President’s Corner - Scott Wood

Each summer brings a lot of changes to the Olympia Camera Club. We take a break from our regularly scheduled meetings, we get to-gether at our annual banquet to look back on the previous year, we start planning out our next year and more importantly we elect a new slate of officers for the upcoming year. While I am honored to have been elected as

president for the upcoming year, instead of us-

ing this space this month to look forward to the

next year, I wanted to take this time to look

back and reflect a bit on the previous year.

I want to start by thanking Bruce Livingston for what was a great year for the club.

Bruce brought a energy as president that I believe everyone benefited from. Our

membership numbers were stronger than ever and our meeting attendance was up

across the board, both of which were in no small part due to Bruce’s leadership.

While we will miss Bruce as president, he will continue to be very active in the

club and we will all benefit from his experience and skill.

Now, on to a more personal note. Two years ago I took over the leadership of the

monthly Advanced Photography Group. For those that attended the June meeting

of the Advanced Group you will know that I announced that I would be stepping

down from leading the group. It wasn’t an easy decision to come to, I truly en-

joyed the last two years but due to a number of personal reasons I simply didn’t

have the bandwidth to give the Advanced Group the attention it deserves. We are

not entirely sure what direction the Advanced Group will go in next year, but it

will be discussed by the board and at our Annual Planning Picnic in August. We

also have a poll on the club’s Facebook group and we would love to hear your in-

put.

I am looking forward to an exciting year and realize that I have very large shoes to

fill. Thanks again Bruce for an outstanding year of service to the club.

Scott

Note from the Editor:

Wishing everyone a great summer of travel, exploring and photography. We would love to showcase some of your images in the newsletter and hear about the places you have discovered. Please consider sharing through an article and your images. Please send all submissions to newsletter@olympiacameraclub.org.

Have a great summer and I hope to see you out in the field.

Mt St Helen’s Field Trip Report

by Colleen Easley

About 25 club members had an exciting trip to Mt St Helens on June 24. We left Olympia in the late afternoon and

arrived at the Johnston Ridge area (Loowitt Lookout) in time to get some nice afternoon light on a glorious bloom of

wildflowers. The weather was perfect with the exception of some pretty serious wind. Once we had finished shoot-

ing the sunset we waited until midnight to begin shooting the Milky Way. Many members who had never done night

photography before learned from the others what settings to use and tips like removing all filters and acquiring focus

to infinity before it gets dark. There are some beautiful shots from the trip located on the Flickr group. I'm sure

you'll agree, it's worth checking them at: https://www.flickr.com/groups/3809316@N25/pool/

Annual Banquet and Scavenger Hunt

by Pam Hoaglund

On 27 June, 41 members of the Olympia Camera Club celebrated the end of the meeting year with a banquet at the

River’s Edge Restaurant in Tumwater. Following a very nice dinner and social time we had a brief business meeting

to elect officer’s for the coming year. See the minutes and results of the election on page 16 of this newsletter to see

who your new officers are for 2017-2018. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of two slide shows. The

first was presented by Bruce Livingston and highlighted all the community events supported by the camera club

through photography. The second slide show included the scavenger hunt images and best of the year images. We

had a good number of club members participate. Thank you to Rosalind Philips for putting the slideshows together.

Olympic Air Show

by Bruce Livingston

This past Fathers Day weekend was the traditional weekend for the Olym-pic Air Show, and several Olympia Camera Club volunteer photographers attended one or both days of the show. I want to extend my thanks and ap-preciation to Frank Townsend, Tammy and Ed Mandeville, Shawn Donnel-ly, and Greg Mennegar for stepping forward to help photograph the show this year. The OCC has for years photographed the Olympic Air Show for the Olympic Air museum, as a community service. The museum uses the photographs for promotional purposes (brochures, Facebook page, etc.) for each year’s show. I have only photographed the show for three years, but find it to be very satisfying and is also great practice for photographing birds in flight. It's also great practice for many types of sports and action photography. If you are interested in volunteering for the show next year, put the dates on your calendar for Father’s Day weekend; we will be seeking volunteers as we get closer to next year’s air show. Be prepared for 2 exhilarating days of photog-raphy!

