Welcome to the Cincinnati Parks Krohn Conservatory 2024 Butterfly Show, Butterflies In Space Photography Night! Photographers and tripods welcome! Come get some great shots of our butterflies! This is intended for adults only (18+).
The 2024 Butterfly Show is inspired by the story of the caterpillars and butterflies taken to the International Space Station in 2009, where they successfully adapted to a zero-gravity environment and became known as “astro-pillars” and “butter-nauts”. Visit Krohn Conservatory’s Butterflies in Space! and learn about the innovative ways butterflies and plants lived high above the planet. We have created a galactic landscape of blossoming plants and beautiful butterflies for you to enjoy.

LATE PARKING UPDATE (6/18/19) The 2019 Air Show has implemented our alternate parking plan. All parking will be on paved lots for the 2019 show. Heavy rains have made the field parking normally used by the air show for spectator parking unusable. The show in cooperation with the Dayton International Airport and police agencies has developed an Alternate Parking plan for Saturday and Sunday’s show that will place all spectator vehicles on paved lots.
The former Emery/UPS Freight Facility located on Old Springfield Road north of the airport will be used as the Alternate Parking site. All spectator parking including General Admission, P-Lot and VIP will be directed to the Alternate Parking site. 60 large shuttle buses have been retained to conveniently shuttle spectators to and from the show grounds on an Express route inside the airport perimeter.
BEST AND QUICKEST ROUTE The quickest way to get to the Alternate Parking Site is to use Exit 32 (Airport Access Road) off I-70. Simply follow the digital signs that will direct guests west on W National Road, north on Dog Leg Road and east on Old Springfield Rd. Guests can also us Exit 64 (Northwoods Boulevard) off I-75 and follow signs but this will be a slower route due to Dixie Highway narrowing to a single-lane which backs up traffic similar to a lane closure on a major highway. Access will also be much quicker for spectators that come early or prior to 10:00 am. ARRIVE EARLY TO AVOID HEAVY TRAFFIC
Event Description – For those aficionados of all things aircraft this is the premier event in the region. Once again the Dayton Air Show will be two days, pick whether you want to attend Saturday or Sunday, or both. The USAF Thunderbirds will be the marquee show of the event this year.
The Photographer Pit (Venue #1 below) provides exclusive access including near-the-airfield ‘media’ parking and early entrance both days at 7 am to photograph the static aircraft on the tarmac prior to general admittance crowds entering. If you do this be there at 7 am when they unlock the gate near the media parking (since they re-lock it after letting people in).
Static Aircraft Tour begins at 7:00 AM and concludes at 9:00 AM
Receive media parking pass
Cost: $50 + fee per day/$80 + fee for both days
Exclusive photography area on the flight line during the show
Water to be provided all day

June Meeting: Abstracts/Patterns/Lines and Review Of Tom Croce’s Images
TOPIC: ABSTRACT, TEXTURES OR LINES. CRITIQUER: TOM CROCE In an abstract image the subject is usually only a portion of the image or idea. Viewers likely will only know the essence of the subject by what is implied. An abstract image draws a viewer inward by the interest, uniqueness or beauty of the image. Pattern photography uses repeating elements – shapes, tones, lines or color. A strong way to improve composition is through the use of lines. Also lines lead the viewer through the image. By affecting mood, lines add emotional content to images.
INSTRUCTIONS: Upload up to 3 images per requirements below to: http://ovcc.smugmug.com/upload/5pbcWM/ovcckey
We are asking all to chip in to help defray the cost of our appreciation gift to our speakers. A great way for all photography skill levels to learn how to improve, along with having a great time.
INSTRUCTIONS: DO NOT UPLOAD MORE THAN ONE IMAGE AT A TIME Prepare your file for upload to the OVCC Critique site by following these procedures: Members may submit up to three images in JPEG FORMAT. • Depending on quantity of images submitted we may not be able to review all second images. FINE PRINT: WE CAN ONLY GUARANTEE CRITIQUING YOUR FIRST IMAGE SUBMITTED, AND IF IT INCLUDES YOUR FULL NAME WITHIN THE TITLE Deadline for submitting images will be 10:00 PM of the Friday prior to our meeting. • Sizing: reduce all images to Resolution of 72, and, for horizontal images 1026 pixels wide.

TOM CROCE BIO Tom Croce is originally from Cleveland, Ohio and currently reside in South Western, Ohio. He received his B. Ed. Degree from Miami University School of Fine Art in 1984, and in 1987 earned his Master of Architecture Degree from Washington University. Tom believes that photography begins with the act of seeing, it is the art of noticing and seeing the beauty in nature and capturing that moment. “Through my photography I reach deep inside myself and strive to create environmental portraits that evoke a sense of time and place, that will touch another, inspiring a love and desire to protect the beauty of our natural environment.” TOM’S WEBSITE: https://www.tomcrocephoto.com/ UPCOMING SEMINARS/ WORKSHOPS: https://www.tomcrocephoto.com/Workshops-Seminars
Details Let’s photograph the last Friday Night Reds Fireworks from General James Taylor Park in Newport, Kentucky and then post our photos. Generally the fireworks start about 15 minutes after the end of the game, which can be between 2.5-3 hours after the start at 7:10 pm (so that puts the fireworks about 10:30 pm. However, you will want to get there early enough to pick out your spot and grab a parking spot.
Parking: you can try to get free parking in the General Taylor lot at the end beyond the riverboats. You can park on West 3rd Street just outside of the levee and walk up and over the levee to the park in a couple of minutes – this allows for a quick egress after the fireworks are over.
