SUMMARY:Jeff Schaeffer will share "Getting Started in Video"
DESCRIPTION:Cameras have been constantly improving their capabilities over the last several years.  In addition to providing new features that help us capture our images\, the video capabilities in most DSLRs\, mirrorless cameras and even cell phones also keep improving and expanding giving us new tools to work with.  While an image often tells a story\, video enables us to tell even more of the story.  The videographer uses moving images and sound to guide the viewer through the story they want to tell. \nWhile initially working with video can seem a bit intimidating\, as photographers\, we already have a great foundation of skills to expand on.  Many of the things we already do as photographers can easily be applied to video.  However\, creating videos requires learning some new skills such as camera movement\, the use of audio and video editing. \nJeff is relatively new to video and began working with it in 2021 when he challenged himself to start learning by creating a video during a one-week day camp and present it to parents on the fifth day to help them experience the week at camp.  While there are things that can be improved on with this video\, it was a good opportunity to learn some basic shooting techniques\, how to organize video clips\, how to approach telling the story and how to do some basic video editing.  It also gave him a list of things to explore and skills to develop to continue on his videography journey in 2022.  Most importantly\, the project challenged him to get started!  (note:  the video can be seen here ) \nJeff will share how to utilize some of the skills we already have as photographers\, how to leverage some of the capabilities of equipment we already own and introduce  a few new basic skills about videography to get us started on an exciting new journey of telling stories through video!

SUMMARY:iPhone Photography Workshop with Julie Stauffer
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will be limited to the first 15 people to signup.\nSession fee: $40 or $60 per couple: visit the club store to buy your tickets \nThis workshop will explore the iPhone as a camera for serious photographers. We will experiment with various shooting possibilities\, including portrait mode\, slow motion\, multiple exposure\, etc. We will go through the various editing possibilities built into the camera. Those of you with newer phones that have prime lenses will be amazed at the possibilities. While you can still operate with one lens on the older iPhones\, you do need to be aware that there may be limitations. \nWe will also use SNAPSEED as an editing app. Snapseed is just a powerhouse of possibilities if you know how to find and use them. Some of the features rival what you can accomplish in Photoshop. \nIf you prefer to edit (not photograph) on an iPad\, feel free to bring that to class. It is ever so much easier on the eyes to have a larger screen to work on\, but please do not bring a laptop. This is iOS meaning iPhones and iPads only. \nDuring this session\, we will also have time to photograph and experiment and share. Stauffer has condensed a lot of information into one session. \nPlease email Julie at juliestauffer@me.com with the following information: \n\nWhat iphone you have\nDo you use your phone regularly to photograph\nWhat you would like to know more about from this session? You can be brief\, just a few sentences\, but it will give a basis to work on so that the time is well spent.\n\nBEFORE the WORKSHOP: \n\nMake sure your iPhone is fully charged\nBring your charger cables\nKnow your Apple username and password if you need to download apps\nDownload Snapseed and give it access to your photos.\n\nWe will discuss other apps: PhotoSplits\, Hipstamatic \,ProCamera\, Camera +\, TruHDR\, Slow Shutter\, Clonerase\, Waterlogue\, Glaze\, Oilist\, Image Blender\, Touch Retouch. \nQuestions: email Julie juliestauffer@me.com\, but please be sure to identify yourself as BPS.

