Recently a young friend of mine told me about a site that offered classes online for free IF you catch them live streaming. After that, you have to pay for the class. SO, I've been watching for upcoming photography classes. There is one this Tuesday, July 14th, and I wanted to post it for any one who may be interested. I have not viewed the class, and due to work will only be able to view part of it, so if you get a chance to watch it, please share what you learned with the rest of us. :-)

Photography Judging Information
Photography Judging Project
The classes for the Photography Judging project will
begin THIS Thursday night, January 15th. We will meet at 6:00pm at the Extension
Office in Rusk. We will then meet every
other Thursday night for several weeks.
The objectives of this project is to help you learn
how to judge a photo technically (i.e. looking for lighting, composition,
interesting subject matter, focus, etc.)
This project teaching the participant develop critical thinking and
decision making skills. It will also
help you develop your photography skills.
This is actually a VERY FUN project, and costs NOTHING except your
expenses to the competitions.
Tabitha
Patterson (owner of Borrowed Moments Photography and Professional
Photographer) will be leading the classes and will focus on one aspect of photography each week. You will also learn what is involved in the
project/competition and practice that.
This is a new project, and is NOT a qualifying
event; like the photography project itself.
However, we WILL have both County and District contests for this event.
This is also
an invitational event at State Roundup. That
means we can already plan to take both Intermediate AND Senior teams to State
Roundup to compete.
This is an amazing
opportunity for Intermediates and younger Seniors to see what all State Roundup
is about. IF you would like to be on a
team you will need to be able to attend state Round up on June 8th –
12th. Photography Judging
Competition is the afternoon of the 9th. More information will be
given at the class on Thursday, but if you have any questions, etc. please
contact Wendy Emprimo 903-721-7897.
** Jr.’s can
attend the classes and participate at county and district, but only
Intermediates and Seniors may go to State.
We REALLY want to take at least one team in each division (more if we
can) to represent Cherokee County. Keep
in mind that when your record book is judged they like to see variety in
projects; to see that you are “expanding your interests”. This would be a good one to start with.
Dates of classes and competitions:
Jan. 15th & 29th
Feb. 12th & 26th
March 12th
April 9th
County Roundup (Which will include Photography
Judging) is March 21st.
District Roundup (Which will include Photography
Judging) is April 25th
May's dates are TBD, but we will meet to talk about
results of District Roundup and go over some things before State Roundup.
