County Results Are In!!!!! :-)

I am sorry that these are being posted late, but I wanted to make sure I had everything finished, and correct before posting.

First, let me say that you ALL did a wonderful job. We have a lot of kids with natural talent for photography. Keep learning, and having fun taking photos!! :-)

OK, the following will be divided up in individual categories, in no particular order. The color ribbon will be listed next to your name. If you would like copies of your judges scores/comments, please let me know. The judges made comments on several of your photos that may be helpful to you.

BTW... the photos will be on display at the Jacksonville Public Library until Friday, November 20th, if you would like to go by and see them.

PHOTOS ARE UP

The photos are up at the Jacksonville Public Library. All I lack is a display sign that says, "Cherokee County 4-H Photography Contest", and that will go up first thing Monday morning. :-)

The judging will last all next week, and the photos will come down on November 16th at noon. As soon as we get the score sheets we will post the winners.

You all did a great job. Several patrons stopped as we were putting them up and had wonderful compliments. Stop by this week and check it out. :-)

Info. on District

GREAT NEWS!! The District photography contest deadline is in March!! :-)

SO, you have until March to take your photos for the District contest. The photos MUST be given to Willie by 5:00 pm March 18, 2010, because he will drive the photos to Overton on the 19th.

The guidelines should be posted next week, but we already have some information, that I want to pass on to you.

1. Entry fee is $5 per person, 50 cents per photo.
2. Eligible photos must have been taken from March '09 - March 2010. So, double check your county submissions. If they were taken BEFORE March '09, they cannot move on to District.
3. The Divisions are the same as county/state with 2 additions.
There will be a District Theme: "Water". Water must be the main focus of your photo in this division.
There is also a Technical Challenge Division: "Sell a Product."

The deadline to enter photos into the State Competition is April 15th. You will need to enter at 4-H online, and your photos must be postmarked by April 15th.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me, or give me a call. :-)

Deadline is TOMORROW!!

Just a reminder that you need to have your photos for the county contest to Willie by 5:00 pm tomorrow.

Again, just a reminder, you do NOT have to compete as county to compete at district. So, if you still want to do it, but need more time, don't stress. :-) HAVE FUN!!! :-)

Questions from Workshop

We had a great workshop tonight. Thank you to all who attended. It looks like we are going to have a lot of participants in the photography project this year. ;-)

I wanted to address a couple of the questions that were asked tonight.

1. Panoramic photos - I was told "if it is a panoramic camera, then the photo is NOT considered "special effects." If it is a regular camera, and you use the panoramic setting, then it IS being manipulated, therefore it would be put in the "special effects" category.

2. If you have two categories represented in your photo, such as a child and animal in the same photo. the category will be determined by the main subject of your photo. For example, if the child takes up most of the space in the picture, then the child is the subject of the photo, and it would be placed in the "people" category. If the animal takes up most of the space, then it would be placed in the "animal" category. If it looks to you like it is 50/50, then it can go in either one.

I hope this answers your questions. If you need further assistance, please e-mail me. :-)

Workshop Reminder

Just a reminder that the photography workshop will be Monday, October 5th at 7:00 pm. We will meet at the Extension Office. We will cover the same things we covered at the last one, so if you attended that one you don't have to attend this one, but if you would like to we would be happy to have you. ;-)

Please, remember that your photos for the County Competition are due October 30th by 5:00 pm. Just get them to Willie at the Extension Office. ;-)

Hope to see you all there.

Wendy
