SUMMARY:“Wabi-Sabi” presented by Lisa & Tom Cuchara
DESCRIPTION:On November 16 at 7:30 PM\, Lisa & Tom Cuchara will present their new program “Wabi-Sabi” via Zoom. This program will explore the beauty of imperfect and/or unconventional subjects. This program highlights subjects that are not perfect\, such as flowers that have character\, double headed flowers\, decaying fall leaves\, the deformed coneflower that stands out as flawed and hence different and beautiful\, rust as it creates abstract patterns amidst the decay\, etc. We will also explore the concept of slowing down and appreciating the beauty of everyday life\, things that might be overlooked. Wabi-Sabi teaches one to find beauty in everyday life. It is a kind of anti-aesthetic\, an alternative to the dominating discriminatory ideas we hold about beauty.\n“Wabi” means a beauty of elegant imperfection. “Sabi” means aloneness. Together\, they suggest the beauty of ‘the withered\, weathered\, tarnished\, scarred\, intimate\, coarse\, earthly\, evanescent\, tentative\, ephemeral’ ~ Crispin Sartwell\, Six Names of Beauty. It is used to describe a particular philosophy that beauty can be found in the old\, the everyday\, the imperfect. \nLisa Cuchara\, PhD\, Master Craftsman (PPA)\, Master of Photography (M. Photog.) HonNEC is very passionate about photography and enjoys both being behind the lens and in the digital darkroom. She loves to photograph nature but finds many subjects equally intriguing. Lisa and her husband Tom are known for their expertise in Photography and in Photoshop\, and for their inspirational and informative photography workshops. Lisa has created numerous award-winning photographic images and enjoys sharing her vision\, passion and her knowledge! Her photographs have appeared in Adirondack Life\, Wild Bird\, Birder’s World\, in calendars\, on the cover of a fictional paperback novel\, in galleries and exhibitions\, and been accepted into the PPA loan collection. Lisa & Tom have published two books with Amherst Media “Create Fine Art Photographs from Historic Places and Rusty Things” and “The Frog Whisperer”. Check out Lisa and Tom and their photography classes\, photo tours and workshops at www.photographybylisaandtom.com. \nThis free meeting will be held via Zoom. Details are in the BPS member center on our website.

SUMMARY:Attitude\, Inspiration and Composition: A No BS Approach To Photography - Rich Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Rich returns to BPS after his very well received presentation on “Both Sides of Judging” in February 2020. This new talk isn’t a lesson in basic composition\, it is a serious but entertaining look at the 3 fundamental building blocks required to create great photography.\nRich has been a professional and fine art photographer since the 1970’s with a passion for landscapes\, abandoned buildings and interesting people. He uses both a professional digital camera and an iPhone to create his work. Rich’s inspiration comes from landscape painters and has developed a style he calls “Painting with a Camera.” This involves equal effort in both creating and post processing an image. Richard is an active photography blogger\, lecturer\, and instructor and conducts workshops in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and other places to help photographers find their unique creative voice. His website: RichardLewisPhotography.com\nDetails are in the BPS member center on our website. This will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation.

SUMMARY:"How to Photograph Nature in High Key Style" -  Presentation by Lisa Langell
DESCRIPTION:September 28 Presentation by Lisa Langell\nRegister now! \nLisa Langell will give an amazing BPS webinar on September 28 at 7:30 PM titled “How to Photograph Nature in High Key Style”. We are very fortunate to have Lisa speak to BPS through a special program sponsored by the Photographic Society of America. Thank you to Larry Stamm for forwarding this opportunity. \nHigh key photography is a powerful\, evocative and often ethereal type of photography. It involves creating images where there is a dominance of white or bright tones. It is a type of photography that goes against most “traditional” styles and “rules” of nature photography. It requires the right circumstances – the right light\, subject\, and setting – in order for the magic of High Key photography to work. This class will introduce participants to the genre of High Key photography\, which can be one of the most artistic forms of nature photography that can be done in-camera and/or a combination of in-camera and post processing. You will learn: what lighting conditions are best (and worst) for high-key photography; the settings that are generally recommended for creating high-key work; what foregrounds and backgrounds work best for high key photography; composition tips for this style of photography; post processing tips to create the final look. \nThis webinar is designed to be fun\, educational and interactive. You will be able to chat with Lisa throughout the webinar! This isn’t your boring\, old “sit and get” webinar — this is engaging\, fun and designed to meet YOUR needs! \nWhether it was previously working as a master floral designer\, a licensed psychologist\, university faculty\, an international consultant in K-12 education\, the Chief Business Development Officer of an education technology company\, a researcher\, a writer\, or an artist – Lisa enjoyed meeting each challenge. In 2015\, she successfully transitioned to photography full-time and left the corporate and consulting world behind. Lisa is an award-winning professional photographer whose work has appeared in numerous prestigious publications\, including the cover of Outdoor Photographer magazine for its first digital edition in June 2020 on this exact topic\, plus numerous images in Arizona Highways\, Ranger Rick\, art galleries and more. She currently sits on the Board of Directors for the North American Nature Photography Association. She is also a proud ambassador for Tamron\, FotoPro\, and  H&Y filters. \nLisa Langell may be found at these sites:\nhttp://www.langellphotography.com and https://www.youtube.com/langellphotograph. You can also follow her on Instagram. \nTo participate in this special BPS webinar session via Zoom\, BPS members will need to use this link to register.There will not be a BPS Zoom link for this unique meeting & you must register in advance. Registration is free for BPS members & only takes a minute. Do it today before you forget and get left out. You will receive a confirmation email with the session details. The session will also be recorded & made available to all BPS registrants even if you cannot attend the webinar. During the registration\, you can uncheck the Eventbrite box if you want to avoid their future emails. Upon registration\, you will be put on an email list from Lisa for her blogs but you can easily Unsubscribe later\, if desired. However\, I’ve seen them & they are good educational pieces so I’d recommend giving her blog a try. Ignore the Mountain time zone on the ticket. The webinar door will open at 7:20 for registrants to ask any photography related questions to a camera store representative prior to the start of the meeting. \nNon-members desiring to attend this session should be referred to the BPS website for information on membership (https://berksphotographic.org/) &/or contact BPS at info@berksphotographic.com for registration information.

