How to underscore the message in the image
Theme: THE ART OF VISUAL LANGUAGE
How to underscore the message in the image
Photographers Steve and Nicole Gettle
On the website Steve Gettle describes their presentation's approach:
'One of the greatest things about photography," he writes, "is its ability to communicate something to the viewer. Your images are very powerful tools which have the ability to reach out and touch people, crossing all language and age barriers. Every color, line and shape you choose to include in your final image has an emotional effect on the viewer."
During this presentation, Steve will talk about how all these different elements within the image can more effectively communicate your chosen message to your audience.

ABOUT THE NEW MEETING FORMAT
The next general meetings through November 2020 are to be Zoom meetings and members are encouraged to contact Roland Dumas at radumas@servqual.com or Phil Venable at philven@comcast.net with any questions about Zoom or for assistance with setting it up.
This may change if rules and members’ comfort changes, but it’s the current plan.
*The link to the meetings and a calendar download will be in that month's newsletter so that members can place the reminders and links in their computer/phone calendar. However, these links are for members' use only. They are NOT to be shared or posted to anyone else!
RULES
We are setting the rules on “easy” because we’re a small group and don’t have much risk of someone causing problems, but do pay attention to these rules:
A gentle reminder: if you need to use the bathroom, DO NOT take your device with you. Please!
DATES
Napa Valley Photographic Society's first scheduled Zoom meeting was at 7 p.m. Monday, June 22. Theme: Minute-to-Spin-It

RULES
We are setting the rules on “easy” because we’re a small group and don’t have much risk of someone causing problems, but do pay attention to these rules:
- Do not forward or post the meeting link to anyone at all. If you wish to invite a guest, pass that person’s email to Roland or Phil and we’ll send a one-meeting invitation to them.
- When the meeting starts, set your status as “mute” - that will stop the crosstalk and inadvertent sounds from making things noisy. Only one person can speak at a time.
- If you wish to speak, physically put up your hand and the person leading the discussion will recognize you. Then unmute yourself to ask your question. After that, back onto mute.
- There is a chat function. Find it. When there is a presenter, you can ask your questions during his/her presentation, and the presenter can see it. Your question might be answered immediately or at the end of the presentation, at the presenter’s discretion.
- You can also use the chat function to send a message privately to an individual in the meeting. That’s the same as leaning over and whispering to the person next to you. Just make sure the message is to one person and not the whole group so you don’t embarrass yourself.
A gentle reminder: if you need to use the bathroom, DO NOT take your device with you. Please!
