 and must still be paid if you can’t make it, unless someone takes your place. You can pay him that day. The group will probably stop somewhere on the way back to shoot.
Thursday was the drop off for prints going into the exhibition at the church that is also in conjunction with the Gallery Hop. They will go up Friday, today, and there is a reception for the Gallery Hop at the church from 5:30-8:00. They could use a few hors d’oeuvres (chips and dip, small sandwiches, cookies, etc.—finger foods).
The speaker at the next meeting is Theo Wellington, astronomy and night photography through telescopes. Cool stuff.
Next month will be good for nature shots and the nature photography group will have a shoot planned. Places were discussed, such as Brigadoon where there is a small waterfall and lots of nature to shoot. Mammoth Cave area is always good. State parks, too.
The Print Analysis group is thinking of getting a conference room at the library for judges to use for judging and the club members are invited to attend and see how it’s done and what is used to critique. In December, all the prints entered will be on display for a final vote.
October 16th, club member, Keith Bridgman, will give another class at the Bob Kirby Library on Taking Photography to the Next Level. He’s done this before and it was well-attended and highly praised. People learned quite a lot. Keith is an excellent photographer and a good teacher. Consider taking the class. It’s through Community Education.
We saw a slideshow of both the challenge, Intentional Camera Movement, and the opencategory. Both had some excellent photos in them and there was discussion on some of the more unique shots.
Our speaker for the meeting was Lisa Deavers, the Executive Director of Gallery on the Square in Franklin. The club has exhibited there a couple of times. The Gallery has been there for 26 years and is in a lovely old building right on Main Street. They have several different mediums of art and are part of the Simpson County Artists and Craftsman. They’ve asked us to be part of an exhibit in 2020 about how Franklin and Simpson County were formed from parts of three counties. The discussion centered around how photographers could make money. Exposure was the best answer. Ms. Deavers was both interesting and informative.
The club had a discussion about making plans to connect with other photo clubs for either a meet and greet or joint projects or shows. It would be great to share information with others.
The dues will be raised next year, starting with the January meeting, though if you wanted to join for next year in November, you could. Our December meeting is our big potluck at the church, not a business meeting.
Nominations for board officers will be taken, those being,
President,
Vice President,
Secretary, and
Treasurer.
The new dues will be as follows:
$36-Single $50-Family $18-Student
What did I forget?

Nice job on the keeping up with the meeting notes Alison.
Per a Board Meeting on October 25, there was an amendment to the dues increase for 2019. This will be announced at the November second Tuesday meeting.