SUMMARY:Peter Hewitt "Learning How To See"  --  ZOOM presentation
DESCRIPTION:This is truly a not to be missed program that will be quite outstanding\, promise. Peter is a superb photographer\, following in the traditions of Michael Frye\, Charlotte Gibb\, and John Barclay. \n  \nThis quote sets the stage for Peter: “The question is not what you look at but what you see.” – Henry David Thoreau \n  \nPeter’s bio: I consider myself incredibly lucky to be a landscape photographer and to be able to make and sell my own fine art prints. Exploring nature with my camera is what inspires me and motivates me to be an artist. I was a molecular diagnostics development scientist for many years before turning my full attention to becoming a photographic artist around eight years ago. The skills that I have as a scientist have helped me to appreciate that creative thinking always begins with a foundation of knowledge\, learning a discipline\, and mastering a way of thinking. \n  \nPeter will discuss how to transform what the camera captured into the mental visualization realized on location. Peter’s creative path its evolving in a way that his images are well within the bounds of what is believable and evoke how the location made him feel while there. As he is reviewing a handful of before & after images like these from Glacier National Park\, Peter will intersperse the various different artistic and technical issues that came into play for the transition. \n  \nPeter’s website is www.peterhewitt.com. His also has a fine art printing service: www.peterhewitt.com/p/fine-art-printing. He can be found on Facebook & Instagram as well. \n \n  \nTHIS WILL BE A ZOOM PRESENTATION. \nClub members should check the Member Center for the Zoom meeting link. Non-members should send an email to “info@berksphotographic.com” to request the link. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Our Internal Lens: A Discussion on Biases in Photography
DESCRIPTION:This meeting will be held via Zoom and is open to the public. For members\, meeting details are  in the member center on the website and will also be sent out prior to the meeting.   For non-members\, please email info@berksphotographic.com for the Zoom meeting details. \nCarrying a camera gives people the power to express the world as they see it. Sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously\, a photographer chooses what’s included in a frame\, which camera settings to use\, and exactly which moment they will open the shutter. As photographers\, the way we view the world\, and our biases\, shape every image we make. \nIn a discussion with Margo Reed\, Ashok Sinha and Jeff Schaeffer\, photographers will examine where we see our personal interests or biases influence our imagery. We will discuss places we’ve felt uncomfortable or places we’ve felt at ease and how that might shape our creative process and work. Some of the history’s most successful photographers have both saved lives and perpetuated negative stereotypes. In this Zoom event\, members and speakers at Berks Photographic Society will have an opportunity to look inward at our own photography in an effort to see what kind of story it truly tells\, and we will discuss ways in which we can use our work to positively impact others. \nMargo Reed is an editorial and commercial photographer born and raised in Berks County before moving to Philadelphia\, where she worked temporarily for the Philadelphia Inquirer. As a result of her journalistic experience\, Margo has seen first-hand how contemporary media can often divide people. This experience has influenced her personal work\, in which she explores the idea that empathy is endangered in today’s politically and technologically driven world. https://www.margoreedphoto.com/ \nAshok Sinha is an architectural and interiors photographer and filmmaker based in New York City. He’s worked on a variety of residential\, workplace\, commercial and educational projects worldwide with the aim of creating timeless images that capture a sense of place. Ashok is the founder of the Cartwheel Initiative which is a nonprofit that empowers disadvantaged youth through the power of visual storytelling. The Cartwheel Initiative began after a trip he took to war-torn Sri Lanka in 2010. Ashok’s work has appeared in The New York Times\, TIME\, National Geographic\, amongst numerous other publications and exhibited in New York\, London and Toronto. https://www.ashoksinha.com/ \, https://ashokprints.com & http://cartwheelinitiative.org/ \nJeff Schaeffer is a retired IT professional who has since picked up his camera and started focusing his time and energy on photography. He has developed a passion for traveling to India where he has sought out opportunities to learn and share about the diverse people\, culture and history of the country through his photography. In his travels\, he’s immersed himself into the culture which has been both enjoyable and at times\, challenging\, but has always been a rewarding experience gaining new perspectives on life through others. https://www.jeffschaefferphoto.com/ \n  \n

SUMMARY:High Dynamic Range Photography  -  on ZOOM  -  with Frank Plucinsky

There is something here for every photographer.” \n
