12/16/08 -- Christmas Get-Together

We will be attending the 5.55 pm showing of the animated 3D movie Bolt. The show lasts an hour and 36 minutes. But of course there will be previews. The Cinemark University Mall theater is brand new and is located at 1010 South 800 East Orem.

To drive there just get off the interstate at the University Parkway exit and go east. Cross State Street in Orem, and at the next light turn left or north on 800 East in Orem. The theater is a half a block on the left, or west.

Tickets can be purchased on line at https://www.cinemark.com the cost is $8.75 on line, or 7.75 at the theater. You may have to wait a week or two to buy them on line. After the show we will gather at Carrabbas Italian Grill at 683 East University Parkway, and talk of the production. It is at the south side of the Mall and you will pass it on the left it as you drive to the Theater.

PLEASE let me know if you plan to attend! There are currently at least 19 3D movies planned for showing in 2009, so this will be a big year for major motion pictures in stereo. And there are a lot more in production and planned.

11/18/08: ISU Code Show

Stereo Pictures from Around the World

From the International Stereoscopic Union, Code 2 Folio

Our club is a member of the International Stereoscopic Union and is participating for the first time in this group of pictures. Other clubs, with 10 pictures, each are:

Australia – Sydney – Sydney Stereo Camera Club

Australia – Melbourne – Victorian 3D Society

Austria – PHGW

Denmark – Stereoskopklubben

New Zealand – Stereoscopic Society of New Zealand

Poland – Polish Stereo Club

Switzerland – Swiss Society for Stereoscopy

The Netherlands – NVVS

United Kingdom – The Stereoscopic Society

USA – California – Stereo Club of Southern California

USA - DC – Potomac Society of Stereo Photographers

USA – Idaho – Boise Camera Club

USA – Michigan – Detroit Stereographic Society

USA – Minnesota – Minnesota Stereo Photography Club

USA – Oregon – Cascade Stereo Club

USA – Utah – Utah Stereoscopic Society

We are asked to judge these pictures (except for our own). We will be showing the group through first, only mentioning the titles. Then we will go through them again for the judging.

As I have belonged to stereo groups in the past I have often thought of pictures I would like to take, as I see what others have done. My own knowledge about composition has improved as I have seen some of the remarkable pictures from other photographers.

I believe you will enjoy this intimate look at what stereo photographers from around the country and the world feel are pictures worth showing.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Larry Haines, President

10/21/08: Slide Shows by Paul Milligan

The program will include two shows by Paul Milligan entitled "Behind the Rocks" and "Teaching Goldilocks How to Fish". A short business meeting will follow the shows.

09/16/08 Meeting: Competition

Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday evening September 16th at 6.30pm at the usual meeting place, the Provo Library. Please try to be on time since we will be having a stereo picture competition and would like to have your votes!

We have chosen for this competition to show relatively new pictures – those taken this year. We will be awarding points as at the last competition. Pictures can be either film or digital and both types will be projected.

If you plan on digital pictures please send them to me by email several days before the meeting, so that I can get them setup for projecting. Ken Luker will be projecting the film pictures and running the program.

Competition will be held for these subjects:
Best Landscape
Best Human Interest
Best Short Story
Best of Show

These are the subjects we picked in January. We are still small as a group and we will have to see what happens if we can really have competing pictures in each category.

We are committed to send ten slides to the ISA Code program by the end of September and it might be well to choose those pictures at our meeting. We will have an opportunity at a future meeting to project the slides from the other world-wide clubs from this new ISA Code September group.
