Our field trip this month will be to Venice Beach on Saturday-September 23rd. The people on the board-walk will provide us with quite interesting photo opportunities. The September shooting assignment will be “Faces” (apropos for this field trip). Because of limited parking spaces and fees in the Venice Beach area, you’re encouraged to carpool from the HB Total Wine parking lot at Beach & Stark. We’ll meet at 8:30 am. See the field trip and shooting assignment write-ups in the newsletter. Jon Lorentz will be giving a special LENS presentation on “Composition, Seeing and Making an Im-pact” exclusively to PSOC members on Tuesday-September 12th at the Canon Learning Center in Costa Mesa. We have over 45 members signed up. Jon is asking our members who plan to attend the presenta-tion to bring one photo on a thumb drive (optional) so he can critique it. It should be fun! Images from our August field trip to San Juan Capistrano and shooting assignment “Unusual Perspec-tives” will be shown at our September 28th monthly meeting. Barry Evans will be our guest critiquer. He’s Equipment Manager at Samy’s Camera in Santa Ana.

Marxist Revolutionary Che Guevara in Havana
On March 5, 1960, Cuban fashion photographer turned photo-
journalist Alberto Korda took this image of the 31-year-old
Marxist revolutionary at a memorial service in Havana for vic-
tims of a munitions ship, La Coubre, which had exploded in the
city’s harbor the previous day. Fidel Castro quickly blamed the
U.S. for the blast, which killed at least 75 people and injured several hundred others, although the exact
cause never was determined. After the La Coubre memorial service, the newspaper Korda worked for,
“Revolucion,” ran pictures of Castro and other dignitaries and rejected the photo of Guevara. The pic-
ture appeared in various publications in Cuba and Europe in the ensuing years but drew little notice. In
1967, Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, a left-wing Italian publisher who was interested in Guevara, learned
about the photo while on a visit to Cuba and was given a free copy by Korda. After the Argentine-born
Guevara was captured and killed by soldiers in Bolivia later that same year, Feltrinelli distributed post-
ers using Korda’s photo, dubbed “Guerrillero Heroico” (Heroic Guerilla), and the image soon spread
around the world, becoming a symbol of revolution and youthful rebellion. It has since become one of
the most widely reproduced images in history, showing up on everything from murals to beer bottles.

Assignment to be shown at the September 28, 2017 meeting By Mike Whitmore Think of the usual perspectives that you see in most photographs when you look into your viewfinder this month and then think about how to create a very different and interesting per-spective from which to shoot. Consider a different and more unique way to see your subject. This could be simply getting your camera down to ground level and looking up. It might be to get high and look down or to get close with a wide-angle lens and distort the perspective. Here is a list of possibilities to get your thinking started: Get low Get high View through something Get very close Distort wide angle Use a reflection Shoot from behind Underneath Above looking down Exaggerate details Tilt horizontal Superimpose something near and far These and many other techniques can be used by just moving around a little before snapping the picture. Other possibilities might include creative post-processing your image to combine two or more images to make an artful perspective deception. The August field trip to San Juan Capistrano will provide lots of opportunities for exercising your imagination for perspectives. Take some time after each shot to think about how you might shoot “other” perspectives of the same image.
Have some fun getting outside the nine dots this month. Linger for awhile when you find an interesting subject and consider as many different perspectives as may come to mind. Here are a few examples that I have taken.

September Field Trip
Venice Beach
Date: Saturday Sept. 23, 2017
ASSIGNMENT: Faces
CARPOOL: Leave at 8:30 am from the Total Wine parking lot at 16272 Beach Blvd., Huntington Beach (SE corner of Beach and Stark). It should take about an hour depending on traffic, which should be light on a Sat-urday morning.
DIRECTIONS & PARKING: Take the I-405 north to the 90 west. Right on PCH and then turn left on Wash-ington Blvd, and it will take you to the beach area.
PARKING: Parking is readily available in the area. There are city parking lots located right next to the beach. Daily rates range from $4 to $15 depending upon the time of year. These lots are within walking distance to the Venice Boardwalk, beach, shops, and dining. There are also several beach adjacent private parking lots near Windward Ave., Venice Blvd and Rose Ave. These private lots can cost as much as $25 per day. On weekends, additional parking is available at Westminster Elementary School. Enter on Main Street and park for only $5. This is an excellent place to park if you are going to the beach, or shopping on antique shopping on Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Additional Abbot Kinney parking may be found in several lots along Electric Ave-nue – one street East of Abbot Kinney Boulevard.
LUNCH: 12:30 Meet at Larry's 24 Windward Ave, Venice. It is located very near the boardwalk, which means
you will be able to park one time in the morning and stay there for the day.

