Competition Celebrate the Holidays For   many   years   the   Redlands   Camera   Club   has   celebrated   the   end   of   the   year with   a   Winter   Competition   and   a   Holiday   Dinner   in   December.   Of   course 2020   will   have   to   be   different.   First,   there   will   be   no   Winter   Competition.   We are currently planning a Spring Competition for March 1. But   like   everyone   else,   we   especially   need   something   to   make   us   smile.   A photographic   work   of   art   is   meant   to   elicit   a   feeling   or   emotion,   and   is   a   great way   to   express   the   joy   of   a   holiday   experience.   If   you   have   such   a   photograph (or    3)    we    invite    you    to    submit    them    for    the    first    RCC    digital    holiday celebration members’ night to be held December 7, 2020, at 7PM. The    theme    is    “Celebrate    the    Holidays.”    Which    holidays?    It’s    your    choice: Christmas,    Hanukkah,    Thanksgiving,    Festivus,    or    whatever.    It    could    be    a landscape,   portrait,   animal,   or   perhaps   a   family   snapshot.   Just   make   it   a   good photograph.   Be   creative.   Club   members   may   make   constructive   comments during the members’ night, but you may decline critique if you desire. You   may   submit   up   to   3   images.   Format   is   the   competition   standard   JPG, 1,400 pixels on the long side, sRGB color space, 200 dpi, maximum of 3.5 MB. Members   in   good   standing   may   submit   images   from   November   16-November 30   via   e-mail   to   csdetrow@verizon.net .   Provide   a   title   for   each   image   in   the e-mail,    and    name    the    files    with    your    last    name    and    a    sequence    number. (Example,   detrow-1.jpg;   detrow-2.jpg)   Be   sure   to   mention   in   the   e-mail   if   you prefer   no   critique.   We   don’t   want   this   to   go   all   night,   so   we’ll   show   all   the   #1 images from all entrants first, then the rest as time permits. It's   not   the   same   as   our   usual   holiday   get-together,   but   it   will   be   fun.   You   are welcome   to   sip   an   appropriate   holiday   beverage   during   the   event.   I’ll   miss   the dessert pizza, though. Remember, you must be a club member in good standing to participate in the competition.
