Girlfriends
The Spring issue of GirlFriends is a great big THANK YOU to our Volunteers. We have been inspired by our Troop Leaders, Fall Product and Cookie Chairs; volunteers from the Hispanic/Latino Task Force, UMOJA Alliance and the Asian Task Force who all do so much for the girls. The Adult Recognitions Ceremony, another way we recognize our Volunteers is highlighted in this issue. Check out some of the upcoming events at Camp and the “Call to Conversation.” Auditions for the Chorus have been announced as well.
We still offer our regular features "Just for Girls," a place for girls to share their Girl Scout stories and "Critical Issues Corner," a great way to stay informed about what happening with girls. Check out the newest offering from the Girl Scouts of Nassau County Shop including our enhanced online store and see if your troop was featured in the "Funding the Fun" photos.
How do I get my Troop photos in GirlFriends?
The Editors of GirlFriends are always looking for great photos of Girl Scouts at work or play. To submit a photo you may email it to franzenj@gsnc.org with the following information:
* Caption explaining the activity
* Troop Number
* Association Name
* Girl Scout Level
All photos must be jpg’s attached to your email. We can't accept photos embedded in an email or slide show from a third party processor.
What makes a good picture?
* Align yourself with object/person…try interesting angles
* Even if you don't want to necessarily take a close up, be close up to object – better for lighting and it will come out clearer
* Candid shots are more appealing than pictures that were set up
* Take photos of people that are not stationary, but rather in angles (example – arm across a notebook, or someone's hand being raised, or someone's head cocked as if they are listening intently.)
* Make pictures diversified – not just of people from different ethnicities, but different hair color or different colored shirts.
* Background in picture is just as important as your object (never imply that an auditorium is empty, take pictures where people fill up rows. Murals, a clean desk, a globe, a calendar are all nice images.)
