Photographers Strut Their Stuff

DSLR cameras are just part of the picture

What are you doing on Wednesday mornings?

We are taking a free basic photography course (Introduction to Digital Photography) from Alison.com’s stock of free coursework.

Our first lessons included sharing and critiquing our photographs as we learned about cameras and photo techniques.

Gallery Show

Soon, we weren’t content with just snapping and sharing. We determined that we should host a show of our finest shots. While we won’t finish the photo course until October, we set the date for our first photo show for August.

Why so soon? Why before we finish the course? Because we decided to send two winners of our first gallery show on to the 2019 Utah State Fair. Since the due date is the end of August, our first gallery show has morphed into a contest.

Competition

Details. Anyone in our Wednesday group may enter one or more photos. Not just any photos but photos taken since May 15, 2019, using the principles we've learned. Photo content must fit into one of the 2019 Utah State Fair categories. For the gallery show, photos will be printed on paper, then displayed for class gallery show.

Criteria. Group will develop scoring criteria. Then they'll rank each entry based on their criteria.

Results. Two winning entries may be moved forward to compete in the 2019 Utah State Fair. An anonymous donor will pay for printing, mounting, and entering fees for the top two winners of Literacy Action Center’s August gallery show.
