Here's what's happening at GSACC...
Finally, thanks to those of you who have responded to our EVITE for the annual dinner. There is a sign up sheet included for any sides you would like to bring. If you haven't seen it, please check your SPAM or just send me an email and I will count you in.
DON'T FORGET: There is a $10 fee for dinner that will be collected at the beginning of our evening. Please try to bring exact fees as to make collection easier for our treasurer.
January 2nd, 2020 will be our Education meeting. Peter Florczak will give a presentation on "How to Edit Your Photos for Competition". This will be a free-form meeting with, hopefully, lots of audience participation. Although he will be using Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop, plus various plugins, most of these techniques can be used with almost any photo editing software. The members will have a chance to input ideas, such as "...wouldn't this be better as a vertical, or as a black and white, or I think it's too sharp, etc." Let's all come out, support the club, and start off the New Year right!
January 16th, 2020 is our PRINT competition night. The ASSIGNMENT is Street---must be obvious that the image was taken out on the street/outdoors in a public place. We suggest that you arrive a little earlier than 7 PM so that you can enter all of your prints in a timely manner
The 2019 GSACC Yearbook can be download from our website at:

Also, to participate in the competition, you must be a paid member, but visitors are always welcome at our meetings! No membership required, but t's easy to join. Just go to the "Joining & Contacting GSACC" page, or you can even do it at the meeting.
