March 2011 Meeting Summary

< Previous Meeting | Index | Next Meeting > The entire March meeting was devoted to judging the entries for our club's upcoming exhibit at The Wildlife Experience. The large number of members attending the March meeting indicates that this is one of our club's more popular events. The theme this year is Close Ups - A Part of the Whole. Each club member was able to submit two images online for consideration. 53 members submitted at least one entry. During the first half of the meeting, each member present was asked to vote (by raising of hands) for which of the two images submitted by a given photographer was the better of the two. Most of the time the audience had a clear preference, but for some the decision was a close one requiring several "recounts". During the break, Chuck Summers took the selected photograph for each participating photographer and created the final list from which to chose the winning photographs. Each member present was able to vote for 22 of the 53 selected photos. Chuck Winters recorded the number of votes that each image received and the 22 images receiving the most votes were chosen to be in the show. The 5 entries receiving the most votes were then in a run off to select the two Best of Shows. Hands of Time by Roger Kinney and Whiskers & Stripes by Cathy Sheeter won top honors. To see all of the wining images, look under the galleries tab on the club's website for TWE Exhibit 2011. < Previous Meeting | Index | Next Meeting >