The World famous Venice Beach Boardwalk is not to be missed. It is considered Southern California’s num-ber one visitor attraction. Stretching about one and a half miles along the manicured sands of the Pacific Ocean, the boardwalk is a large part of what makes Venice unique. On the west side of the “walk” are hun-dreds of street vendors and performers. You can see everything from break-dancing to broken glass walking. Mimes to musicians, jugglers to jesters and everything in between make up the human landscape. In other words, many photo opportunities for this months assignment, faces. Most are happy to have their pictures taken, but be sure to bring along lots of dollar bills as they will expect payment.
Located steps from the sand on Venice Beach Boardwalk, Muscle Beach Gym is one of the treasures of Ven-ice. Once the home gym of bodybuilders Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno, the newly outfitted facili-ty still serves the community as the only outdoor weight room around.
There is also a great skatepark on the beach which draws all ages of skaters to try their hand at one of the country's best arenas. Not to mention the basketball courts as well as the surfers in the water to try out and practice your skills as a sports photographer. You will also find an area where they allow graffiti artists to practice their craft with graffiti laden trees and walls.
Between the ocean, the characters on the boardwalk, Muscle Beach, graffiti, basketball courts, buildings, and the canals, there are many, many opportunities to make images around the Venice Beach area.

Assignment to be shown at the October 26, 2017 meeting
By Frank Oliveri
Faces are fascinating. We are all drawn to images of an expressive face. Emotion is communicated by facial expression in sometimes very subtle ways. Our challenge, as photographers, is to capture these fleeting expressions. There are a few technical considerations that may help, but a picture does not have to be technically perfect to have a significant impact on the viewer. A lens in the range of 70mm to 200mm works well to keep the perspective from being distorted. Be-ing too close and using wider-angle lenses can result in distortions of facial features. It is most important to make certain that the eyes are in sharp focus. Try to get a catch light in the eyes. Pay attention to the background to avoid distractions, such as a sign post rising out of the subject’s head. Use wider apertures to control depth of field and throw the background out of focus. Light is always an important consideration. To keep it simple outdoors, avoid harsh light. Place your subject in the shade and avoid having harsh highlights in the background. Light direction is im-portant, and for young women and children, a flatter source of light is better that harsh side light. In-direct window light works very well indoors. For older men and women, a side light will emphasize the character lines in their face and the emo-tional expressions. Older men with beards make good subjects, but choose a smaller aperture to be certain that the eyes and the beard are in sharp focus. Here are some ideas that might help you plan your shooting:
1. Look for some kind of emotion in the face. A good example is the
famous portrait of
Winston Churchill by Yousuf Karsh of Ottawa. Winston kept Putting the cigar in his mouth even when asked to remove it. Finally, Karsh kept one hand on the shutter release and snatched the cigar from Winston’s mouth. The resulting angry scowl on Winston’s face became the most famous portrait ever taken of him.
2. Avoid the “say cheese” technique. Just talking and letting your subject relax and be natural works best. Spend some time to develop a feeling of relaxation and trust before shooting. 3. If you can determine and talk about your subject’s likes and dislikes, concerns and issues they feel passionate about, you may be able to obtain an emotional expression rather than a bland or forced expression. Impact comes when the viewer of the picture applies their own interpretation of the emotion.
SEPTEMBER 2017 ASSIGNMENT - FACES
Page 13
P S O C N E W S
4. Tell a story with your picture. A tearful expression has great impact, whether from sadness or joy.
5. Sometimes a group of faces showing variations of the same emotion can be very powerful. Like-wise, two people looking into each other’s eyes can have tremendous impact.
Here are some examples of faces from my files. As the artist, this assignment can be approached any way you choose. You can photograph faces of people, animals, and even inanimate objects. There is a concept called “perceived faces” where psychologists say we recognize facial features in inanimate objects. Think faces on rock formations, faces in clouds, and the Man in the Moon.
Have some fun exercising your creativity and sensitivity as you photograph this assignment!

