Club Photos Forum

Please note that if you wish to submit any barn images to this forum, you must upload via the "file" icon. Please use the "Barns of Bayfield and Beyond" forum to upload your images.

Before you consider deleting any more images, take a moment to think about whether that photo could be improved in some way. It may involve only a minor tweak here and there to transform your image into something truly awesome. Perhaps something as simple as straightening a horizon, or maybe something with more of an artistic flair. Maybe you already have a great photo and are curious to know how your fellow club members would transform that image. By uploading your images here, you can have the benefit of different PCOB members being able to interpret your potential masterpiece in unique ways. If you wish to upload a "before" image, simply post it here as a file using the icon below with the "up arrow". (6th position) Once you have done that, use the reply button to post the actual picture. This method will allow both the data file and the actual image to be present in the same post. For those members who wish to try their hand at editing, simply download the file to your device. Be as creative and free as you choose. There are no rules to what your interpretation may entail! Once your edit is complete, return to the original posting for that image and use the reply button to add your creation to the mix. (Use the photo icon so your fellow club members can see your work.) Have fun!

PCoB, together with the Bayfield Centre for the Arts (BCA), have initiated a new photography project, not unlike the calendar project, specifically for PCoB members and their friends. The BCA is creating  a Virtual Gallery photo exhibition for launch sometime in August and is looking for contributions from the PCoB.  This is one way of building a partnership with the BCA as we all promote the visual arts in the Bayfield area. Virtual Gallery software has been identified and the visitor will have a life-like Gallery experience. The same Gallery software will be used later in the fall to capture the excitement of the annual Fall Foto Fest Photo exhibition and competition and make it even easier for people to contribute. Here is the idea The artistic challenge is to capture the unique, historical and mystical quality of barns from the past.  Many of these barns are on residential properties in Bayfield and in other small Huron County towns and villages. They are often used as garden sheds, bicycle storage or antique shops ...or left to gather vines and show off the fading  paint of past owners. These buildings have unique stories that can only be told through the  lens of a creative photographer.  We aspire to have you capture these barns in wide shots, close-ups, sun, rain and at all angles, allowing the gallery viewer to see the  story of The Barns of Bayfield and Beyond as a unique collection in an online gallery exhibit for BCA! Full credit will be given to PCoB  for this partnership creation. Unlike for the calendar, there are no restrictions to format and since the exhibition is on-line, any photos larger than 1.5 Mpixels will be accepted. So get out your smartphone as well as your camera…and also search through your archives.  All photos will remain the property of the photographer and full credit will be given for all photos selected. Please submit your name and identification of your photo and add any other information that you would like included to accompany the photo
