Eighteen people attended the Dubuque Camera Club virtual meeting on October 5, 2020. The meeting was hosted via Zoom by Bob Felderman. It was led by club president Ronald Tigges.
- The club finalized the details of an outdoor photo shoot the following Sunday at Eagle Point Park.
- Club membership numbers were mentioned. As of this meeting, the club has 26 active members. If your membership is inactive, simply pay your club dues to reactivate your membership and become eligible to enter N4C contests and participate in all club activities and events.
- Several photo contests were mentioned. See a list in another post.
- Henry Matthiessen mentioned an upcoming in-person screening of his film with Dean Wellman, Riding the Light.
- An announcement was made that N4C print competitions (which our club does NOT enter) are on hold. Apparently, few people are entering due to the challenges of mailing prints back and forth during a pandemic.
The N4C print competition will need to see some updates in the future. Disposable 8×10″ prints are one suggestion that would reduce hassle and costly mailings. If the print contest is streamlined, our club may participate in the future. Right now, we only enter digital competition categories.
Submissions and Returns. During tonight’s meeting, we went over our club’s submissions to the October 2020 monthly N4C contest, as well as returns from the September contest.
Remember, submissions are always due by the first club meeting of each month (see the Competition page on this website to learn more). Past submissions by individual club members may be viewed in the club’s online gallery.
In September 2020, the following Dubuque Camera Club members were recognized:
- Stephonie Schmitz, 1st place in Digital Travel, and two honorable mention awards
- Ron Tigges, two merit awards
- Ken Kiss, two merit awards
- Kevin McTague, two merit awards
