Yesterday’s Meeting + Next’s Week’s Plan

In yesterday’s meeting, we used THIS site to teach you panning. Please use this site for more practice if you can and collect good photos for our PhotC ‘10 ‘Yarbook’.

PhotC is meeting next Tuesday on November 24th, but you can leave early at 4:30 p.m. We might be doing macro-box photography on that day, and the Council will probably bring some baked goods to share. For this next meeting, please bring a small, visually interesting object to macro.

Meanwhile, Council members must stay behind next Tuesday, as we’ll be heading to the H/White Windmill/Mozart right after we let out to plan for the rest of the semester and the next, ESPECIALLY THE PHOTOSHOW. Council MUST show up. We’ll most likely be taking the meeting to 5:30pm.

• Also, if possible, try to make a light tent over the weekend using THIS site.

And, of course: FLICKR, FLICKR, FLICKR! We’re only getting participation from maybe four members. We want to see more!

If you’re new, please email the club (nhsphotc@gmail.com) with ‘PHOTC NEWBIE’ in the subject, so we can add you.

Bubble Photography Information

For the October 20th meeting, please bring bubble wands/bubble mix (bubble mix can be made with dishwashing soap + water) and your cameras.

Also, you should be keeping large versions of your photo (a minimum of 2000 px across) in landscape format for when we publish the end of year book, which includes edited photos.
 

New Attendance Policy

You must attend at least 2 meetings a month. Preferably more, but if you cannot, you must make the effort to come to at least 2 meetings a month. If you know in advance that you cannot attend the meeting, please email us in advance to let us know for an excused absence. Excused absences count for half an attendance. If you are on probation, you must attend 3 meetings the next month to get off the probation list. If you only attend 2 meetings, you will continue to stay on the probation list but will not be kicked out. If you attend 1 meeting or do not go to any meetings at all while on the probation list, you will be kicked out of PhotC. If you wish to rejoin after being kicked out, you will need to pay another club entrance fee of $5. Because this policy was not clearly announced before, the month of September did not count. This policy will begin in October 2009. If you have any questions, please contact Jenny Min or another PhotC officer. Thank you for your cooperation.

Also, please continue to submit your pictures (especially the silhouette ones) to Flickr!

Reminder

Please remember to upload your pictures to Flickr and if you haven’t done so already, submit them to the group.

And if you haven’t registered for an account yet or haven’t joined the group, please do so.

PS: Jenny Min, please get the attendance together (if you haven’t done it already). Also – Get well soon, Dina, Jenny, and Cherry! : )

Informamations

and reminders.

Remember to sign up for flickr guys – and when you do, join the NHS Photography Club group.  Upload your photos to your account and add them to the group pool if there are any in particular you really like

If any of you couldn’t make it this week, we went over lots of basic information about photography and had a practice shooting in the courtyard.

Regardless of if you made it or not, here’s some useful links :]

overexcited link text:

EXPOSURE!!

RULE OF THIRDS!!

MACROS!!

So look over those, all of you.  Even if you think you know these things it might still help.  Probably.

As a closing reminder, if you haven’t yet paid the $5 and still plan to come, please remember next week!

Comment here or Email NHSPhotC@gmail.com for any concerns.

First Post of the Year!

Well, I was apparently appointed website-person, so I guess I should get used to the prospect.

I’m not even sure if new members were told about the website. But I’m updating anyway, since it’s the first meeting and all.

First meeting has passed! If you decide to show up next week, here are some things to note:

• Bring Camera! (Again, camera phones don’t count.) We’ll be using them next week!
• Bring Dues! $5 – if you didn’t already do this, you need to bring it in next week. Cash only please – we don’t do checks.
• Flickr Account! Make one and upload your best picture(s) onto it as a sample, if you have any (if not, take some).

I think that’s about it.  If I forgot anything I’ll update this or something.

…Welcome to PhotC! -awkward smile-

Concerning future meetings

 

I realize that we’re all probably getting tired of this chain of emails but this is, once again, very important. (GUYS WHO STILL HAVEN’T SENT PHOTOS JENNY I AM LOOKING AT YOU PRZ BE SENDING. once again, please utilize www.sendspace.com for your large zipping. )

 

WE NEED EVERYONE TO SHOW UP NEXT MEETING. If you don’t recall why-

 

1. there’s a huge possibility we’re presenting the Zeus Book to Z himself that day. (Someone remind me to write the note to put in there.)

 

2. it will be the Awards Day for PhotC. We can’t pull off something as ~special~ as like VIP or Honors Night but we’re doing our own little ceremony. It’ll be supremely informal and casual.

 

3. I’ll be going through and showing you guys the shots I took from the wallshoot the day Ayane’s box came. Remember posing against NHS’s brick wall outside? I need approval for which shot you guys like best to publish in the book.

 

We actually only have two more meetings left- this year went by fast. I don’t know how the rest of you feel but I’m sort of shocked. Epsi and I will be pulling together the photobook and going after Cherry for the funds to buy it- and hopefully we’ll have it by the end of this school year, although most likely not in time for the last meeting. (The Zeus book kind of took it out of us.)

 

I’m vaguely thinking of planning an end of year party for the meeting after next- what do you think? I have this idea of us going to Hmart or Mozart and using the rest of our funds (I’ll probably get the rest if it’s not enough) for a cake to split with all the members. And we’ll celebrate by all macroing the food before we eat it. Let me know of your thoughts on this~

 

Other than that, thanks for a supremely awesome year. You two freshies, you guys are awesome. You’ll be carrying on our legacy when we’re gone!
