We had another great turnout, with over 50 people and two new visitors attended this evening, for competition night. The theme was “Trips & Travel”. Entries ranged trips just outside the Antelope Valley to around the world!
Our program this month was a digital show presented by LPA members, Tylene Trout and John Shedrick.
Tylene shared photos from her recent trip to Africa, and gave pointers on how to pack for a photo adventure outside the country.
What a great turnout! Over 50 people and many new visitors attended this evening, for competition night.
Over 50 people, including 6 visitors, attended our meeting.
Our program this evening, “The Art of Photographing Children” was presented by Julie Sutton, of Sutton Photography. Numerous beautiful, very professional looking, award winning photos were on display, and digitally projected.
Over 41 people attended our meeting. We had a couple of visitors, one of which is ready to turn 100 years old! Joshua Robison 14 years old joined LPA tonight and is now our youngest member. His Grandpa, Gary, was the lucky winner of the 50/50 drawing and won $70.50.
Over 52 people (and a couple of visitors) showed up for our second competition of the photo year, with many beautiful prints, slides, and digital entries (click to see Division A and Division 
, all of a Nature theme.
Our judge, Diane Racey, joined her first camera club in 1981, has been a school photographer since 1982, and a very active member of PSA since 1985, as well as an active member of S4C. Diane started her photographic expedition in the darkroom, with black & white, and has now gone digital. She has a background in Fine Arts. Diane’s critiquing session was an excellent learning experience for all.
“Insights into Photography” by Marshall La Plante
Over 50 members were present tonight for a special digital photo presentation by photographer Marshall La Plante. He currently specializes in editorial work, with a focus on aerial action adventure, aircraft-to-aircraft, aerial scenic and extreme sports photography. He also has a passion for photographing Los Angeles cityscapes.
Marshall’s photos were unique, full of emotion, patterns, and vivid color. His comment, “no rules apply, think about what is marketable” adds a whole new level of creativity to photography.
What a turnout! We had over 68 people in attendance, surely a new record. Many new faces were present, and quite a few of them joined the club. Most of the visitors found out about the club when visiting the photography exhibit at the AV Fair.
Another “first” happened tonight, as we had added digital entries to our competition schedule. Over 50 digital entries were displayed, judged, and critiqued. Entries were broken down into 2 categories (A-Advanced/Amateur and B-Novice/Amateur). Congratulations to Ken Kuehne on his 1st place entry “Wendy’s Balloon”, and to John Shedrick for his 1st place winner, “Moss In Water”. This was our “test run” for digital competitions, and Paul Craft, our digital competition chairperson, did an amazing job.
