Photojournalism And Shoreline Photography
During its latest program night,ÃÂ on May 12, Flagpole Photographers Camera Club member Don Brooks shared his experience and knowledge on photojournalism for both print media and photography competitions.
Attendees not only learned the differences between photos for publications and contests, but were also informed that educational content and emotional impact outweigh the pictorial quality of the image. Pictures from the workshop and additional information can be viewed at flagpolephotographers.com.
The next competition night will be held on Thursday, May 26, at 7:15 pm, at Newtown Senior Center, 14 Riverside Road in Sandy Hook. The assigned subject "Shorelines" is not limited to the oceanic coast and may include lakes and rivers as well. With the newly established category Color Class B, the club hopes to attract more starters to enter print photographs.
While the competition is only open to members, the public is invited to listen to critiques and learn about photography. There is no charge to attend Flagpole Photographers Camera Club competitions. Members compete in a different assignment each month, as well as in three additional categories: Open Digital, Open Color and Open Monochrome.
