It's a new opportunity...
If you would like to have your photographs critiqued or commented on by other club members, but want to remain anonymous... simply send your photograph(s) to Charles Schneider, a member who has offered his time to upload the photos to a Flickr.com account set-up for the purpose of being Critiqued. Every club member will have the opportunity to comment on any photograph on this account. We feel it will be a great opportunity to see your images through other members eyes. A critique is a subjective process, but there are some rules and guidelines that will teach the qualities and techniques for a good photograph. We will displaying some general guidelines on the website that will help explain how to critique. So please join us and help build this new aspect of our club by sending your photographs to: chas_schneider@comcast.net NO NAMES NEED BE POSTED...Justo email your photos and sit back and see what others will share that can help you grow as a photographer. Thanks!

Snapshots: Tip of the Month...
Welcome to the February 2010 column of Tips for members, by Caroline Roach. Thanks!
Do you constantly find fault with your own photographs?
Are your photographs not quite right but you do not know why?
Would you like to know what the judges in a photographic exhibit consider important?
If you are saying yes, to these questions, then you need to say yes to attending our Paducah Photography Club meeting on Monday evening March 1, 2010. Todd Birdsong and Randy Simmons from WKCTC will be presenting the program and the subject is "Critique". Their presentation at our club in 2009 was one of the top programs of the year. They are entertaining and have great useful information presented in a very understandable format. It will be even more fun for you if you submit some of your own photographs to be critiqued - they will not know the name of the photographer.
My tip of the month - do not miss our meeting and program on critique. Also hit google - type in critique of photographs and read up on the information presented there. A little time spent in preparing for the program will make it even more beneficial to you. Happy shooting and see you at the meeting.
E-mail photos to Suzanne at:
andy.suz_roach@att.net
She will remove names and send to Todd and Randy to format for the meeting.

March meeting and photo challenge...
March's program will be a presentation by Randy Simmons and Todd Birdsong. Randy and Todd will teach us how to critique our own work and the work of others. They will also cover the basics of composition. Everyone who wishes to have their images critiqued by Todd and Randy needs to upload 2 images to the club flickr site. If you do not have a flickr account, you can email the images to me directly and I will forward them to Todd and Randy. Todd and Randy will not know who's image is whose...your name will not appear with the photograph, so the critique will be anonymous.
The photo challenge is Architectural Details. Time frame: Past 30 days
Mission: Look closely at some details in the architecture around you either in your city/town or rural location. Perhaps take a road trip to an area that is filled with decaying architecture. How can you make the detailing in the photograph interesting? shoot from an unusual angel? What about lighting? Side lighting usually works well in creating interesting shadows and highlighting details. What can you do to make the shapes work in your composition? Are there patterns which might make it a good abstract? Can you change the depth of field to bring interest to the subject?
