Q.T. Luong is a full-time freelance nature and travel photographer from San Jose.
Born to Vietnamese parents in France, he was trained as a scientist (PhD U. Paris). The revelation of the high Alps led him to become a mountain climber and wilderness guide. When he came to the US to conduct research in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing, he fell in love with the National Parks. After he became the first to photograph all of them in large format, Ken Burns featured him in "The National Parks: America's Best Idea" (2009).
He has been profiled in more than a dozen press articles (eg, Boston Globe, National Geographic Explorer, Parks Magazine, Outdoor Photographer) and called a "modern master."
His photographs have been published in three dozen countries, are the subject of two coffee table books, and have been seen in museum and gallery solo exhibits on both US coasts. All photos © Q.T. Luong

PSA Annual Conference: Overview
http://www.psa-photo.org/conference/ One of the most enjoyable activities of PSA is the week- long Annual Conference. The Annual Conference is held in September or October in a different location each year. All locations are in the United States because of the difficulty in transporting the prints, society supplies, and awards across borders. The past PSA Conference locations illustrate the great variety of photography settings that participants have enjoyed. Background information can be found in the history of the PSA Annual Conference that was prepared for the PSA 75th Anniversary. During the Annual Conference registrants can participate in photo tours, classes, workshops, and photo shoots. There is an Opening Meeting of the Society with award presentations, an extensive Print Exhibition, a variety of programs, featured speakers in the evenings, social events, a vendor area with product demonstrations, numerous photographic activities, and a Banquet on the last evening. The PSA Annual Conference is the social event of the year. For many members, it is their first PSA activity. The Conference is a great way to meet people, have a personal encounter with someone whose photography is known, and renew longtime acquaintances. Beginning April 1 each year, http://www.psa-photo.org/conference includes all the information needed to register for the PSA Annual Conference:

Here are 2 Rules you can use if you want to try photography without using your light meter or your light meter doesn’t work well like with Moon photography!
Sunny 16 Rule
The basic guide to photography exposure is very simple. If you have a bright, sunny day, then use f-stop 16 for your camera lens aperture. The shutter speed should then be set to the equivalent of your ISO film speed – or the next number over. For example, if you are using an ISO film speed of 100, your shutter speed should be set to 1/125. More than often, your shutter speed number will be higher than the ISO film speed, but it is simply easier to remember that film speed equals shutter speed. The Sunny 16 rule can also help to determine aperture and shutter speed settings when conditions are not typical sunny days. For example, a hazy sun will require you to close one stop to f/11 while an overcast day would require f/5.6. Normally, changing the f-stop would require you to also change your shutter speed to ensure an even exposure. With the Sunny 16 rule, disregard that. Simply remember to keep you shutter speed set to the film speed ISO and the aperture to the amount of sun available. Here is a quick table to help you understand the Sunny 16 rule, how it applies to different film speeds, and how different amounts of sun will affect the f-stop.
Sunny Hazy Sun Cloudy Overcast Distinct Soft Barely Visible No Shadows Shadows Shadows Shadows F-Stop f / 16 f / 11 f / 8 f / 5.6 ISO 100 1/125 1/125 1/125 1/125 ISO 200 1/250 1/250 1/250 1/250 ISO 400 1/500 1/500 1/500 1/500 ISO 800 1/1000 1/1000 1/1000 1/1000
Looney 11 Rule
In lunar photography, the Looney 11 rule (also known as the Looney f/11 rule) is a method of estimating correct exposures without a light meter. The basic rule is, "For astronomical photos of the moon's surface, set aperture to f/11 and shutter speed to the ISO film speed or ISO setting."
With ISO 100 film / setting in the camera, one sets the aperture to f/11 and the shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/125 second (on some cameras 1/125 second is the available setting nearest to 1/100 second). With ISO 200 film / setting and aperture at f/11, set shutter speed to 1/200 or 1/250. With ISO 400 film / setting and aperture at f/11, set shutter speed to 1/400 or 1/500.
