Just a reminder, next week there will be no meeting at the High School since the school is closed for Yom Kippur. For those that are interested, we will be meeting at 7pm at Brian Boru. We will have a couple laptops with us to sit and discuss any photoshop or lightroom questions or problems you maybe having. Of course they have food/drink to order. If you are interested in coming, please message Michelle (field-trips@arundelcameraclub.org) and let me know so that I can reserve a table a head of time. Hope to see a few of you there.

Brian Boru – 489 Ritchie Hwy, Severna Park, MD 21146

The summer is coming to a close. The good news is that we are starting the 2018-2019 club year which marks the 62nd year for the Arundel Camera Club.

Meeting

Location: We will meet at the Severna Park High School (60 Robinson Rd, Severna Park, MD 21146).
Time: We voted to start our meetings this year at 7:00PM. So we will man the door from 6:30Pm-7:00PM. We will probably need someone to check the door again at 7:30 just in case. Hopefully someone has informed the custodian.
Room: We are still waiting to find out if we are in the same room or in a new room this year. Be patient.
Parking: We park in the teachers parking lot on the left of the school and come in a side door.

Based on club member feedback, we are going to try something new this club year. A number of club members wanted the opportunity to just come share and talk about their photographs. No competition, just talk.

So we are going to have photography challenges throughout the club year and meetings where we talk about the photos we took during those challenges. In the months of October, December, February, and April we will have photo challenges. In the months of November, January, March, and May we will have a meeting dedicated to discussing the photos taken by club members during the previous month’s challenge.

Monthly Photo Challenges

Monthly Photo Talks

Challenge photographs will be submitted digitally using the same processes used during digital competitions. Each club member may submit two digital images for each challenge. The images should have been taking during the challenge month. Photographers may not use older photographs from taken before these months.

Anne Arundel County Public Schools have been closed today due to weather. The meeting for 21 March has been cancelled. Stay home and safe.

Next week is our first meeting of the year. We will be meeting in the new Severna Park High school (60 Robinson Road, Severna Park, MD 21146-2899) in room 156. It’s easiest to park on the left side of the school in the Teacher Parking lot. You can find directions on our website http://arundelcameraclub.org/about-2/#directions

The doors are locked so we will man the door from around 7:00PM until the meeting starts at 7:30PM. There is no cell reception in the school.

I know we discussed changing the meeting location and times but in the end, we had to stick with the same location and times.

The subject of our first meeting will be an overview of the coming year and a “What I did over the Summer” Slideshow.

For the slideshow, submit three digital images by Tuesday evening to contests@arundelcameraclub.org. Please size them 1024px on the long side and make sure to send them as an attachment to your email.

Also note dues are now $35.00/year. Please bring a check made out to Arundel Camera Club.

See you Wednesday.

This Wednesday we start meeting at the new Severna Park high school. The school has given us room 156 on the first floor of the new high school in which to meet.
