SCC Winter Schedule

After a great fall with Bert Sirkin and Phil Echo, we have even a better winter schedule for the club.  

The following meetings are scheduled:

User Groups (for members only) on Lightroom/Photoshop/Creating Photo Art/and Using AI to create pictures.  There will also be a photo critique for those who would like some feedback on their photos.

There will be several presentations including the Art of Photographing Trees by Mark Bowie, Different Perspectives by Jay Cohen and Long Exposure by Frank T. Smith.  In addition, Clark Warren will Interview several club members on their editing and photographic skills.  See upcoming events for more information on these meetings as they come up or download the club calendar under the Events Tab.  

Outings!

Another great outing to Sandy Hook to photograph the recently opened Sandy Hook Life Saving Station.  They will use the photos taken by the members to advertise the Station in the future.  

Two recent outings were both great fun!  SCC Photographers were testing their skills as these high speed boats took to the air.  You can see the photos on the club's Facebook page.  Several members visited the Sussex County Sunflower Maze in Sandyston to photograph the Milky Way.  It was a beautiful clear night.  Great for night photography.

White Lake Outing:  a hot humid day did not discourage SCC photographers or the butterflies and dragonflies that were the focus of this outing.  The group had a great time in spite of the heat and many of these beautiful insects were captured by some very talented photographers.  (Photo by Pete Rathjens)

Sparta Historical Society/Van Kirk House Museum

Another great outing to the Van Kirk Museum in Sparta, NJ.  The museum is owned by the Sparta Historical Society.  SCC Members photographed the many historical items at the museum and had an opportunity to view the current quilt display.

Child's Park, Pennsylvania

A cool and cloudy day aided  SCC members in getting some great photos of the waterfalls at Child's Park recently.   Long exposure was the theme of the day.  Members were able to practice using their neutral density filters to slow down the falls and emphasize the whirlpools.  A fun day for everyone!

Liberty State Park in New Jersey!

Weather scared off several attendees but those who came enjoyed good weather and great views to shoot. ( A few of the attendees pictured below.) The cherry blossoms were out which enhanced the photo taking experiences.  Everyone had a great time.

Fonthill Castle, Doylestown, PA.

A long drive but well worth it for SCC members.  A private tour was organized in March which gave members a great opportunity to take pictures throughout the castle.  Many of the members also toured the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works which was nearby.
