President’s Message
2020 was a most unusual year for each of us individually, for our
families and friends, our neighbors, our nation. The Coronavirus
pandemic transformed the world, changed our lifestyle. Many of us are
not venturing far from our homes and are seeing our children and
grandchildren only on computer screens. There is no travel, no family
celebrations, no meetings in person and no field trips.
Nonetheless, CVCC has found a way to stay engaged, exchange
information and pursue our passion in photography. During this time
Chagrin Valley camera Club has welcomed several new members,
some of them even from out of state.
We enjoyed excellent presentations delivered by our own members
-Skip Kremer and Graham Stead.
Difficult circumstances created exciting opportunities to connect
with renowned photographers from all over the world. These great
speakers were sources of fresh ideas and inspiration. Our presenters
delivered their lectures from California, New Jersey, Michigan and UK.
Chagrin Valley Camera Club members had several outstanding
meetings dedicated to different genres in photography. Our
Photojournalism session was dedicated to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Architectural photography of St. Theodosius Cathedral was an amazing
display of styles and talent by CVCC members. Our Landscape images
were critiqued by internationally renowned photographer Kah Wai-Lin.

A “Caught in Motion” Nature photography session followed, with a
presentation by Steve Gettle. And CVCC members explored Abstract
photography with Lisa Langell as well.
The People’s Choice Competition, one of Chagrin Valley Camera
Club’s most popular events, was a success thanks to the efforts of the
Competition Chair Irv Kaplan.
The CVCC Bulletin is published monthly, thanks to the
continuing efforts of our editor, Teresa Gutierrez and many
contributing members.
I encourage you to take advantage of these new opportunities
for photography, participate in club activities, contribute, share and
collaborate.
I wish everyone Health and Happiness in the 2021 New Year!

People’s Choice
November/December, 2020
The Making of a Competition
We asked voters to submit their two favorite photos. We counted
all votes and selected first, second and third place by vote totals.
We had 34 entrants with 66 photos displayed online.
1st ~ Marina Neyman’s ‘Sandhill Crane’ is the winner with 10 votes.
2nd ~ Ken Weiss was second with 8 votes for ‘Bow Lake’.
3rd ~ Morris Burke was third with 7 votes for ‘Days of Yore’.
Congratulations to all!!
We had a very interesting distribution of votes with
Errol Bellon
37 photos ~ Crested
receiving at leastButte, Colorado
one vote.
19 photos with 1 vote
5 photos with 2 votes
5 photos with 3 votes
3 photos with 4 votes
2 photos with 5 votes
I think this reflects the wide breadth of photographic interests that CVCC
enjoys. People judge photos on composition, subject, creativity, and
digital darkroom skill along with many other criteria.
I hope we continue to attract this wide range of interests.

Tuesday. January 19, 7PM 8:30pm, ZOOM Virtual meeting
“Lightroom in a Different Light”
For years now people have taken my Lightroom™ classes to learn the basics of
Lightroom™, my sorting and selection process and more advanced
techniques for editing. But many have felt that they wanted more.
They wanted a glimpse into my style of editing, the thoughts
behind why I chose to move that slider or how to view that image
in a different light. The concepts behind a distinct directive editing
choice and just trying different things until they got something.
So, I developed this online class with that in mind.
To do this, I will be asking attendees to submit images of their making, and I will be
choosing images from your submissions to develop live in the class. You will be able to
follow along in the process that I do with every image, ask questions and see what I would
do to enhance and sometimes transmogrify the image into something you may never have
thought about.
Submitting images:
By January 12th, send 1 raw format file to Marina marinaneymanphoto@gmail.com.
Each file must be named as follows: Lastname.Firstname_Title.ext (use the extension
for your camera Files not named properly will not be accepted.

About Doug
Doug has been shooting professionally and with distinction for over 40 years. His creative ap-
proach to photography, coupled with his ability to see and capture light, permeates his im-
pressive body of work. His work has been on display in galleries in New York City, Washing-
ton DC Smithsonian, Buffalo, PA and Toronto, including the world-famous
Ontario Art Gallery.
And can also be seen in dozens of magazines and throughout the web on commercial sites.
(Add links here) He has received numerous national and international awards including the
Kodak award for
image excellence. Through his constant search for the very best technology, new techniques
and tools, evolving styles, and an idealistic view of the world, Doug has become a sought-
after educator.
Photographers look to him to expand their knowledge, increase their sense of light, create
that which the camera is incapable of perceiving, and explore the world as an artist. Doug
has taught at professional photography seminars throughout the United States and Canada.
He teaches classes in Adobe® Photoshop® and Lightroom®, post
production applications, high dynamic range,
painter, and studio portraiture.
In exploring Doug’s work, you will surely see—and feel—the emotion and passion that he
captures in every image. He often says that if an image does not exude passion and does not
evoke a sense of delight, sorrow, sadness, happiness, or desire, the image lacks the ability to
be a sustainable work of art.

Welcome to our new members

Bubbles Sunset in Beachwood
From Margaret:
I live in Beachwood and love macrophotography, reflections, and anything that
catches my eye. Bubbles was a shot of bubbles left in a bowl overnight in the
kitchen sink with a sink liner that caused the black lines. Sunset in Beachwood was
taken last week when I looked out the front door and saw an orange sunset. I just
ran out and shot the photo with my cellphone before the sun disappeared.

unusual lighting and perspectives.
