2023-02021 Fine Art Photography SIG meeting notes
We met online using ZOOM 6:00pm-8:00pm
The goal of our Fine Art Photography SIG is to help each other to create fine art from our photography.
The Fine Art SIG is a place where artists support each other and nurture creativity in others.
Unrequested criticism can feed an artist's fear of failure and stifle their creative growth.

OUR MAIN DISCUSSION TOPICS WERE "Winter Landscapes" and "Light Bulbs".
I'm not a Landscape photographer, so I asked the group why I should care about "Landscape Photography". The main reasons seemed to be "Capturing a Special Moment in Nature" and "the Challenge to Capture That Moment".
We had lots of good images, and discussion of Winter Landscapes, especially "Why did I take that picture?".
RESOURCES (Where you can find sources of inspiration)
Winter Landscape Photography
Mike Hohol wrote up an interesting article about Winter Landscape Photography, and I added it to the Resources page of the club website.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUES AND PERSONAL PROJECTS
I don't remember if we had time to discuss any personal projects.
PICK A TOPIC FOR THE NEXT MEETING
We picked the topic "Reflections with unique light sources", inspired by the lightbulb pictures, for our next meeting. When you show your pictures at the next meeting I want to hear what the goal was for each picture, and how you accomplished it.
We may try Urban Landscape Photography when the weather warms up a bit.
AGENDA FOR OUR NEXT FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY SIG MEETING - Tue 3/21/2023 @6:00pm
1. The main topic will be "Reflections with Unique Light Sources".
2. We will hold constructive critiques (optional) Pick as many as 3 images that you would like critiqued, and be prepared to show them by sharing your screen during the ZOOM meeting.
3. We will pick a topic for the next meeting
If you don't have time to research the topic, or you don't have any images that you want to have critiqued, that is OK, you can just attend the meeting and participate when you want.
I would like to see more pictures from our Fine Art SIG in the regular club meeting slideshows.
Jim Limburg will send out the Meeting ID, passcode, and meeting link when we have scheduled the meeting, which will be about a week before the meeting date.
Please email Mike, info@fcdcc.com, when you find mistakes, missing information or if you have suggestions for the Fine Art Photography SIG and I will try to address the issues.
