Finding Artistic Development

Robert W. Fawcett (Bob) – Retired from 31 years of Government service, 26 of those years as a Forensic / Scientific / Technical Photographer. Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the interest in photography began early with Dad taking the family on those weekend drives through the country, taking in the scenery down those back roads never explored. Little did I know back then it would become a career that would take me on a journey to places around the globe. That journey began in Washington, D.C. in October of 1985. As I continue the journey the plan is to share with others the passion of photography and pass along the experiences from the days of film to the current digital world. From the beginning and up to this present time I have always been a true believer of shooting in a manual mode, using the three things of what photography is ISO, Aperture and Shutter. When mastered one can be in total control of light and the vision in your mind to capture the creative images you desire.

The Club supports a number of Special Interest Groups (SIG's) to address varied photographic interests of the members. Currently the club recognizes SIGs for Wildlife Photography, Landscape Photography, Travel Photography and Post Processing.
Club members are welcome to "join" any SIG and meet for photo outings, reviewing prints and whatever else supports their common photographic interests. Scheduled SIG activity is published on the club calendar. Interested TCC members may contact the SIG leader for more information.
A Speaker will first present a Lecture on a photographic topic and indicate an "Assignment". This Assignment is a call for members to submit images based on criteria discussed in the lecture. This assignment could be viewed as a Theme, or as a challenge to try something new, or an opportunity to display a member's current grasp of the photographic concept presented.
Image Requirements: Submitted images will be JPG images preferably in sRGB colorspace to render colors correctly on screen. Size the images 1500 pixels on the long side, which means the image should be 1500 pixels tall or 1500 pixels wide or 1500 x1500 pixels square and not larger. Members will be allowed to submit up to two entries using their Member ID Number followed by -1, or -2 as their entry name. This process will allow the Speaker to discuss individual submissions and identify common strengths and areas for further attention. Example: 123-1.jpg & 123-2.jpg
Image subject matter will vary as specified by the Speaker, and they will be displayed on the Club website.
Members are encouraged to make friends and work together, even on assignments. The Club expects submitted images to be the work of the member submitting. Post Capture Processing is viewed as an expected part of the Digital Image Making process which begins with an idea, equipment selection and actual image capture.
Tidewater Camera Club exhibits member prints in a variety of local venues throughout the year. Many believe that the print is the ultimate expression of a photograph.
A local club exhibit is a great place for the photographer to express a vision and connect with others.
Each venue will come with unique opportunity, whether a juried collection of prints chosen to work together, a themed exhibit or a ‘member’s choice’ opportunity to examine what members believe represents their best work. Often, the prints will be available for sale.
