Nighttime/Street Photography
We will meet at the Roberts Street Parking Ramp (corner of Roberts Street and 2nd Avenue North) for an evening of hands on nighttime photography. Bring your camera, tripod and portable lighting (if you have it). Sunset will be at 6:38pm, we plan to be there by 6:00 but come as you are able. After the sunset we will head down to Broadway and do street photography, light trails, portraits using storefront lights, etc. Please let us know if you have any other ideas.
Social distancing and masks are encouraged for the safety of all.

FMCC Education Night, November 19, 2020
Topic:
Judging Salon Entries
Goals:
- For each of us to better understand how other viewers respond to photographs.
- To be better able to critique our own photographs.
- For each club member to become comfortable judging the entries in at least one category
Discussion:
- The three criteria for evaluation: technique, composition, interest.
- What is meant by these terms.
- How to evaluate images according to each of these considerations.
“Hands on” judging exercise:
- As a group we’ll evaluate and score ten anonymous entries in the pictorial category according to Technique, Composition and Interest.
- We will rank the entries according to TCI scores.
- We’ll discuss how to provide comments that will be useful to the photographers and others participating in the salon.
Special consideration for various Salon categories:

Gordon Court will do a presentation on using radial filters in Lightroom. Sharon Watson will explain how the scoring for the annual awards is compiled throughout the year. She’ll also facilitate a discussion on converting images to black and white with tips on post-processing. This is intended to encourage both questions and answers from all interested members.
