Harford County Photography Group

Join us on Zoom for Next Level Photos for a safe, friendly, and fun way to improve your images. This will be a fun, entertaining, and educational review of our photos.

Instructions:

• Register for the critique on MeetUp by Noon on the day of the critique.
• Upload 3 photos via Meetup. (This gives all participants an opportunity to preview the photos being critiqued.) These photos must be in JPEG, GIF, or PNG format, be less than 15MB in size.
• In Meetup, scroll down until you see Photos - click on Add Photos - (if using mobile device - click on Select photos. If using computer - click on Upload Photos).
• Once photo has been uploaded, give photo a title as submitters will not be explaining their photos. The photos should speak for themselves.
• On mobile device - tap on photo - tap on 3 dots in upper right hand corner - tap on Add Caption - type in title - tap on check mark on keyboard. On computer - as you add photo you will be given the option to include a caption - click on Save Photos once done titling.
• Photos submitted by participants need to have been taken in the 3 months prior to the critique. We want to see current work / projects. We don’t want to see the award winning photo that was taken 10 yrs ago.
• Theme is open.
• If a participant’s photos have not been uploaded prior to the start of the critique session, that registered participant will be excluded from participating in the critique session.

Around 5 pm on June 3, a Zoom link will be emailed to each registered participant. The actual critique will be held on a Zoom session from 7pm to 9pm. Please commit to staying for the whole session so we can enjoy and discuss our photography.

Participant submitters will not be explaining their photos. The photos should speak for themselves. When participants comment, they should always begin with a positive statement, before suggesting areas for improvement.

Our purpose is the help each other identify good practices and eliminate bad practices so we can improve our photography. This is a safe and friendly environment to help you improve.

LIMITED TO THE FIRST 9 PARTICIPANTS TO REGISTER

Hey photographers, the next coffee and cameras will be June 14th at 10am at Alice's Family Restaurant.

This month's topic will be photography goals. Either what are subjects or techniques you hope to accomplish/master. Let's get together and share.

Hope to see you there!

Alice's Family Restaurant, 2909 Eastern Blvd, Baltimore, MD 21220

Prism shoots are usually free (unless otherwise noted) monthly outings where a location, theme or topic will be our starting point. The idea is to have all the photographers interpret the same theme but according to their own view or aesthetic. We all see things differently and it can be interesting to see which direction each photographer takes the month’s theme or topic. Photos will be shared on the Facebook group so everyone can see.

These outings are a way to help us see things from a different point of view and are led by Beth Tribe, Director of Media. This is a casual, fun, event to help you "see" and hopefully improve your photography.

*Theme will be announced at event.* This event will give you opportunity to capture beautiful lotus blossoms and wildlife including birds so bring your long lenses as well.

Equipment - bring your every day, walk around camera or cellphone. Try to stick with one lens but feel free to bring filters, tripods/monopods or whatever makes you feel creative. Think about traveling light as you will want to explore the location. Some walking will be involved and ground may not always be level. Explore at your own pace.
