Once again WCC took the winning place against some s�ff compe��on. The standard of IANDAMERELL the compe�ng clubs is certainly improving, and we are going to have to keep the good work up if we are to maintain our top spot next year. Our recent workshops and ou�ng to the glass blowers were very informa�ve events. Both were well received by our members and we had a great turnout. 2020 Has certainly taken a turn for the worse as we find ourselves confined to quarters under the Covid-19 lockdown. However, this does not mean the WCC has suspended all ac�vi�es and neither should any of you. Judging has and will con�nue to take place as normal. The presenta�on of results and feedback may be a li�le different, but we will get these out to all of you. Please take the opportunity to look at your fellow togs images and the comments as well as you would do in a normal judging evening. It goes without saying that our mee�ngs and events will be cancelled for April as well. We will be ins�tut- ing some regular photo challenges though to keep everyone clicking and hopefully inspired and chal- lenged to try something else. Details will be posted on all our media pla�orms shortly so please keep an eye out for these. I encourage you all to take part in these fun events. So, through all the madness that Covid-19 has brought us, and the uncertainty it has created in our lives I sincerely request of all of you that you take care of yourselves and your families. I am looking forward to seeing each and every member in full health when we are all back together. Stay safe and healthy and happy clicking All. westville camera club 06 generalclub info image entry digital submissions Any digital image entered in a section may Digital images to be submitted electronically not at any time be re-entered in that or any via PHOTOVAULTONLINE. other section or medium for promotional pur- poses.

  • Noun Compounds in Photography Compuestos Nominales En La
    ATLANTIS Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies 42.2 (December 2020): 72-98 e-issn 1989-6840 DOI: http://doi.org/10.28914/Atlantis-2020-42.2.04 © The Author(s) Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike 4.0 International Licence Noun Compounds in Photography Iryna Mykytka Universidad Católica de Murcia [email protected] Compounding is considered to be the most productive device in coining new words in many languages, including English. Numerous studies have dealt with compounds in recent decades. However, in spite of a large number of works on compounds in the general language, few authors have dealt with compounds in specialized languages. We find studies on compounds in science and technology or architecture, just to mention a few. The present article focuses on compound nouns in photography, a field that has to date not been researched in this regard but is extremely rich and interesting. The aim of this study is to outline the types of noun compounds in photography and to illustrate the range of semantic relationships and morphosyntactic patterns that occur in coining new noun compounds in the photography lexis. In order to carry out the study, a corpus-based approach was followed. The data was gathered from professional photography blogs providing authentic up-to- date lexis. The results show that there is a large presence and variety of patterns of noun compounds in photography, such as noun compounds made up of noun + noun (photo album, time-lapse, shutter speed), verb + noun (catchlight, burn tool, protect filter), adjective + noun (white balance, softbox, glowing filter) and phrase compounds (depth of focus, rule of thirds, pan and tilt).

  • 2020 Special Subject Explanations
    2020 Special Subject Explanations January: Architectural This category encompasses habitable buildings or utilitarian architecturally‐designed structures such as barns, theaters, airports, factories, office buildings, lighthouses, bridges, monuments, and distinct elements thereof, as well as similar structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and meaningful representations of their subjects. This category includes interior structures such as stairways, windows, and doors, as well as exterior structures such as steeples, towers, and domes. Architectural images should convey the experience of being in and around a building or structure. People may be included in an architectural photo but should not overpower the emphasis on the nature of the structure. An image may be presented in color or monochrome. Alterations As with all reality‐based divisions, (Nature, Photo Travel, and Photojournalism), techniques that add, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not permitted. The only allowable modifications are removal of dust, scratches or digital noise, restoration of the existing appearance of the original scene, sharpening that is not obvious, and complete conversion to grayscale monochrome. Other derivations, including infrared, are not eligible. All allowed adjustments must appear natural. Note: "Restoration of the appearance of the original scene" may include techniques such as HDR, focus stacking and dodging/burning provided they do not alter the contents of the original scene and the result looks natural. Borders Borders are optional, but must be 3 or 4 pixels in width and must be white or a shade of grey. March: Cute Whimsical, wry, or adorable, the “cute” category is a catchall for appealing to the viewer in an endearing way.

  • Definition of Minimalism in Merriam-Webster: a Style Or Technique (As in Music, Literature, Or Design) That Is Characterized by Extreme Sparseness and Simplicity
    Definition of Minimalism in Merriam-Webster: A style or technique (as in music, literature, or design) that is characterized by extreme sparseness and simplicity. Minimalism in Photography (Google home page for minimalism in photography). Minimalism depends on high simplicity and involves using a minimal amount of compositional components such as shape, color and line. On Minimalizm: “Make things as Simple as Possible, but no Simpler.” Albert Einstein “There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.” Leo Tolstoy The K.I.S.S. theory- Keep it simple, stupid. I have no idea who composed this, but its evocative simplicity works. Following is “A 10 Step Guide to Superb Minimalist Photography.” The article is penned by Simon Bray from envatotuts. This is a simple, but very effective article on how to make it so. Very much worth the quick read. There is one example of plastic clothes pegs on a line. I figure it needs improvement- what do you think? The next article is also by evantotuts (the author in this case is Prakash Ghodke) with 50 examples. https://photography.tutsplus.com/articles/a-10-step-guide-to-superb-minimalist- photography--photo-4487 https://photography.tutsplus.com/articles/less-is-more-50-examples-of-minimalist- photography--photo-3914 Light Stalking has a great article entitled “7 ways to Make Your Minimalist Photography More-----Minimal? The authors name; minimalist in itself- “Richard.” https://www.lightstalking.com/minimalist-photography/ A good video (remember to skip adds) speaks to a master in Minimalism, Michael Kenna. There are several videos on or by Michael but this is certainly a good introduction.
