President's Comments
Welcome,
We appreciate your interest in the Shreveport Photographic Society and invite you to meet with us to see if what we do will be something that you will enjoy. Sometimes we talk gear, but mostly we are about good photography and creating great images.
This page will contain information about what we will be doing next and where we will be doing it. We all learn together and mostly, we have fun.
Hope to see you soon,
Dwayne Anders, President

Our Next Competition
Our next competition night will be Thursday, February 11th, 6:30PM at the Bossier Arts Council, 630 Barksdale Blvd, Bossier City, La 71111
COMPETITION RULES FOR NEW MEMBER CATEGORY
(New for 2010)
1. Any new member joining the club may choose to be in the new member/beginner category for print competition or in the competition with existing members.
2. New members choosing to be in the new member category may opt to leave the new member/beginner competition and join the regular member competition at any time.
3. A new member may stay in the beginner category until they get a combined total of 300 points from all of their scored prints. They must then graduate to the regular print competition.
4. All prints entered into the new member/beginner competition must stay in that category for separate annual judging and awards and cannot be entered into the regular competition. Once a new member leaves the beginner category, by choice or by points, all future prints will go toward annual competition in the regular print competition. This may happen at any time but the choice must be made before the current months judging and once out of the beginner competition the beginner must stay in regular print competition.
5. A separate committee of 3 will be appointed by the President and 2nd V.P., Competition Chairperson, to judge this category for annual competition.
COMPETITION THEMES
(New for 2010)
After doing some research on the subject Ouida Salter and I have decided that we'd like to introduce monthly competition themes with a different theme for every month. Ouida and I have challenged ourselves to each enter a print based on the theme for that month and we want to extend an invitation to everyone else in the club to join us; to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and photograph something you are not familiar with.
