BPC Holiday Celebration

Meet in the University Room at the Indiana University Memorial Union for our annual gathering with friends and family. Bring food items, but no drinks. Drinks, both soft and hard, will be provided at minimal cost by the Indiana Memorial Union. A photoshare is included for all who would like to bring images.

Program: This will be the best-of-the-best images created by our Bloomington Photography Club Focus Groups.  The Focus Group leaders will present a compilation of pictures and videos that reflect the talents of the members and their efforts during the current year. Prepare to be amazed!  

Photoshare.

Please note that this meeting we will be meeting in Room 1C.

If you have photos you would like to share with the group this evening, please bring them.  Also, please bring your six photos for the Year-end Focus Groups Presentation that will take place at the December 4th regular club meeting. The photos should be approximately 11 inches on the long side if in landscape format, or 7 inches on the long side if in portrait format. The resolution does not matter much as the images will be in a Powerpoint. Please put them in a folder labeled with your name, and numbered in the order in which you want them shown.

Parking and entrance at the rear. All members are encouraged to attend.

Photoshare: Please bring on a flash drive the six images you would like included in the Annual Focus Groups Presentation at the regular BPC club meeting on December 4th. If you cannot attend the Creative Techniques meeting, please send them to jstarkfrey@comcast.net. The images should be in a folder labeled with your name and should be numbered in the order in which you want them shown. Don’t worry about the size as they will be put into a Powerpoint presentation.

At this annual meeting the club's entire calendar of events for the coming year is determined. Photoshare topics, speakers, field trips, exhibits, and more are proposed, discussed, and selected.

Guest Speaker: Speaker: Jeff Belth. "Since the mid-1990s, Mr. Belth's main artistic expression has been through photography, primarily of butterflies. His extensive field work and artistic background eventually led to the production of his book, Butterflies of Indiana: A Field Guide, which he wrote, designed, and illustrated with his photographs. It was published by the Indiana University Press in November, 2012. The book garnered many positive reviews and accolades, including the 2013 National Outdoor Book Award for best Nature Guidebook." His presentation at our meeting will include discussion of his techniques and equipment, concluding with a selection of his favorite photos. Not to be missed!    

This will be our yearly meeting to share photos, turn in your choices for the yearly Focus Group Show in December, and brainstorm some events for next year. Please spend some time this coming week picking out your favorite new Macros. 
Bring your entries for the presentation on a thumb drive or CD so Tammy Brown can put together our show.  You can bring up to 6 photos, renamed so the titles look like this:  YourNameMacro01 (etc. up to 06). If you can't make the Oct. 28 meeting, please see that Tammy gets your images by Nov.7. Her email is:  telobrown@gmail.com

Guidelines for Photoshares: Up to eight (8) images per person. Please use these dimensions for your images:

If you want the images shown in a particular order, rename them, adding numbers at the start of the file name, e.g., 01-IMG_567, 02-IMG_428.
Please put your images in a separate folder using this format: !BPCOct-YourName. The exclamation point serves to put the folder at the top of any other folders you may have on your flashdrive/cd, making the loading process much easier for the person doing that task.
