April Education Meeting
Apr 19 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

bargyleOur education meeting will feature Brian Argyle a well known local photographer.

Brian will talk on shooting and combining multiple images.  Typically these might be used for HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos, Panoramas–both Horizontal and Vertical composites–or Focus Stacking.  In addition, just plain Bracketing of multiple shots can often be useful in difficult exposure situations.  But all have factors that need to be considered when setting up the shots.  Typically software–either in your camera or on your computer–looks after processing multiple images, but we’ll also get a quick demo of layer masking/blending.
Be certain to attend.