As with other light readings, shutter speed can be changed as long as the f-number is altered to compensate, e.g. 1/250 second at f/8 gives equivalent exposure to 1/125 second at f/11. Generally, the adjustment is done such that for each step in aperture increase (i.e., decreasing the f-number), the exposure time has to be halved (or equivalently, the shutter speed doubled), and vice versa. The intensity of visible sunlight striking the surface of the moon is essentially the same as at the surface of the earth. The albedo of the moon's surface material is lower (darker) than that of the earth's surface, and the Looney 11 rule increases exposure by one stop versus the Sunny 16 rule. Many photographers simply use the f/16-based Sunny 16 rule, unmodified, for lunar photographs. Information was found on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_11_rule June 2013 Page 13 of 17
Board Meeting of May 13, 2013
Presiding: N4C President Jim Cutler presiding. The meeting was called to order at 7:34 PM. Roll call: Role call was read by N4C Secretary, Jane Postiglione. Present: President & Millbrae backup N4C Rep, Jim Culter, Vice President, Helen Sweet, Secretary, Jane Postiglione, Treasurer & Webmaster, Teri Schoech, Print Co-Chairs, Gene Morita and Joan Field, PI Chair, EI Coordinator & backup Berkeley N4C Rep, Gene Albright, Special Programs Chair & FotoClave Trustee, Joan Field, Alameda N4C Rep, Terry Toomey, Berkeley Rep, Elizabeth Saucier, Contra Costa N4C Rep, Mike Luebke, Diablo Valley N4C Rep, Jim Ludwig, Livermore Valley N4C Rep, Ed Mestre, Marin N4C Rep, Rick Budde, Millbrae N4C Rep, David Evans, Peninsula N4C Rep, Jenny Gu, and Rossmoor N4C Rep, Tim Christophersen. Not Present: Judges Chair & PSA Rep, Joe Hearst, Palo Alto N4C Rep, Sue Forbes, Photochrome N4C Rep Mary Asturias, and the Newsletter Editor, Amory Donaldson. Minutes: April Minutes were approved by the Board. President: President Jim Cutler reported that his meeting regarding membership in N4C with the Santa Rosa Camera Club was still on for May 23rd. Jim noted he still has to work on possible revised competition calendar dates. Competition date revisions were suggested in order to avoid having any club member end up being judged in the Annual Competition in two different levels. Jim said the Judges Seminar was still on target to occur Sunday May 19th. Vice President: Vice President Helen Sweet is waiting for the revised contract from the Lafayette Park Hotel for the 2013 Annual Banquet planned for Sunday, February 9th, 2014. Treasurer: Treasurer Teri Schoech reported that she paid several N4C Bills: church meeting room rent, annual banquet deposit, and judges fees. The Treasurer’s Report was approved by the Board. Secretary: Secretary Jane Postiglione. No report. Judges Chair: Judges Chair, Joe Hearst was not in attendance. (The April minutes noted Rose Bower for PI and Wendell Delano for Prints; June will be Dan Katzman for Prints and John Goyer for PI). David Evans gave an update about the upcoming PSA Yerba Buena Chapter/N4CJudges Seminar in San Mateo. So far 27 people have signed up for the seminar. He noted that the afternoon session could hold 20 students max, Mentor Judges will be available after the seminar to schedule individual coaching sessions with seminar attendees, and Mentor Judges will also co-judge with a new judge. Print Chair: Gene Morita said prints mounted or matted with poor quality double-sided tape have been a problem. A motion was made to revise the N4C Rules to say: “Prints that are mounted or matted must be securely assembled or they will be rejected.” Motion passed. David Evans brought up several items regarding print rules such as inverting images in the Nature division. A discussion ensued, but no changes to rules were necessary. Gene mentioned that N4C is getting more prints than in the past. In a recent N4C competition June 2013 Page 14 of 17
there were over 200 prints. EI Coordinator: Gene Albright reported the numbers for the most recent N4C competition: There were 177 Print entries and 288 PI entries. Foto Fanfare Editor: Foto Fanfare Editor, Amory Donaldson was not present. PSA: PSA Rep Joe Hearst was not in attendance. FotoClave: No report. (There will be no FotoClave event this year, 2013). Webmaster: Teri noted there was a glitch in the N4C website domain registration which had expired, but the problem was promptly fixed. The issue of hits on the new N4C website was raised, and Teri said she will report web stats at the next board meeting. Joan Field said she will give the revised N4C club Print labels to Teri to post on the website. Old Business: None New Business: David Evans asked about the rules and the minimum and maximum size of an actual printed image, not including boarders or mount/mat size. This will be discussed in the next Board meeting. PSA Yerba Buena Chapter Chair, Joan Field, said she would contact Go Daddy Tech Support to get assistance in producing a successful Google search for the chapter’s new site. Helen Sweet asked if you could stitch a panoramic image together for journalism. A brief discussion ensued. Meeting adjourned at 9:00 PM. Respectfully submitted by Secretary Jane Postiglione Next N4C Board Meeting: Monday Evening June 10th.
17 Mile Drive I hadn’t been on the 17 Mile Drive in Pacific Grove in a hundred years!!! Well, not really that long, but long enough that, when someone told me you couldn’t stop anywhere to take photographs, I believed them! I am so glad that I ignored that info and went on the 17 Mile Drive this past weekend while in Carmel. It is still one of the most beautiful drives that I have been on and there are 21 Points of Interest to stop and see while following the red line on the road! It costs $9.95, but it’s worth it! You have to drive it when you are down in Monterey or Carmel … it’s beautiful!
