October President’s Message – Kevallyn Paskos
2012
Dear NCPP, Fall is in the air! This is the most amazing time of year and can’t wait for the full Halloween festivities. Trick or treat takes on a special meaning with the little ones and dressing up brings out the kid in all of us. Hope you enjoy your traditions during this special time of year. September Guest Speaker – San Francisco Bay Area photographer Vijay Rakhra has found a way to double his bookings and has seen increased studio sales by offering cinematic services in addition to stills. Vijay Rakhra is a Photographer and Filmmaker in the San Francisco Bay Area. His studio, which offers both Wedding Documentary Photography and Cinema, is sought after for their work at Indian weddings throughout California. Vijay shared his experiences with Indian weddings and shooting both photo and video as a single team. Newer technologies now allow for the convergence of photo and video. Vijay was inspiring in teaching us ways to differentiate ourselves in the market. Print Competition - Congratulations goes to…1st Place – Michael Malerba - “Forgotten Pier” and 2nd Place – Denny Weigand – “One Man Firehouse” and 3rd Place – Lily Dong – “Precious”. Super job to these artists who submitted images! I have challenged the entire board team and membership to submit one image each month. This is a great way to participate and add value to our organization and get involved! We look forward to seeing your images in October. NCPP’s New Board Member Team – The board has a dedicated group of individuals all passionate about our organization. It is an honor and learning experience to work with this new team. We are eager to begin implementing our new ideas and provide an exceptional experience to our membership. Suggestion Box – NCPP members submitted many surveys for us to review. We have a better understanding of present levels of needs and expectations. The board takes these survey results very serious and we are ready to get to work. NCPP is a special organization and has plans for a great future. We are so fortunate to have a strong board team and valued members. We have some great speakers lined up through 2013 so make sure you stay current with Focal Point, NCPP website, NorCal Meetup group and our Facebook page! Warm regards, Kevallyn However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. Sir Winston Churchill

NCPP Proudly Presents October 11, 2012 – Michael Van Auken “Lifestyles of the Almost Famous" is designed to inspire the portrait photographer to go beyond the "hi here we are" type of portrait. While no single image can tell us everything about an individual, a portrait should capture something real, something that allows the viewer to catch a glimpse of who the subject is, what they’re like, or what they like to do. A portrait is more than just a smile; it should tell us something about the people we photograph. Building rapport, using props, finding interesting environments and enhancing the mood with controlled lighting will be discussed as well as demonstrated in this entertaining and educational presentation. MVA BIO
Michael Van Auken has been recording the history of people's lives for more than thirty years. MVA is accomplished in the art of photojournalism, portraiture, pictorial photography and is fluent in Photoshop. After many years of running a successful photography studio in Pleasant Hill, in 2002 he joined Cantrell Portrait Design as senior associate photographer where he specializes in family portraits and special event photography. Since then he has become the director of marketing. MVA is a founding member of both Northern California Professional Photographers and California Photographic Workshops. He was the inaugural president of NCPP in 1998 and currently serves on the board of directors. He has presented numerous educational programs for professional photography associations including The Wedding and Portrait Photographers International in Las Vegas (WPPI) and the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers in the United Kingdom. In 2007 MVA was awarded one of the top album awards from WPPI. He received NCPP’s Print of the Year in 2006 and was named Photographer of the Year in 2007. MVA is dedicated to providing impeccable service and quality photographs. His personal mission, and marketing catch phrase, is “making sure you look great and have fun in the process.”

Preparing your image for "Projected" Image Comp This article will remain permanently in the Focal Point.
2012
Here are the basics for creating your "Projected Image" file. We will be setting the file type, dimensions, color space, jpg quality, pixels per inch and file name that that will qualify for NCPP Projected Image Comp. These requirements are the same as PPA with the exception in NOTE 2 below. 1. Create a file that will become the background for your image that is 4,000px Wide x 2,200px High @ 200 pixels per inch. (20" x 11") This size fits our monitor and will be displayed at its optimal. 2. The color space can be sRGB or RGB1998. 3. The file type is a jpg with a Quality setting of 10. Total file size not to exceed 3.5mb. 4. You can apply a color or pattern to this layer just as you would do for a printed image that you would have entered previously in print comp. 5. Next prepare the image that you are going to insert over the background. The color space, ppi etc needs to be the same as your background layer. 6. Size the image as you wish in either a vertical or horizontal format. The image size must be at least 80 square inches. An example is 8" x 10". The image may be placed anywhere you want to put it on the background layer. The positioning of the image on the background layer will be part of your "Presentation" score just like with Printed print comp. 7. Add a stroke or any other edge treatment to the edge of the image you want, or not. 8. All images will be shown only with the background in the "Horizontal Format". This is the same way that PPA is handling it. The monitor will not be rotated for vertical images. They will be shown just like the example images on the previous page. 9. There is to be no photographer name or studio name on the image. 10. Name your file with the following convention: • Member's First Name_Last Name_Image_Title_.jpg (Use _ for spaces). • Example file name: Bill_Jones_Mount_Diablo_Sunset.jpg 11. More information for download or viewing at. NOTE 1: If you plan to submit any of these images to PPA, I would initially save this file as a layered PSD or TIFF. When I was done and ready to submit to NCPP, I would then save it again as a jpg with all of the requirements listed above and submit the jpg. This way if you later decide to enter this same image with PPA or re-enter with NCPP, you can open your PSD/TIFF and make any changes you want. NOTE 2: PPA Projected Submission Specifications match what is required for NCPP, except: • PPA requires your PPA# in place of your name in the file name: Example: 12345_Mount_Diablo_Sunset.jpg • Link to the PPA site for a video on “How To”: http://www.ppa.com/competitions/tutorials.php ENTRY RULES AND DEADLINES: • Cost per each image is $5.00 prior to Wednesday, (at midnight), prior to the Thursday meeting. Fee is to be paid via the NCPP PayPal link. E-mail images to mailto:mnslight@sbcglobal.net Limit of 20 Projected images allowed per meeting. This is at the discretion of the Print Chair on a month by month basis.

1st Place: “Forgotten Pier” - by Michael Malerba This image is from my 2009 Water Front Series in Benicia. At that time I was trying to capture everyday places and objects in my cool little hometown that were overlooked every day. Like many old cities there is an abundance of fragmented historic significance, including industrial eras that have been long since forgotten. These locations are rich in surface history and texture that are magnetic and inspiring to me as a photographer. This image ‘Forgotten Pier’ was compiled of three exposures (-1, 0 +1) just before sunset on May 16th, 2009. Michael

2nd place: “One Man Firehouse” by: Denny Weigand
"I was surprised and pleased to receive recognition of my image “one-man firehouse”. I shot this image at Gold Point, a small mining ghost town outside of Death Valley. I used an infrared body that I had converted, and subsequently converted the image into black and white in post process. I find that infrared is particularly applicable when you have an angry sky. In this case the sky was certainly angry and made interesting patterns in the image. The town of Gold Point is in the middle of nowhere, but offers a very funky view of the town gone to disrepair. The proprietors have “remodeled” the town in a manner that is reminiscent of Bodie but a lot easier to get to. Photographically it was a delight! We stayed overnight in a room, if you can call it that, that have the entire ambience of a ghost town. I highly recommend it!” Denny

3nd place: “Precious� by: Lily Dong
'Precious' was taken at my most recent newborn shoot. This was the first baby for my client. Because it is new for her, she held the baby like it was a Faberge egg, and the way her hand cradled the baby's head showed her love without any words. She was short on sleep, but full on love. Lily