Annual Planning Picnic

by Bruce Livingston

Save The Date! The Annual Planning Picnic is scheduled for August 29th from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm at the Black Lake Grange, 6011 Black Lake Blvd. SW. Every year in August the Olympia Camera Club meets to discuss activi-ties, field trips, topics and guest speakers for the upcoming year. Your ideas are what help to make the camera club interesting and useful to you. This year the discussion will also include the results of the survey posted on the Club’s Facebook site regarding your preferences about combining the Fundamentals and Advanced Groups into one meet-ing; thus reducing the number of meetings each month. If you have not participated or offered comments about com-bining the Advanced and Fundamentals Groups, please visit the Club Facebook site and make your preference known. The poll was created on June 29th, so you may need to scroll down the postings to find the poll

Thurston County Fair

Staircase Rapids Field Trip

July 22, 2017

by Rosalind Philips

Our next field trip is on July 22, 2017 to Staircase Rapids in the Lake Cushman area. There are several easy trails in

the area. The Rapids Loop Trail is about 2 miles with not much up and down. Occasionally there are roots and rocks

to negotiate. There are interesting trees, moss, fungi and of course water to photograph.

Meet at Cooper Point Plaza near the old El Serape, on Cooper Point Rd just off Black Lake Blvd, at 7:15 am so that

we can leave promptly at 7:30 am. We want to get there before all the parking disappears. We should be back in

Olympia around 3 pm. Bring tripods, snacks/lunch, drinks and plenty of memory cards. You also might want to con-

sider bringing a macro lens, extension tubes and a flash. The moss is great for macro photography

FIELD TRIP COORDINATOR

by Norm and Kay Ott

The Field Trip Committee met on the 15th of May to consider locations and best times for potential trips and to fill

the schedule for the rest of 2017. I want to again thank each of the available members who met at our home to

brainstorm this process. I was awed by the accumulated knowledge of the Where, When-to-go, and What-to-

Photograph discussions that took place out of the collective memories of these committee members. Also, Thank

You to Kay, who surprised us with a delicious meal before we started.

The good news is that the remaining 2017 field trip schedule is presented below. Having this clarity will certainly

make Kay and my job easier as we continue to learn the Coordinator roles.

With the schedule finalized, each upcoming trip will be presented by the trip leader, a month in advance. If you

have previously visited one or more of these field trip sites, we are requesting photos that could be shared in the

Newsletter. I would suggest placing copyrights/watermarks in your images. Photos may be sent to the OCC Drop-

box or to my email address: norman.ott63k@gmail.com. Use will be restricted to the OCC Newsletter.

August 17, 2017 Field Trip

Terracotta Warriors Exhibition

at the Seattle Center

by Linda Foss

Experience Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor, a one-of-a-kind exhibition premiering at Pacific Science Center

in Seattle for a limited five-month run in 2017 and featuring artifacts from the first imperial dynasty of China. The

expansive collective of terracotta statues—including soldiers, civil officials, and entertainers—at the burial complex

of China’s First Emperor is awesome in its scope. Pull them apart, however, and each individual statue tells its own

piece of the story of the culture, craft, and science of one of history’s most monumental endeavors.

The story begins in 1974, as farmers are digging a well in an orchard, and come across something mysterious under-

foot. The story continues back in time, to 210 BC, as guests learn of the audacious emperor who built an empire from

clay to rule for eternity. This exhibit will take guests on a journey through the discovery of the statues, their symbol-

ism, the cultural and historical context of the warriors, the mystery of the tomb that they guard, and the technology

that contributes to our understanding of the statues today. Featuring an impressive immersive experience where

guests will see a simulation of the original boldly-colored warriors transforming over time, and where rows of pris-

tine terracotta sculptures seem to repeat endlessly, Terracotta Warriors will express the awesome scale of the project

to build and preserve these quiet guards of the afterlife

Tickets for Non members of the Seattle Center

Age 16-64: $34.95

Age 65+: $32.95

https://www.pacificsciencecenter.org/terracotta-warriors/?package_id=1523

The exhibition opens at 10 AM and closes at 6 PM. Tickets for the exhibition are bought for certain time slots that

start at 10:15 and every 15 minutes to closing. If you plan on joining this field trip you must purchase your ticket

online prior to the trip by going to the website above. You must be in line at the time stated on your ticket. Cameras

are allowed but flash, tripods or camera bags are not allowed in the exhibit.

At this time we are still working out the details of transportation so if you plan on going with the OCC group DO

NOT purchase your ticket until we confirm travel arrangements. Periodically check the OCC website for details and

the August newsletter will have the final arrangements.

Please let me know your thoughts about whether you are up for the adventure.

It would be helpful to know how many people would like to go as a group. If you are interested please send me an

email at Fossl728@gmail.com.

Personal Projects

by Scott Wood

There is no denying that the technology of photography has changed a lot over the

last 10 to 15 years. Most photographers today only know the digital world of

memory cards and Photoshop. They never experienced the film world where your

“memory card” was a film canister and “Photoshop” was either a darkroom or a com-

mercial lab that you sent your film off to be processed. To photographers in those

days “instant feedback” was seeing your images within a day or two of capturing

them, not immediately by looking at the back of your camera.

