The Sioux City Camera Club has scheduled a birding workshop with Nature photographer Don Poggensee for Saturday, Nov. 19th. Members will travel to Ida Grove and meet at Moorhead Park at 8 a.m. YES, 8 a.m. MORNING. It’s roughly an hour’s drive there via Hwy 20 and then Hwy 59. Don is going to spend half a day with club members giving us tips about shooting nature and hopefully some migratory birds in the area. Unless there is a blizzard or heavy rainfall, the workshop is on. There is always something to photograph. We are asking those members attending the workshop to kick in $10/each to compensate Don for his time. It’s only fair. Doug and Carey will discuss the outing at this week’s club meeting. A sign up sheet is available online. Click Here to Sign-up. Here's a little something about Don. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7dRttl--e0

Starting this Thursday, October 13th, the Sioux City Camera Club will begin another monthly View and Review session. It has been tried at various times with mixed results, but this time there will be an incentive. For those that participate a name will be drawn for a door prize. Only those that submit a View and Review image is eligible and if your name is drawn you must be present to claim your prize. This is not a contest. It is provided for those that aren’t interested in entering our monthly contests or don’t feel they’re quite ready for that yet, of course those that do enter our monthly contests are welcome as well. The whole purpose of this is to simply help members that want to improve their photography skills by asking questions and getting useful tips from other members feedback. The View and Review will be held at our first meeting each month (2nd Thursday of the month) and here’s how it will work:
Be prepared to explain how your image connects with the theme, what you like about it and ask if you would like to hear any feedback. That’s all there is to it. This month’s theme is Summer so get those images in no later than 5:00 pm tomorrow (Wednesday), October 12th. Here’s a link to our website calendar https://www.siouxcitycameraclub.com/calendar

Nicoll’s introduction to the Club goes back 50 years to May 1972, when he attended the banquet at the Normandy Restaurant as the guest of Kevin Martin. He became a Club member in September of that year. Nicolls served extensively as an officer in the Club: VP in 1978 and 1979, President in 1980 and 1981, and Treasurer from 1982 to 1988 (doing double duty as Program Chair from 1982 to 1985). A second tenure as President followed in 1989 and 1990. Nicolls twice served as chair of N4C conventions hosted in Siouxland, in 1984 with Randy Williams and in 2000. In 2000–2001, he was President of N4C, and in 2004, he received N4C’s Founders Award. Hardy is also a past president (1986 and 1987) of the Club, but most members know him best for his current essential role in so many Club and N4C
End-of-year awards were also presented at the banquet. Mitch Keller received four end-of-year awards for his digital and print photographs. Douglas Conrad received three awards. Denis Hirschman received two end-of-year awards. Ron Nicolls, Teresa Hebert, and Lucas Harbeck received one award each. Douglas Conrad was named the advanced level Photographer of the Year, and Denis Hirschman was named the entry level Photographer of the Year.
