SUMMARY:Photo Night
DESCRIPTION:This month's themes are: Black and White (B&W)\, Blend Modes (B
 lend)\, Double Exposure (DE)\, Pictures and Words (P&W)\, Open\n\nYour fir
 st challenge for this upcoming photo night is in support of the upcoming c
 lub challenge of Black and White (B&W) photography. On skills night\, Fran
 cois Cleroux presented what you can do to create a stunning black and whit
 e image. So use your notes and submit your images for feedback from fellow
  club members in preparation for the competition.\n\nOur next themes are a
 lso generated from the most recent skills night. The first is from the pre
 sentation on Blend Modes (Blend). You can find a video of the presentation
  on the members only area of Delta Photo Club's site. Blend modes is a fea
 ture in many photo editing software programs that uses specific formulas t
 o show/hide/reduce\, and thereby blending\, pixels in the top layer image 
 to affect the display of the bottom layer image. Adobe Photoshop was used 
 in the demonstration but there are many other paid and free programs and a
 pps that use blend modes\, such as: ON1\, Affinity Photo\, GIMP\, Artful P
 hoto Blend\, PhotoFox etc. For this theme you'll be asked to submit your f
 irst image (the 1st layer)\, your second image (the 2nd layer) and the fin
 al blended image\, titled with the blend mode chosen.\nNOTE: File naming f
 or the Blend theme mages is different than all other themes (See Below)\n\
 nDouble exposure (DE) was discussed on our last skills night and as we hav
 en't had this challenge for a while\, we thought to include it this month.
  Double exposures can be created in camera or in a software program--your 
 choice. Google double exposure photography images and you'll find a pletho
 ra of results to stimulate your imagination. Many double exposures begin w
 ith a portrait but we challenge you to think outside the box because your 
 images can be of anything. Think about how the combination of the mages ca
 n convey a deeper meaning or symbolism.\n\nWe have been fortunate to have 
 so many wonderful presenters this year\, the most recent being a professio
 nal photographer\, Kas Stone. Her presentation is inspiration for one of t
 he themes this month -- A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words\, where Pictur
 es and Words (P&W) can work together for a richer experience. We challenge
  you to tell a story and/or express feelings with a picture and it's title
 . You'll be asked to send in an image with a name that effectively communi
 cates what the image is about. Kas Stone shared with us her interpretation
  that images fall on a spectrum from Documentary\, thru Expressive and int
 o Abstraction. She suggested that we use effective communication through i
 mage names. You're asked to submit an image with a thoughtful name and not
  say anything else to describe your image. We'll then ask other members to
  share their interpretation of the image. As Kas Stone shared\, a good pho
 tograph need not be explained\, it speaks for itself. Visual communication
  is universal.\n\nLastly\, if your image doesn't fit in any of the above t
 hemes there is always the the Open theme.\n\nNote: Each member can submit 
 up to 3 images for each of the challenge categories: B&W\, Blend Modes\, D
 E\,  and P&W  and up to 2 for the Open theme.\n\nNext month you will have 
 an opportunity to submit your image(s) from our year long photography chal
 lenge. This will be of images taken of the same location\, space\, or item
 \, in all four (4) of our seasons . The idea is that this location/space/i
 tem changed with the seasons and therefore represents all the changes that
  came each time our seasons and weather changed. This challenge was introd
 uced last spring and will culminate in a presentation of member's images n
 ext month on photo night\, May 4\, 2022.\n
