The image should have strong composition, pleasing quality, and color, texture, pattern, and/or tone impact. The appropriateness of the technique selected and pictorial merit is considered in judging. Small amounts of manipulating images (changing opacity, using filters, adding text, fantasy or textured backgrounds, etc) is NOT considered Creative. The content is unrestricted.

He will show his images, and discuss schedules, gear, and the travel challenges of traveling to an area that is no way as advanced as we are used to. He will talk about airport challenges, passport issues, Visas and vaccinations. And we will look at images and why this area speaks to his soul.

On October 24, 2023, Lancaster Photography Association is having a workshop for those who entered the Antelope Valley Fair that just ended. The meeting is at 6:00 p.m. at the Antelope Valley Senior Center, 777 W. Jackman Street, Lancaster. We will also have it on Zoom. 
We invite you to bring up to three prints that were entered in the fair or send via email up to 3 digital images that were entered (to kc_newman2001@yahoo.com).
We will have two of our judges go through the images and discuss what pros and cons your images have, and how you can improve for next year. This is of great benefit because it helps you to understand how the images are judged and how you can choose your entries for next year to be more successful.
The number of images from each person that will be critiqued will depend on how many people submit images, but we do want to make sure each person has at least 1-2 images addressed during the meeting.
Refreshments will be provided.

We encourage all our members to participate in our competitions as a way of getting feedback on your photography and learning ways to improve! I’m sure we all have some great nature images, so make sure you enter!
Our judge will be Joanne Stolte, who does an amazing job judging Nature photography!
The Nature class is reality-based. The definition below is long, but will help you decide which of your images will work best for this Class. In short, no man-made objects, no cloning or replacing backgrounds, realistic editing, 3-4 pixel white/gray border only (optional), no flowers except as background for insect/bird/animal as subject (excepting wildflowers).
Don’t forget to renew your membership (if you haven’t already) when you log in to enter your photos!
