SUMMARY:“Taking your bird and wildlife photography to the next level” 
DESCRIPTION:Simon d’Entremont will present “Taking your Bird and Wildlife Photography to the Next Level” via Zoom from Canada in a hybrid session. This talk is thanks to a major donation from Dr. and Mrs. Leigh Reeves. \nSimon will go over some of his top tips about wildlife photography\, including gear\, settings\, field techniques & strategies for pretty pictures. He will also cover his post processing. \nEver since he was a youngster\, Simon has been interested in wildlife & nature\, & curious about the world in which we live. His personal interest in the natural world\, wildlife\, astronomy & science always kept him looking around at the wonders of the universe & our natural environment. From our enormous Milky Way galaxy to the smallest bird\, Simon marvels at its natural beauty. \nWith the advent of the digital camera came a way to capture this beauty & the adventure of capturing it became a way to explore his beautiful home province of Nova Scotia. Whether by staying up late to watch the constellations rise one by one over the horizon while capturing the Milky Way\, hiking kilometers to see a waterfall or by getting up before the break of dawn to watch birds feeding their young…mysteries abound all around us and capturing their beauty for his own enjoyment and for others to enjoy is Simon’s “me.” \nWhat started as a hobby is now a professional career\, one that Simon enjoys every day.  He has recently started shooting more video & as such\, started a YouTube Channel to host the videos.  Members should go HERE & have a look. \nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation. For non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/. At checkout\, please specify “Simon d’Entremont – October 16” in the order box. Once BPS receives your donation\, your pass will be emailed to you.

SUMMARY:BPS  Member Photo Competition
DESCRIPTION:October 30 at 7:00 PM is the last BPS Member Photo Competition & Critique Night of 2023. This will be a recorded\, hybrid meeting using Zoom for those who decide not to join us at the GoggleWorks. The theme for this competition is Tranquility\, Peace\, Calm\, Contemplative\, Quiet in both Pictorial & Nature categories.  As our world has become so hectic\, disruptive & mean\, maybe shifting our thoughts a little will be helpful. Submitted images must connote these feelings by however the artist creatively envisions & responds to the theme. The submission deadline is Sunday night October 15\, 2023 at 12 MN. Every member is encouraged to participate. \nThe BPS competition rules were revised and given Board approval on May 8\, 2023. Everyone should review the latest rules and the details for entry as found HERE or refer to the BPS website for details under the “Competition” header. \nThe submission process continues to be the same as the last several competitions. Each dues-current BPS member may submit up to two images in the Pictorial category (A) and up to two images in the Nature category (B) for each competition\, using their assigned class\, either Class A (advanced) or Class B group. Generally\, new members are in Class B. For submission\, there are 4 links to 4 separate directories in the Club’s SmugMug account to upload images into\, depending on the photographer’s Class (A or B) and the image Category (Pictorial=A or Nature=B). This will then automatically separate the image files appropriately on the receiving end. \nClass A photographers use these 2 links to upload files: \n\n\nPictorial (A): https://www.smugmug.com/upload/r5ZTvq/ClassAPictorial \n\n\nNature (B): https://www.smugmug.com/upload/BkRVbG/ClassANature       \n\n\nClass B photographers use these 2 links to upload files: \n\n\nPictorial (A): https://www.smugmug.com/upload/f7pVTw/ClassBPictorial \n\n\nNature (B): https://www.smugmug.com/upload/F5hJxr/ClassBNature \n\n\nIf you have questions or need help\, please email Vince before submitting at Vince.Pellegrini@berksphotographic.com. Remember\, no changes can be made after submission. \nSubmission of an image for any BPS competition indicates agreement of the maker to allow BPS to post the image in the BPS Newsletter & online via the BPS website & BPS YouTube channel. \nOur judge for this event will be Joe Edelman. Joe is an award-winning photographer\, author\, and photo educator. \nJoe’s educational mission is “To help photographers to develop a solid understanding of the HOWS and WHYS behind creating great photographs.” Joe is honored to hold the title of Photographic Craftsman\, a designation given to those who have met the standards of excellence set by the Professional Photographers of America in recognition of service to the photographic profession as an orator\, author\, and mentor.
