The Santa Clarita Valley Photographers Association is a group of dedicated photographers both amateur and professional that meets monthly to learn about photography and share images. Our members are from Santa Clarita and adjoining communities. Besides our monthly meetings the group takes field trips such as the Death Valley excursion, the Cambria excursion and participates in expositions at the Valencia Town Center and City Hall. Print and digital image competitions are held at least twice a year. The majority of our members are amateurs at all skill levels of photography however some members belong to the Professional Photographers of America, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and other organizations.Whether you are just starting out with your first camera or are a seasoned professional, SCVPA has much to offer.

Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month from 6:45pm until 9:00pm (or so.)

President's Message

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share the Zoom Recording link for last week's general membership meeting. Log in and see below.

You shouldn't need a passcode as I think I have successfully turned that function off for the recorded meetings.

As a reminder, next month we have our Digital Image Competition, the deadline for images is quickly approaching. The deadline is Monday, November 1, 2021. Email your entries to JeffreyPhoto@outlook.com. Entry forms and payment must be mailed to me at: 25675 Yucca Valley Rd. Valencia, Ca. 91355. The complete rules are on our website under the documents tab. Look for SCVPA 2021 Annual Digital Image Competition. We will be doing the competition live from the clubhouse via Zoom. Judging will be via Zoom as well (similar to last year), but we will be broadcasting live from the clubhouse. You do not need to attend the clubhouse to enter, but your entries must be entered no later than November 1, 2021. You will be emailed a response that your entry has been received.

I have also been contacted by Lisa deSouza, who is heading the Santa Clarita International Film festival (SCIFF), she is looking for help covering her event and is asking if we (SCVPA) has any photographers who would take photos during the festival. This is not a paid gig as they are suffering from lack of funds due to COVID-19 and fundraising has been limited. The event is December 9, 2021 starting at the Laemmie Newhall theater and will then move to the Regal Edwards Valencia theater for the remainder of its run. There will also be a soft launch of a music festival alongside the film festival at Westfield Valencia Town Center. You can contact Lisa at 310-926-1599, tell her you are a member of SCVPA and are interested in photographing the event.

Next week on Tuesday, October 26, 2021 we have our Zoom meeting for On Location, this month we visited the Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. There were a couple of cars shows and a weekly Farmers Market that is pretty big. Several boats, kayaks, seals and several other stuff to photograph so I hope you will join us and see what members were able to come up with.

Log in to see the Zoom link for that meeting below (please don't mix them up!):

I hope to see you all soon. Remember the DIC deadline is approaching soon! November 1, 2021.

Keep Shooting,

Kevin
