SCC Fall Schedule

A special thank you to Bert Sirkin for his excellent presentation on AI and Photography.  Bert covered all aspects of how AI is used in photography and what the expectations are for the future.  A very informative presentation!

Phil Echo did an excellent presentation on Expanding Your Vision.  This was the first part of a two part presentation which will discuss not only how to recognize a picture taking opportunity but also and more importantly it will challenge the traditional way of seeing the subject.  This two-part discussion will help guide photographers to increase the impact, storytelling and balance of their images. The second part will be virtual on November 19th. 

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.
