JULY PROGRAM

“A RETROSPECTIVE:PHOTOQUEST 2011″.

ROBIN CLARK

In 2011, I was approached by the club to act as judge for that year’s PhotoQuest.  The July program will take a look at several award winning photographs from that show and ‘pick them apart’ critically speaking.  Discussion and/or Q&A time will round out the program.’

This piece was visually unified by a variety of textures…A solitary red garment hangs slightly off center, near the edge of the picture plane, amid several others that are nondescript”…serving as the focal point for the photo

PHOTOQUEST 2024

25th ANNIVERSARY JUBILEE

We are excited to be celebrating 25 years of PhotoQuest !

PhotoQuest 2024 is our Camera Club’s yearly Exhibit and “Members-only” Photo Contest that will be displayed for a month at Kerr Art & Culture Center. Our purpose is to share with the public the awesome talent of our club members, and also provide an opportunity for members to offer their pieces for purchase, should they choose to do so.

This is a “judged” show, and winners will receive beautiful ribbons in each of three categories, along with a Best of Show , a People’s Choice award.

PhotoQuest 2024 will run August 8 through September 7th.
Check-in will be August 5, 2024

Plans are in the making for an exciting exhibition!

JULY PHOTOSHARE

“HIGH KEY”

High Key Lighting is all about minimizing the contrast and shadows while keeping the detail.  The “key”or main light, is primarily aimed directly toward your subject, not from the side or back, providing the lighting to produce a bright image with very minimal contrast and shadows.

Though High Key is common in portraiture, you can apply high key lighting to still life subjects.  When composing your shot, using a light background will reduce your post processing.
