‘Reflections’ – our theme for the October meeting, this Thursday, Oct. 6 at 7:00 pm. Open to a multitude of interpretations, from how reflected light enhancing other subjects, to the reflections themselves and perhaps our own reflections on nature? Looking forward to the meeting!
Our first show in four years is wrapping up at the end of next week. We very much appreciate the opportunity and invitation from Kendal at Ithaca. Wonderful to see all the photographs together and be able to discuss in person. Images included grand landscapes, small scenes, wildlife, flowers and much more – showcasing the diverse subject matter of a talented group.
It’s a great show! If you haven’t had time to stop by, this week is your last chance. EDIT! SHOW IS STILL ON FOR MONTH OF OCTOBER 🙂
Excited to have a member‘s show! We will be in person, meeting September 1st from 7 to 8:30pm in the Kendal at Ithaca Art Gallery space. The photographs will be up for the whole month of September, so please stop by and take a look. Expecting a range of excellent nature-based images. Should be an excellent show.
We are seeking the shade and refuge in ‘Glens and Gorges’ for the next meeting. Join us and share your perspective on narrow valleys both local and possibly distant! Lack of light, changing water flows and access can all make these challenging subjects.
Meeting – August 4th at 7pm on Zoom. Members and those interested in joining are all welcome! No need to share images in order to participate.
Our group meeting is next week – July 7 2022 at 7pm EDT – on Zoom. Make sure you fill out the contact form to join our group and get the login details.
We had a great presentation from Colleen Miniuk in May, and this month we are trying out one of her suggestions to create images with one color, using tone, light and shadow to provide interest. A challenging exercise that forces the photographer to think about the environment and how light creates complexity and contrast. Looking forward to seeing the results!
We are thrilled to be hosting a presentation by Colleen Miniuk on “Seeing the Light in Outdoor Photography” at our next meeting.
MAY 12th, 7pm on Zoom. (note the change in week for this meeting)
Colleen is a professional based near Phoenix, AZ. She has published several books on photography, one on AZ wildflowers and another about Acadia NP where she was resident photographer for several years. Her presentations come highly recommended – we are looking forward to this one!
Our April meeting is shaping up to be an entertaining one! Here is your chance to exercise your creativity on the theme of ‘April Fool’. Does the image fool us? Or is the subject foolish? Let your imagination run wild. All interpretations are welcome. Please join us and share in the fun.
Date – April 7, 2022 Time – 7pm EDT Online – Zoom

How to share photos for the meeting:
Our next meeting will take place on Thursday, April 2 at 7:30pm EST. We will hold the meeting online via Zoom. The link will be emailed to you closer to the meeting time.
The photo sharing theme will be “Natural Areas” with the objective of characterizing local natural areas. The Cornell Natural Areas websites (both on-campus and off-campus) has lots of suggestions for locations in the area.
1. Please email up to three photos to Mike Goldstein at mhg26@cornell.edu
2. The long edge of your photos should be no bigger than 2048 pixels. If you don’t know how to downsample your photos, send them anyways and I’ll do it.
3. The filename of each photo should start with your last name, followed by your first name, e.g. Goldstein_Michael_CNPphoto_1
4. As the meeting host, I will present your images by sharing my screen with the group so everyone can see it. You will be able to discuss your images with the group.
