“ Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow. – Imogen Cunningham
A Meeting and an Outing!
Our meeting for November is sneaking up on us! For all you Leaf Peepers and Bird Peepers, this season must be just your cup of tea. Have you been out there capturing the best of Mother Nature? Hope so. And, then please bring it in PRINT form for PRINT NIGHT on Tuesday, November 3rd!
Our meeting will be held at the Studio Artists Gallery on Lincoln just across from the Police Station. Be there early to help the team set up. We have been so fortunate to have an average of 40 members and guests show up at the meetings lately. We are a lucky group!
I will let you know later who our guest will be. I don't have it finalized quite yet.
And, also remember that on Saturday, November 7th, we will be trying out a new gathering. We will be meeting and going up to Apple Hill. We will be meeting at the Foods For Less near the Taco Bell by the Freeway at 8:45 for a 9:00 leave time. It will take about an hour to get there and we plan on about three stops. We will meet for lunch at one of the farms, so you can bring a picnic or purchase some goodies there. Can you stand the thought of warm carmel Apple Pie? There will be a Guy Fawkes celebration at one of the farms with Morris Dancers (Irish/English dancers). So, that might add just a bit more to the mix for you.
So, let's plan on Fall Color, Apples, Pumpkins, Dancers, Good People and Good Times!
FotoClave 2009
hosted by Modesto Photo Club
The Photograhic Society of America (PSA) is hosing a glorious weekend of photography October 30-November 1st in Modesto! Keynote speaker Saturday and Sunday is George Lepp! Friday's keynote program is on Yosemite. Plus, Saturday seminars! Vendors! Banquets! Like a mini-PSA convention, registration is only $50 or $75 for couples. Check out the info at: http://www.fotoclave.org/FotoClave2009/Fotoclave_2009.html
Let's see some WCF members attend!
George Lepp is one of the Canon's Explorers of Light. He is one of North America's best-known contemporary outdoor and nature photographers. His passions for natural beauty, technical precision, cutting-edge technology, and environmental responsibility are revealed in his beautiful and compelling photographic images. He is also widely recognized for his unique dedication to sharing his photographic and biological knowledge with other photographers through his own seminars and writing. In both realms, George Lepp is a leader in the rapidly advancing field of digital imaging.
Remember, Modesto is only 100 miles away going I5 and 99. One and half hour drive, you can do Saturday and come back if you don't have any other time available. The hotel they are using (DoubleTree) is still allowing the convention price of $99 a night (but it could close at any time!!). Very luxourious and easy to get to the conference as well!!
This is great foothills and vineyard country too. Fall in the foothill vineyards could be ideal for some California Valley shots. And, it is not too far away from Yosemite, especially just after they talk about it on Saturday!
Membership for the PSA is only $15 per year.
Keep track of the emerging Fall color in the Sierras! The map is updated, and the site also has shooting tips for Fall color spectaculars.

Keynote Presentations By: This year's Summit in Reno will be one of the most unique Summits NANPA has ever produced. It's not just that we changed the name of the event to Nature Photography Summit to better reflect our offerings, but also that we have decided to add more value and networking opportunities to the revamped schedule. The Summit will hold many firsts :
Of course, this will take place in Reno, Nevada, where the sun shines for over 300 days of the year. The John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino Resort is looking forward to our stay and will be providing free internet, free parking, and an airport shuttle service, as well as green practices throughout the property. Welcome Reception Tuesday evening - one of the best places to start networking. You may have met many NANPA members online, but the Summit--and the Welcome Reception in particular--is your chance to meet them face-to-face. Who Should Attend |
