FPC member Ilene Meyers will be doing a presentation on her Drone Photography. Many of you have seen examples of Ilene’s drone images over the last couple of month’s meetings. Ilene Meyers was recently awarded a “Judge’s Choice” award in the North American Nature Photography Association’s 2025 Showcase for one of her drone images. If you want to see Ilene’s award-winning image you can view it here – https://nanpa.org/2025-showcase-winners/#scapes under the 2025 ‘Scapes Category.

Annual Year-end Competition

The Flatirons Photo Club will be holding our annual year-end competition at the December meeting on Thursday, December 12th, at 7:00 PM. As is usual, we will hold the meeting in person at the Frasier Retirement Community Theater at 350 Ponca Place in Boulder and via Zoom.

Darin Reed will be our judge. Darin is a Long Island (NY) based professional photographer. His lifelong passion for the art has led him down a variety of photographic paths. From the simple and timeless family photographs many of us begin with, to sports, dance, travel, landscape, event, nature, and photographic philanthropy, he’s done, and loved it all! Darin is a long-time member, and two-time President, of the Huntington Camera Club. He is a member of Nikon Professional Services, a member of the Professional Photographers of America, and a workshop instructor at Crossroads Photographic Workshops. He teaches photography to children who have cancer and their siblings, at the Sunrise Day Camp. He is the “Official Photographer” for the Huntington School District and is also a long-time contributor to the Huntington Arts Council, covering their Summer Arts Series of shows and concerts. Photography has been the steady and happy drumbeat of Darin’s life. He is thrilled to be behind his camera but is equally happy to share the knowledge he’s gained with his fellow photographers, to help them capture compelling, storytelling images! Darin believes helping others with their photography, or through his own photography, is one of life’s great joys!

A Zoom link to the meeting will be emailed in advance to members and interested non-members. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please send an email to flatirons[at]flatironsphotoclub.org with the subject line ‘Mailing list’.

We will have only digital entries in the following categories:
C: Open: traditional style images without obvious creative filters.
B: Nature/Wildlife: also traditional style, but no human or human made content
D: Creative Special Effects: images that begin with the maker’s photograph, but have special effects applied in digital post-processing. For example, they may look painterly, abstracted, or non-photographic. It is photographic based digital art.
E: Black & White: traditional style images that are rendered in black & white

We will have 1st, 2nd, 3rd and honorable mention(s) awards in each category.
Plus one overall “best in show” winner. There are no physical awards or ribbons, but of course the winners will be posted on our website.

Please come early to socialize!