You might be wondering why I am bringing that up in an article about personal pho-

tographic projects and the answer is quite simple, not a lot of photographers today

“shoot with a purpose.” We regularly carry memory cards in our modern digital

cameras that can hold thousands of images. We can go out and shoot hundreds of

images an hour and then transfer those images to our computers in catalogs of hun-

dreds of thousands of images. Beyond the initial cost of your equipment and software there really is no cost associated with pushing the

shutter button.

Back in the film days that wasn’t the case. Where todays memory card might hold thousands of imag-

es, at most a 35mm film canister would hold 36. With today’s memory cards you simply format the

card and start over, but with film you had to buy new film each time you used up the film you had.

Today we import our images into our computer for post processing; back in the film days we used to

have to spend money on each roll either in what it cost us to develop our own film and make prints, or

what we would spend to have each roll sent out and processed at a commercial lab. In short, there was

a very measurable cost associated with each and every actuation of the shutter button and because of

that a good deal of thought generally went into each and every image captured

Before I go any further I don’t want you to think that I dislike digital photography and yearn for the

days of film. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have no desire whatsoever to go back in time

and load up a roll of film, but I do believe that as photographers we would benefit from taking some

time to give real thought to the images we capture and to shoot with a purpose, not just go out and

“spray and pray” and hope that we have some keepers when we get back to our computer.

So, after just over 400 words and into my fifth paragraph I am going to finally talk a little about person-

al projects, and how they can help you become a much better photographer. At this point you might be

asking what a personal project is, and that is the beauty of one, it can be almost anything you want it to

be. One that I have been working on over the last few years is capturing nautical themed images. I grew up in Northern Idaho and lived in

the Arizona desert for 25 years before moving to Olympia. Needless to say, nautical themes have not been part of my day to day life but I

am fascinated with the sea. For me it was an obvious choice to start a personal project to capture nautically themed images.

If you have stuck with me to this point, what I want to challenge you to do is pick something, anything, and turn it into a personal project.

Grab a camera and go out with the intention of creating images for that project. Try to look at the world with the idea that each image you

capture is important, has value and is part of a bigger collection of related

work. When you are shooting with a purpose, and making images that are

part of a bigger story, I promise that you will become a better photographer

and the skills that you develop during the project will carry over to anything

you are shooting. Who knows, instead of having 10 keepers out of every

100 images captured, you might end up with the same 10 keepers but only

need to capture 10 frames to get them.

New Member Profile: Kim Buechel

What or who brought you to the club?

What brought me to the club has been a long journey. I have been taking photos

for many years. Even as a young photographer, I experimented with different

angles or compositions with my Kodak Tele-Instamatic 608. Having a camera

with “telephoto” capabilities was hot stuff. And yes, I still have the camera. My

wedding gift from my husband of 40 years was a Pentax K1000 and I could get

maybe two good pictures out of a roll of film. When digital cameras came out, I

bought one thinking the quality of my photos would get better. After ten years,

they have gotten better but I was still frustrated with the number of quality of

photos I was getting after each shoot.

How did you get interested in photography?

I have been entering photos in the Thurston County Fair for many years and would win a blue ribbon most years for

one of the photos. Each year I would pick up a pamphlet thinking I would join that year. While at a dinner for a

DNR employee who was leaving the agency, Bruce Livingston was there. I overheard him say that he couldn’t stay

long because he had his photo club meeting to go to. At the first opportunity to speak to him, I asked him about the

club. During our brief conversation I could tell he was very excited about the club and thought, “what the heck, go

check it out”.

What kind of photography do you like to do?

Photography has always fascinated me. I would study photos in

National Geographic and Life magazines being amazed at the

color, composition, and the story it told. The photographs I

liked the best were photos taken out-of-doors whether it be an

animal, landscape or flowers. So that is the type of photography

I like to do.

What equipment is in your camera bag?

The equipment in my bag at present is a Canon EOS with an 18-

55 mm and 75-300 mm lens. I have just purchased Lightroom

CC 2015. I have learned from the club how to get a better ex-

posure and to use Lightroom to bring out what I saw when I

took the photo.

What do you want to learn from the club?

I want to learn from club how to take a better photo by using different techniques. I don’t want to come to club to be a sponge, but build a comradery with fellow photographers and learn from them and hopefully someone will learn from me.

Member Profile: Frank Townsend

What or who brought you to the club?

It was so long ago I don't remember but I believe it probably was

a flyer or something at Don's Camera back when it was a big

store on Pacific.

