Plan to be entertained as Ralph recounts his adventures as he attempted to stay (presumably) safe and sane. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRalph Lee Hopkins is returning to tell us about how he continued his photographic endeavors when the pandemic disrupted his primary work with Linblad Expeditions.  As Ralph describes it: \n\n\n\n“The stars aligned this summer with the arrival of comet NEOWISE.  \n\n\n\nSafe escape from my bubble in Charlotte\, North Carolina\, was already planned when I heard astronomers had discovered a new comet in our night sky. I paid no attention until I read that comet NEOWISE was going to be visible in mid-to-late July\, and that it wouldn’t be back in the view from Earth for another 6800 years. I can’t wait that long. The chase was on! \n\n\n\nComet NEOWISE presented the perfect opportunity to explore the dark skies of Utah. The comet also presented the perfect opportunity to test the Starry Sky Autofocus feature on the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III\, my newest camera and one of the hottest mirrorless digital cameras on the market today for astro photographers. \n\n\n\nBut wait\, there’s more…  \n\n\n\n In October\, I left the bubble again and headed back out west. This time to chase fall color in Colorado\, look for wolves in Yellowstone\, and be with the grizzly bears in the Grand Tetons.  \n\n\n\n The highlight of that trip was seeing the famous bear 399\, who this year had 4\, count them\, four cubs. I spent hours watching 399 teaching her young to hunt and dig for ground squirrels and other burrowing rodents. \n\n\n\n And then there’s the story about meeting the Desert Doctor. But for that\, you’ll have to wait for my presentation. \n\n\n\n It’s been a strange year with my regular travel schedule on the National Geographic ships cancelled. Luckily for me\, I was able to escape to the wilds of the American West to feed my soul.” \n\n\n\nCheck out Ralph’s website:  https://ralphleehopkins.zenfolio.com \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRalphLeeHopkins.com URL:https://kiawahphotoclub.org/event/monthly-meeting-ralph-lee-hopkins/ CATEGORIES:Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210412T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210412T120000 DTSTAMP:20240904T173149Z CREATED:20200915T210902Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240904T173149Z UID:1564-1618221600-1618228800@kiawahphotoclub.org SUMMARY:CRITIQUE: Pam Cohen's Workshop DESCRIPTION:Shoot Like the Pros – Using Manual Mode & More\n\n\n\nKenny’s workshop on the 12th will be on Shooting in Manual Mode.

Plus other topics!By now many of us have accumulated hundreds of photos in files spread over hard drives. The main problem is that the hard drives will FAIL. It is not a question of “if” but a question of “when.” Or\, although the drive may not fail\, it could be lost in a house fire or other accident. You won’t want to lose the files! This seminar will first focus on the way that Lightroom files\, in particular\, are structured and how to know where they are located on your hard drive. Next\, we will look at one way to make backup copies of the files on other hard drives. One way to store and have copies of files is on a collection of small hard drives. We will look at a process that is suitable for most of us\, but Pam Cohen will describe an even more powerful method. In the next part of the session\, we will review the Lightroom techniques that Les Saucier described this week. As many know\, there are numerous approaches to editing files. We will compare his very effective approach to others. Finally\, Tina Schell had some very nice photo collages in her blog this week\, and she will demonstrate how to build these.  URL:https://kiawahphotoclub.org/event/small-group-session-4/ CATEGORIES:Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210215T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210215T120000 DTSTAMP:20240904T173133Z CREATED:20200915T205856Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240904T173133Z UID:1548-1613383200-1613390400@kiawahphotoclub.org SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Les Saucier - Increasing Your Creative Vision DESCRIPTION:Increasing Your Creative Vision\n\n\n\nLes Saucier\, a KIPC favorite\, returns\, via Zoom!

