SUMMARY:BPS Member Photo Competition & Critique Night  "Monochrome Imagery"  ********UPDATE*******
DESCRIPTION:Last Minute\nUPDATE on BPS October Photo Competition & Critique\n“Monochrome Imagery”\nBy Vince Pellegrini \n\nBecause of a medical issue\, our scheduled judge for this competition\, Lewis Katz\, had to step aside. But\, no fears. Arrangements have been made for Pete Morton to step in to judge & critique our images on October 28\, 2024. Pete is a certified judge who is  especially fond of monochrome photography. \nIn 2019 Pete attended a judge training program and was certified by the Maryland Photography Alliance. He has subsequently judged photography competitions for dozens of camera clubs in numerous states and for the PSA. Pete has given presentations about judging photography\, landscape photography\, informal portrait photography & advanced Photoshop techniques\, among others. Pete was elected to be a PSA Associate. He is active in the PSA Digital Dialogue Study Groups & administers a group focused on monochrome photography. Additionally\, he is currently involved in managing a PSA monochrome competition of 17 international camera clubs. \nHis involvement in judging photography competitions has led to Pete’s philosophy about judges’ comments & suggestions. He believes that photographers should never blindly accept a judge’s critiques. Instead\, their input should be carefully weighed & the photographer should decide which comments they agree with. In fact\, anyone’s honest thoughts about a photographer’s work can be useful. Pete believes that learning from suggestions of others is how we grow as artists. \nPete accepted invitations to lecture on digital photography at the college level in Cornwall\, England & later to teach advanced Photoshop techniques to professional photographers in London. \nWe have an extremely qualified judge for our Monochrome competition\, rest assured. \nSee you all at 7:00 PM on October 28\, either at the GoggleWorks or on Zoom. \nZOOM LINK FOR OCTOBER 28:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82781546515?pwd=8dtbTA266Gj8BtaR7076fIDaQG4WTh.1\nMeeting ID: 827 8154 6515\nPasscode: 615357

SUMMARY:March Competition - "A Time to Reflect"
DESCRIPTION:March Competition – “A Time to Reflect”\nBy James Egitto \nOur theme for this competition is A Time to Reflect. Sometimes it’s the reflections that catch our eye and inspire our compositions. Maybe it’s a reflection in water\, glass\, metal\, or a pupil. Maybe it’s a mirror image\, or an abstract distortion\, or a hidden detail\, or that double-exposure effect created by a window. \nReflect on what you can create in the next few weeks and show us what you’ve got.  Categories are Nature and Pictorial\, and the submission deadline is midnight\, Sunday March 16\, 2025. . The judging/critique will be on March 31. \nAll members are encouraged to get out and shoot for this competition. If you are new to the club\, we hope you’ll give it a try. If you’ve been a member forever and have never entered a competition\, now’s the time. If you always enter – do it again! Look around – reflective surfaces are everywhere – lakes\, ponds\, puddles\, plastic\, metal\, or windows!\nYou can read all of the details on BPS competitions HERE. \nOur judge for this competition is Michael Brown. Here’s some of what Michael had to say when we asked him about himself: \n“To me\, photography is an exercise of mindfulness – a respect for what I see\, and the tools I work with. My photos are an expression of what interests me. I enjoy exploring the subject of my interest with the camera. It is a means for me to better understand the world around me\, and it doesn’t matter if thousands of others took photos from the same perspective because the perspective is new to me\, the exploration and visualization are new to me. \nI’ve been critiquing photographs and portfolios for 15 years. Recently I was certified as a competition judge by the Maryland Photography Alliance which offers and provides guidance\, training\, presentations\, and competition judging to its member camera clubs. \nI assess photographs the same way I assess any art\, if it grabs my attention\, I get closer. If it holds my attention and is compelling\, I explore. During exploration\, I critique. What do I like or don’t like? Why? How can it be improved\, or what would make it better? A photograph has to inform me\, tell me something I don’t already know\, or provide me a unique perspective to something I do know. \nAs with all art\, critiques of photographs are subjective\, therefore prone to error and bias. Yes\, there are technical aspects of captured images that can be measured\, but what role they play in making an image compelling is up to the viewer.”