OVERVIEW
There are definitely a lot of wild animals running loose in Los Angeles (bears, coyotes, mountain lions, movie produc-ers)! However, there are only a handful of places you can visit and safely view them.
The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens is a 133-acre zoo opened in 1966. The zoo is home to more than 1,100 mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles representing more than 250 different species of which 29 are endangered.
One of the newest members of the zoo family is Buddy, a 700-pound male sea lion around 10 years of age who has come to the zoo after being rescued and rehabilitated by the Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles (MMCC LA). He was discovered in Manhattan Beach in 2016, malnourished and blind. Staff at MMCC LA were able to rescue and reha-bilitate him until it was time to find him a permanent home. That's when the Los Angeles Zoo stepped in." Buddy is a crowd favorite!
In addition to the animals, the zoo’s botanical collection comprises several planted gardens and more than 800 different plant species with over 7,400 individual plants. There are vital connections between the fauna and the flora. The plants that provide food, shade, and even entertainment are every bit as important as the animals—a fact that is as crucial in the wild as it is in the zoo. Plants are organized and arranged based on their indigenous locations. They are then matched to the various regions within the zoo – Africa, South America, North America and so on. Like the zoo’s animals, plants are thus grouped by their native habitats.
Here’s a tip for people who love plants: the cycad garden at the front of the zoo contains some of the world’s oldest plant species – so valuable that they contain GPS chips to prevent theft. “Everybody walks past them,” says zoo educator Stacey Hagreen, “but these are the exact plants that dinosaurs ate.”
NOTE: If you have time, you can also visit the Autry Museum of the American West right across the parking
lot from the LA Zoo.

OCTOBER 2017 ASSIGNMENT – NATURE (FAUNA)
Assignment to be shown at the November 16, 2017 meeting
By Frank Oliveri Lets start with a definition. What is fauna? Fauna can refer to the animal life or classification of animals of a certain region, time period, or environment. So there you have it. Pick a region and start shooting. Bolsa Chica wetlands, any regional park, your backyard, or if you have megabucks, the Serengeti Plains of Africa. The name of the game in wildlife photography is patience, whether you’re trying to capture a herd of ele-phants on the Serengeti Plains or squirrels in your backyard. Wild animals are going to do what they’re going to do. Unfortunately, you can’t ask them to look this way, do something cute, or stand where the light is better. You have to be there, and be ready, when they decide to look cute or do something interesting. Be prepared to wait, and wait, and wait—it takes a long time to get good wildlife shots, even longer to make great ones. But it’s not wasted time. The longer you spend with an animal or a group of animals, the bet-ter you get to know them and their habits. You get to see the personalities of different individ-uals, and you’ll get to the point where you can anticipate what they might do at a particular time of day or in a certain situation. And, as is true of all kinds of photography, the more time you spend with your subjects, the more likely your images will be intimate and revealing. You know them better, and it shows. Animals have personalities, and you want to show that. But you don’t want to be working re-ally tight with long lenses all the time. You sometimes might want to show their environment too—habitat says a lot. Back off and try using wide-angle lenses to give viewers a sense of where the fauna live. Looking down on animals from human-height gives them less importance, so it is vital to treat your subjects as equals by getting down to their eye-level or even lower. Most people view amphibians and reptiles from above, so looking them straight in the eye immediately establishes a degree of intimacy and offers a fresh perspective, unless it’s a rattlesnake or a crocodile! Show fauna doing something interesting like singing, flying, hunting, frolicking. Or show their personalities – growling lion, menacing teeth, wide eyes, motherly love, etc. And don’t forget the eyes. Whenever you see eyes, make them the focal point. Get them sharp. And position yourself so you catch highlights in the eyes.
Page 17

OCTOBER 2017 ASSIGNMENT – NATURE (FAUNA)
As it is with all photographic subjects, light is critical. Side or back lighting and morning or afternoon light is preferable. Don’t be afraid to use flash. Many wildlife photographers shy away from flash, but when photographing amphibians and reptiles, even in bright sunlight, it’s often necessary to use one or two flashguns. These help to fill in the shadows, create highlights in the eyes, and, by increasing depth of field, enhance the sharpness of the entire image. The trick is to balance your flash with the ambient light to make it look natural. Gear and Stuff Telephoto lenses are a must for wildlife photography - how long depends on how close you can get and on the size of your subject. Birds, small and flighty, need really very long lenses. So do animals that are shy. For these, use a 400mm or 600mm, though these lenses are big, heavy, and not a lot of fun to lug around. It’s not a great problem when shooting from a car, but if you’re hiking, the use of a teleconverter on a 300mm might just be the ticket. They’re small and light, come in different degrees of magnification, and greatly in-crease the reach of your lenses. The downside is that image resolution is not quite as good and you lose some stops of light, but your back and shoulders are a lot happier. Remember: The longer the lens, the more susceptible you are to camera movement - with really exceptionally long lenses, even the slightest motion can cause blur. Use a tripod as often as you can. Try to use as fast a shutter speed as possible, taking into account what kind of depth of field you want. If you don’t have extra-long focal length lenses, and you want to get “close,” you’ll end up doing some post production cropping which does degrade the overall image quality. Summing Up
1. Be patient 2. Get as close as possible (give venomous reptiles plenty of leeway and respect) 3. Wait for the best light 4. Show fauna in an active state, or showing their personality. 5. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Shoot, shoot, shoot, but only show your best shots.
Now get out there and have some fun!
