Sparta starts off the Year with Two Informative Presentations

Pik Nik's Brain


 Nick Palmieri started off the season with his informal discussion, Pick Nik's Brain.  Nick shared some of his techniques for taking photos and answered technical questions from the meeting attendees.  Nick also commented on photos submitted by members for his review.


Traveling With Your Camera


Three SCC Members, Bob  Kochenthal, Virginia Kolstad, and Frank Urbaniak gave a presentation on Travel Photography.  They covered how to select a location, what to consider when booking a photo tour and tips on how to find photo spots on your own.  They also gave some basic travel tips and shared some of their photos.

Outings!

Child Park Waterfalls and Fall Foliage:


The club held an outing at Child's Park in the Delaware Watergap on Tuesday, October 20.  Members had a great time taking photos of the waterfalls and the fall foliage.  They also had a chance to talk with other members and share their knowledge on photography.


Milky Way at Lusscroft Farms


September gave us a successful Milky Way Outing.  A great chance to practice our skills with clear night skies.  The Milky Way was clearly visible and fun for all to shoot.

SCC Outing to White Lake



It was a great day for an outing to photograph butterflies, dragonflies, bees and wildflowers at White Lake Natural Resource Area.  Sean Garvin showed us how to photograph insects using flash.  The butterflies and dragonflies were plentiful.  Thanks everyone for joining us!  (A few latecomers joined us after the photo was taken.)

SCC Summer Picnic

 

A beautiful day and great food and company.  SCC's summer picnic last weekend was a great success.  Thanks to all who contributed and to Bob Kochenthal for offering his home for this event.  


                  



Milky Way Outing


Although conditions were not optimal, everyone still had a great time at the SCC Milky Way Outing on Monday.   Thanks to Bob for providing the location.  SCC Milky Outings are a good opportunity to learn how to shoot the night skies.  Our next Milky Way outing will be in August.  (Photo by Frank Urbaniak)


                  


Waterloo Village


Although it was rainy at Waterloo Village this weekend, many SCC members braved the weather to join us for Canal Day festivities.  The buildings were open and the pontoon boat was running and there were plenty of opportunities for photography.  In addition, we were treated to a presentation on historical Waterloo.  Thanks to Stephen Van Houten for organizing. 


              


Sandy Hook Life Saving Station


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.  

  

     




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!