SUMMARY:Rodger Elliot will speak to us via Zoom on Landscapes\, Plants\, Flowers & Patterns of Australia
DESCRIPTION:November 21\, 2022: Rodger Elliot will speak to us via Zoom on Landscapes\, Plants\, Flowers & Patterns of Australia. This presentation will cover many aspects of what one can come across as you explore the vast Australian continent with the main concentration on its amazing plant life. Australia is regarded as a biological hot spot of the world. The images Rodger has selected for this presentation were taken in a wide range of habitats as well as in cultivation. There will be images of scenes (from alpine to desert and coast)\, tree trunks\, foliage\, flowers (including carnivorous plants)\, fruits\, fungi\, lichens\, moss and a series on natural patterns. \nRodger had had a passion for observing & cultivating Australian plants since his late teens and began photographing them in the early 1960s. He will discuss selection of subjects\, exposure/shutter speed\, f/stops and ISO as well as providing some hints that he puts into practice while photographing. He is very interested in the practice of gaining ‘bokeh’ in images and this has led him into further ‘artistic’ fields which will also be covered near the conclusion of the presentation. \n \n  \n \nRodger has traveled throughout most of southern and central Australia and has had a number of excursions into northern Australia. He always travels very light with minimal equipment as he would often be hiking. His gear usually includes one or two camera bodies and a couple of lenses with UV and daylight filters plus magnification rings. Tripod\, flash or a reflective sheet are rarely utilized. Post production editing may involve Photoshop Elements but is not seen as a must for most images. \n  \nWith his long involvement in the horticultural industry\, it has meant that his photography is often used as an aid for plant identification and images are often utilized for publishing projects. \n  \nRodger lives with his wife Gwen in Berwick\, a leafy area some 40 km east of Melbourne\, Victoria in south-eastern Australia. They have operated retail and wholesale nurseries specializing in Australian plants for about 35 years\, including selecting and breeding Australian plants for worldwide markets. Having been a horticulturalist\, pseudo-botanist\, writer\, lecturer and tour guide\, Rodger is now retired. He began writing for Australian and overseas garden journals and magazines in the 1970s and has completed over 25 books on Australian plants. He is co-author with David Jones of the highly renowned 9-volume The Encyclopaedia of Australian Plants Suitable for Cultivation that is illustrated by Trevor Blake. He has lectured on Australian plants in many parts of Australia\, the UK\, Europe and Japan as well as widely in the US\, including Longwood Gardens\, Brooklyn Botanic Garden & the University of California Santa Cruz Arboretum and Botanic Garden. \nRodger served on the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria Board for 16 years and is currently Chairman of the Maud Gibson Trust Advisory Committee\, its sole support. In 1999\, Rodger received the Gold Veitch Memorial Medal from the Royal Horticultural Society\, London. In 2001\, Rodger and Gwen were appointed Members of the Order of Australia for their contribution to the horticulture of Australian plants. They are Honorary Life Members of the Arboretum Associates of the University of California\, Santa Cruz. In 2004\, Rodger and Gwen received the F. Owen Pearce Award of Horticulture from the Strybing Arboretum Society in recognition of their role in expanding the horticultural potential of Australian flora for Californian gardens. In 2014 they were inducted into the Horticultural Media Association Australia’s Hall of Fame. Rodger’s other awards include the Australian Institute of Horticulture’s Award for Excellence 1992\, Honorary Life Membership of Australian Plants Society\, Australian Plants Award 1995 and the Australian Natural History Medallion 1995. \nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation. \nFor non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/. At checkout\, please specify “Rodger Elliot – November 21” in the Additional information/Order Notes box.  Once we receive your donation\, your pass will be emailed to you.

SUMMARY:“Best of the Year” with Henry Rowan returning for a thir d year in  a row as judge for this event. 
DESCRIPTION:November 28\, 2022: “Best of the Year” with Henry Rowan returning for a third year in  a row as judge for this event.  \nHenry is a national award-winning photographer and the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Center for Photography in Doylestown (PCP’s WEBSITE). \nIn addition to being a working\, professional photographer\, Henry is a frequent lecturer and judge throughout the region\, including BPS meetings\, and teaches a variety of workshops at the PCP & in the field. Rowan’s work is frequently on display at galleries and shows and he has gained a following for his distinctive style of portraiture as well as his unique portrayal of landscapes\, nature\, and sports. Rowan plays with movement\, light\, and color in unison to create images that are easy to identify as his. The driving theme of his work is his concept of Non-Existent Imagery. Many of his images are the result of hours of work and are part of his CameraGraph® series\, in which post-processing plays a major role to visually construct his “reality”. You may see Rowan’s work HERE.