Audiences are surprised by the power and form of her large-scale photographs\, some of which are nearly eight feet in length\, and some are displayed outdoors exposed to the elements. \n\n\n\nBrilliant colors against the dark surface create a dramatic multi-dimensional image. An unorthodox approach to lighting and capture creates a dramatic effect. Although the compositions are bold\, the work quietly reveals a delicate sensuality allowing the spectator to be submerged in the massive blooms and inner architecture of plant life. Her Botanicals portfolio is shown in gallery settings and is also planted outside in gardens providing a new dimension for exploring the botanical garden. The outdoor show participates in and intersects with the ever-changing landscape. Laurie will discuss this new approach to the botanical illustration genre. \n\n\n\nLaurie\, who has been an award-winning international photographer-artist for over 25 years\, has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography from the College of Creative Studies in Detroit. She is a resident of Bloomfield Hills\, MI with a studio in Birmingham\, Michigan. \n\n\n\nCheck out her work at: www.laurietennentbotanicals.com \n\n\n\nVirtual Photo Shoot:  Laurie will give an assignment to the club that will involve observing closely what you might otherwise miss or dismiss in order to explore the unique patterns\, textures\, and intricacies of nature.  \n\n\n\nOn February 1\, she will review the images of those who have chosen to participate in this assignment.  Details on signing up for this virtual photoshoot to follow! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nlaurietennentbotanicals.com URL:https://kiawahphotoclub.org/event/monthly-meeting/ CATEGORIES:Calendar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kiawahphotoclub.org/wp-content/uploads/LaurieTennent.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210111T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210111T120000 DTSTAMP:20240904T173133Z CREATED:20200915T205346Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240904T173133Z UID:1537-1610359200-1610366400@kiawahphotoclub.org SUMMARY:Workshop: Nik Software w/ Jack Kotz DESCRIPTION:The Nik Collection of 8 programs has been around for some years. Although some of their functionality has been incorporated into programs such as Lightroom\, they do have a unique power to enhance color photos and to create stunning back & white photos. The great majority of color or B&W photos I post\, print\, or sell have been edited in Color Efex or Silver Efex.   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis workshop will illustrate the features of four of the components of the Nik collection: \n\n\n\nViveza \n\n\n\nColor Efex \n\n\n\nSilver Efex \n\n\n\nDfine \n\n\n\nThe suite of programs is available at https://nikcollection.dxo.comKate Silvia has some excellent videos on Nik (and other programs): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCyEw4USV4ho16g58jbwQYg/videos \n\n\n\nhttps://www.katesilviaphotography.com/ \n\n\n\nhttps://www.katesilviaphotography.com/video-education \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSee also tutorials by Robin Whalley: \n\n\n\nRobin Whalley – YouTube URL:https://kiawahphotoclub.org/event/macro-photography-artistic-floral-techniques/ CATEGORIES:Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210110T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210110T235959 DTSTAMP:20240904T173157Z CREATED:20201222T163526Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240904T173157Z UID:4690-1610236800-1610323199@kiawahphotoclub.org SUMMARY:Jan 2021 Challenge Submission deadline DESCRIPTION:Next month’s subject will be FAVORITE PHOTO FROM 2020.

For current users\, this will be an update and a good opportunity to ask our presenters specific questions about issues you’ve had with the software packages. If you do have a specific question\, please send it to either Morris (Apple)mailto:mvhanan@gmail.comor Dick (Luminar)mailto:rxl24@msn.com\, so they can prepare to address it. \n\n\n\nBoth Morris and Dick have asked that you submit an image or two that you’d like to see edited in these post-processing software packages. From a landscape to a portrait\, anything may be submitted\, and you might consider sending an image that looks “hopeless” to process to see if these software packages could help you in your post-processing efforts. If you use Apple’s Photos for editing\, then you’ll want Luminar! It is fantastic for some basic fixes that Photos does poorly\, such as erasing unwanted objects! The skin enhancer and sky replacement do a great job as well\, see below before and after images. \n\n\n\nDick will also discuss the new Skylum program – Luminar AI – which will be unveiled soon and is a totally new platform (not an upgrade from Luminar 4) heavily based on artificial intelligence. \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have Luminar 4\, the current version\, don’t buy it now\, just use their free trial. https://skylum.com/luminar-x-membership.  As the new Luminar AI is not an upgrade to Luminar 4 but rather a new product. The pre-order pricing is $59 if you already have Luminar or $69 if buying it for the first time\, this is not a subscription instead you own it outright.  \n\n\n\nKimberly Wissel \n\n\n\nKIPC Workshop Chair Just 1 click adds clouds to an image! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuminar’s skin enhancement.

We will generally follow that guide\, but there has been some suggestion that we extend the limit upward (because someone has in mind a somewhat more expensive item). \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJust a few of the things you might need are cleaning cloths\, a new camera strap\, a better equipment bag\, a lens wrench\, a mini-tripod\, a bubble level\, a Rocket blower\, a remote trigger\, color checker\, polarizing filter\, new hard drive\, Nik software\, books\, plamp\, . . . \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nI will work through my list of items but I welcome suggestions!
