* 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.

* 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.

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\.

Whether you prefer jailbirds or real birds, join us as we explore Fort Delaware and Pea Patch Island.

On an island in the middle of the Delaware River, **Fort Delaware** stands tall as a bastion of U.S. military defense and a reminder of the great sacrifices made during wartime in America. Once a camp for Confederate POWs during the Civil War, Fort Delaware has been maintained and restored to tell the stories of those who served at the fort.

Pea Patch Island is also home to important migratory bird habitat along its marshy shores and draws thousands of people annually to see unique species. Great opportunity to photograph abundant ruins both exterior and interior. Study light and shadows, capture details of aging structure. The surrounding marsh area will provide opportunities to capture wildlife.

**Learning Ops/Challenges:** Historic building, interiors, exteriors, details. Also, migratory bird habitat and marsh.
