2016 48 in 48 Winners!
Once again, THANK YOU to everyone who participated. We understand that this is a strenuous contest. Teams must have stamina, be strategic, and of course be talented photographers. We hope to continue to have great random prizes to give away throughout the contest so that beginners can win prizes too. Beginning photographers who have now played the last two years have also told us that the contest helps them to gain skill and improve their thinking when it comes to choosing a subject and choosing composition. Of course we also want to improve, so any feedback regarding this (now only 2-year old) competition would be welcomed.
This year, we had one clear winner for 1st place early on, and the rest were VERY close. In fact, many of the teams tied for 3rd, 4th and 5th place. The difference between these places were just one vote.
Here is a re-cap of how we judge: Judges are sent 48 individual emails with the category in the subject line. The judges see screenshots of the images up for judging in that particular category so the contest is completely blind judged. If we have an even amount of volunteer full-time judges, we have a separate tie-breaker judge who also blind judges. We tally up how many categories each team has won and that determines our winner. Starting next year, if we have ties for the number of category wins, we will tie-break those by looking to see which team has submitted the most photos. And now onto the winners…..
In 6th place we have a 3-way tie including….
Northern Sky Force, Grand Rapids

June Meeting Minutes
Welcome: The meeting was opened by President Zak . There were a total of 13 members present and 6 guests.
Zak explained to the potential new members and guests that the club meets every month on the 3rd Tuesday and that the membership fee is $25 for individual members and $40 for family memberships. The fees help the club pay for guest speakers, trips, and training sessions as well as rent for the space in the Center for the Arts.
The club website and email address are on the first slide of the slide show and there is a calendar of events on the web site.
Treasurer’s Report
There is a current balance of approximately $4,125.
Volunteers
The club needs someone to coordinate the volunteer fundraising activity at the Crow River Winery and dinner theater. This coordinator will need to commit to being there all 3 nights that the club members will be serving food. Anyone who might be interested should contact Kristine for details. We would like to have this coordinator lined up by August.
The 48 in 48 photo challenge will be August 5 through August 7. The categories will be released to the participants at 5 pm on Friday, August 5. The deadline for signing up for the contest is 5 pm on Friday, August 5. All photos entered in the challenge are due by 5 pm on Sunday, August 7. There is a wide variety of prizes for this contest including door prizes.
Upcoming Workshops:
- How to Make Portraits using Natural Light with Kristine on July 5, 2016 at 7 pm. The cost for this workshop is $5.00 per person.
- Macro Workshop with Dave Johnson from National Camera on Sunday, July 10 from 1 pm until 5 pm. The cost for this workshop is $15.00 per person.
- Composition with Linda Baysinger Peck on Wednesday, July 27.
Anyone interested in attending these workshops should contact Zak or Kristine by email. Future workshops like these will require a minimum attendance of 4 because we need to pay to rent this space.
We are headed to York Farm after the club meeting tonight. There are a lot of interesting things for photographers including structures, pigs, pond, vineyard, and flowers. Feel free to roam at your own pace. Anyone who would like to can share their photos with York Farm by uploading those photos to the club’s Flickr account.
In July, we will be touring local gardens, like we did last year. We also have the option of setting up and shooting still lifes here at the Center for the Arts for those who don’t want to go on the garden tour.
For those who ordered photo club shirts, the online store, created just for us is closing this Friday.
This Month’s Winner
Congratulations to Linda Baysinger Peck for winning this month’s “Transportation” category.

We are working on getting our damage deposit refunded for the trip to Door County. Club members who attended that trip will receive their refunds.
Club discussion regarding the fundraising events at Clay Coyote and Crow River Winery. Both fundraisers have advantages and disadvantages to them and it’s hard to find enough volunteers to fill all the shifts for both events. The club voted, by narrow margin of 8 to 6, to keep Crow River Winery and to stop Clay Coyote for next year. The 48 in 48 event is expected to grow and replace the funds lost to the club by not serving food at Clay Coyote.
Bryan Hansel Night Skies Photography – this workshop is set for August 26 from 7:30 pm until midnight. The cost is $60.00 per person and volunteer hours cannot be used to offset that fee. The workshop will include photographs of sunset, the blue hour, star trails, light painting, the Milky Way, and one on one instruction with Bryan. Those members interested in taking this workshop need to contact Barb after the meeting and make their payments. Email reminders will be sent to the participants closer to the event and the event will be posted to the Club’s event calendar.
Upcoming Club Events
- York Farm Tour – June
- Garden Tour – July
- Lane Kennedy – August – landscape photography
- Product Photography – September
- Tony Smith – October – aerial photography using drones
- John Jonas – November – Yellowstone photography

For the 48 in 48 fundraiser, Kristine has lined up the following prizes so far:
- For first place, $200 in cash
- Tamron duffel bag
- North Shore Scenic Railway – 4 tickets
- Free mentoring session one on one
- 4 free memberships to our club for next year
The Club discussed the possibility of buying club shirts, probably polo shirts, with the club logo on them so that club members performing volunteer activities in the community can wear them. The idea was a popular one and will be checked into further for costs.
