Celebrations will be the competition theme in prints and slides and the election of\u00a0 a treasurer will be one of the items of business.<\/p>\n<p>When we think about celebrations, possibly big events such as Christmas, New Years, Easter, Thanksgiving,\u00a0or the 4th of July pop right up, but there are family events too.\u00a0 Birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations go to the older members and births, first steps, first words, and first day of school are reserved for the newest members of the family.<\/p>\n<p>Who can sit still when your team scores the winning basket, touchdown or extra point just as time runs out? Or how many personal events have you celebrated?\u00a0 Achievements in class work, church, organizations, or sporting events and possibly the first date with that special someone and later, engagement, marriage, and returning home after being away for a long\u00a0time\u00a0begin to flood your memory. Parents, sportsmen,\u00a0and survivors\u00a0of all ages will have stories of celebration\u00a0to tell.<\/p>\n<p>The pictures you take at such times should not only capture the event, but also convey how the participants felt. Including expressions on people&#8217;s faces, their\u00a0body position or movement, and visual clues about when or where the scene took place will all contribute to telling the story. While all this is racing through your mind, remember to place the main reason for the picture off center, with more space where the subject is looking or their direction of movement. Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action, but consider a slightly slower speed if a slight blur would convey the motion of the subject or observers.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors are always welcome. We hope to see you there January 12 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rex Dolby I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that 2012 brings you many good things.
