MONTHLY MEETING & CRITIQUES
|
The purpose of the critique is to learn. We learn about lighting, composition, exposure, subject selection and so much more. Your photograph is critiqued to provide you with information on what is great AND what needs some skill sharpening.
When: 2nd Thursday of every month
Where: 7pm at The Village - 9222 Corbin Ave. in Northridge Meeting will also be availabel via ZOOM Sessions Please check in at the front desk to receive a name badge. What: At the beginning of our meetings, members and guests are welcomed and brought up to date on any new club news. We ask our judges to make a short (usually about 15 minutes) presentation relevant to our current assignment. This does not always occur, however, we do our best to schedule them. Members are welcome to submit photographs for critique by a professional photographer. We ask all of our judges to follow our Image Scoring guidelines. The Judge awards 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons to the top 3 print images and top 3 digital images, and those images will be featured in the website's Assignment Gallery. Don't be discouraged if you don't get 10's . Please remember - ART IS SUBJECTIVE - When your work is critiqued, this is being done by one photographer who comes to the table with their own judging style and preferences. |

Print Image Presentation Rules
Please be aware that image presentation for awards will be limited to photos being matted or being flush mounted on foam board. While the judge is to score the print, photos presented in mats that are dirty or bent may result in lower critique scores. Make the effort to show your work in the most positive manner. Framed photos are no longer accepted due to the potential damage to the other photographs awaiting critique and potential damage to the frame itself. Digital only images continue to be accepted and will be critiqued by the judge; however only printed images are eligible for awards. |
