BPS Member Photo Competition & Critique Night.

May 22, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT

May 22 at 7:00 PM is BPS Member Photo Competition & Critique Night. This will be a LIVE, IN-PERSON session with our judge, R. Anthony Hoff, present at the GoggleWorks to give his critiques & then show a few submitted examples of his image edits with actionable suggestions. Refreshments will be served. Let’s have a big turnout. For those who decide not to join us at the GoggleWorks, the session will also run via Zoom.

The word “photograph” was coined in 1839 by polymath Sir John Herschel. Herschel based the word “photograph” on the Greek word ‘phos’, meaning ‘light’ and ‘graphe” meaning ‘drawing’. He wanted to describe the art of ‘drawing with light.’ So, in respect to the foundation of what we do, the theme for this event will be “The Emotion of Light” in both Pictorial & Nature. Light of any source & type must clearly play a prominent role in the images thus setting the mood & evoking its impact on the scene & the viewer. This can include a sunrise or sunset, a moon lit nightscape, car trails, city lights at night, the glow of candle light, fireworks, light painting, a rainbow, intense shadows, the drama before, during or after a storm, etc. The submission deadline is Sunday night May 7, 2023 at 12 MN. Every member is encouraged to participate. Don’t let it go to the last minute.

Anthony has a BA in Communications & Journalism, Radio-TV-Film. He has been a member of the Harrisburg Camera Club since 1986 & served as Club President for two terms. He has participated in numerous regional, national & international group & solo juried exhibitions. The Pennsylvania State Museum & the Susquehanna Art Museum have his images in their permanent collections as do private collectors. Anthony has given many varied educational photography programs & he has been judging & critiquing photography competitions since 2002.
