November Program-‐‑ 3D PSA Stereo Sequence Program presented by Lee Pratt & Andrea Shetley
INSIDE THIS ISSUE:
The HPS Program for November 9, 2015 will be in three dimensions (3D): the 2015 Photographic Society of America (PSA) Stereo Sequence Program. It consists of short sequences of images prepared by a number of photographers from different states and countries. First shown at the PSA Conference in September, this will be the second public presentation. A new digital 3D projection system will be demonstrated. A single 3D projector produces left and right images at rates above 100 times a second. A synchronized electro-‐‑optical crystal then converts the alternate images to left and right circularly polarized images. Ordinary 3D movie glasses are then worn by the viewers. Lee Pratt will present the program. In addition, Andrea Shetley and Lee will show 3D images from their recent trip to the PSA Conference, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton National Parks.

Last month was a photo-‐‑opportunity packed time. There was the annual Scott Kelby Photowalk in Athens, the Camera Club Council of Tennessee’s field trip to Reelfoot Lake and Park in northwest Tennessee, the annual Old Time Fiddler’s Convention at Athens State University in Athens, the AOPA fly-‐‑in in Tullahoma, and the Athens Storytelling Festival. I hope you managed to make it to one or more of those opportunities. Even if you didn’t, the weather was pretty good for most of the month for taking photos. The leaves are turning, so get out and find those colorful spots before the leaves fall.
Larry Perry, from Knoxville, provided our monthly program for October, and he was great, as usual. Larry demonstrated four very affordable photo software products. He used one of them, Pro Show, to show us many of his wildlife photos, along with discussing the techniques he used to capture

the images. Our judge for October’s “Open” competition was Patrick
Oden. Patrick is a local photographer, with street photography his passion, and he has presented and judged for us in the past. I think he is one of our best judges, providing outstanding comments, along with taking the time afterward to give individual critiques to our members. One thing Patrick said in the beginning is that the results are his opinion, colored by his experience and likes. I say this, especially for our new competitors, because we had a great example of just this on competition night; one of our members captured 1st place with an image that did not place with another judge in a previous competition. The lesson here is that you should keep competing, if you’re passionate about your image, because judging is not totally objective. Be sure to check out all the winners on the website gallery and in the newsletter.
Dusty Doddridge will be back this month for a training class on printing. The date is Saturday, November 14th, from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM, at the Dynetics facility. Check the website for sign-‐‑up instructions, a detailed schedule, and directions.
Our program this month will be presented by Lee Pratt and Andrea Shetley on 3D photography. This is always a fascinating program, so don’t miss it.
The November competition topic is “Leaf and Petal.” With the trees turning, there are many opportunities for great shots with a variety of lenses; if you have a macro lens, this is a great topic to use it for.

Arts Council Gallery at VBC The Arts Council gallery at the Von Braun Center is back. They have hired a new person (Tina) to coordinate it. They took down the Panoply art and opened a juried competition exhibit in the gallery this past Friday, and HPS member Don Wolfe has two photos in it. Our connection into this is to support Gold Star Fellows in their exhibit requirement for Masters. For more information, contact the HPS Coordinator, Tom Bryant at [email protected].