How did you get interested in photography?

I've always had some interest, I traveled a lot either because of

the Army or my job and I picked up a variety of cameras along

the way, from point and shoot to SLRs.

What kind of photography do you like to do?

Mostly travel. I used to take photographs of places I visited, and

then began visiting places to take photographs. Landscapes are

my preference but I'll shoot anything in front of my lens.

What equipment is in your camera bag?

Currently I'm using the Nikon D7200 with a Nikon 18-200 as a "walk around" lens. I have a Nikon 24-70, Nikon 50

1.8, Nikon 105 2.8, a Tamron 300-500, and a Tokina 11-16 2.8. I have a Nikon flash and a Nissan flash.

What post processing programs do you use?

I've been using Elements for years, currently on version 14. I have dabbled with Lightroom, ON1, and Nik but pretty

much stick to Elements.

What do you want to learn from the club?

Whatever the club can teach me is just fine with me. We have very talented and knowledgeable people in our club

and I am constantly learning from all of them.

Creative Live

submitted by Pam Hoaglund

If you are not aware of the website Creativelive I would like to introduce you to a great learning platform and it’s free.

The following is a description from Wikipedia:

CreativeLive is an online education platform that broadcasts live classes to an international audience for free. The

company has dual headquarters in Seattle and San Francisco, with four in-house production studios. Since 2010, over

two billion minutes of course instruction have been watched by millions of students.[1] During that same timeframe the

average number of students tuned in to each live broadcast ranged from 20,000 to 60,000 people, with the highest at-

tended course being 150,000.[2]

CreativeLive classes are broadcast live from four in-house production studios.[3] A key aspect of CreativeLive’s ap-proach to online learning is interaction via online classroom, which is facilitated by a studio audience that also appears on camera. The in-studio students, usually ranging from three to 15 people, ask questions of the instructor during the class and act as a proxy for the viewers at home.[4] CreativeLive broadcasts 24/7 across five channels: Photo & Video, Art & Design, Music & Audio, Maker & Craft, and Business & Money.[4][5] Commenting on what inspired this type of user experience, CEO Chase Jarvis said, "Overall the education industry is the world’s largest industry that has yet to see real disruption and meaningful innovation. It’s ripe for change and what we’re seeing (and doing at creativeLIVE and elsewhere on the web) is just the beginning."[6]

CreativeLive uses a freemium pricing model: All classes are free to stream while they are live and can be purchased to watch at a later date. The classes are hosted by a team of on air hosts from both CreativeLive's Seattle and San Fran-cisco studios, with hosts including Kenna Klosterman and Jim Catechi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CreativeLive

I have watched a number of classes from CreativeLive and if you miss part of the class you can watch it later in the day as it is rebroadcast for 24 hours. Once you sign up on the website you can follow a category of photography and get notifications when there is an upcoming class. The Photo & Video topics are: Mobile Photography Fundamentals Photoshop and Lightroom Portrait Lighting Camera Fast Starts Outdoor Landscape Wedding Family and Newborn Film and Video Commercial Glamour and Beauty Fine Art Adventure and Sports Business Marketing Photojournalism Upcoming Photography classes are: 11 July – Volume Sports Photography 17 July – Advanced Lighting for Adventure Photography 24 July – The Outdoor Enthusiasts guide to Photography and Motion Check it out and I think you will find a wealth of information.

NWCCC Announces Fall Competitions

by Frank Townsend

The Northwest Council of Camera Clubs is comprised of 18 clubs in the Northwest corner of the state, we are one of

them. Each year the Council sponsors four photography competitions, including the Traveling Print Salon of which

most of us are familiar. The Traveling Prints is a club competition where our club is competing against other clubs

within the council. Our prints recently completed "making the rounds" and those with the highest score have gone on

for further judging.

Less familiar are the three individual competitions. These are submitted by individuals who belong to clubs within

the Council. Since the Olympia Camera Club is a member club we are allowed to participate in these competitions,

all of which close on October 1. The first is the Open Print Salon where you may enter up to 3 color and 3 mono-

chrome images either in the large print category or the small print category. Another interesting competition is the

Open Digital Competition where you may enter up to 4 images, either color, monochrome or creative. And finally

there is the Digital Slide Show Competition (formerly known as the Rix Showcase). There are two categories in this

completion, either Photo Essay or Travel Essay but these are done as slide shows rather than individual prints.

This article only lightly touches on the competitions. For rules and entry forms visit the Council's website at nwcam-eraclubs.org and click on "Competitions" at the top of the page. OCC will provide more information and encourage-ment through the year and may provide an easy method to deliver entries to the appropriate chair person.
