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.

Assignment number 2 – April 16-April 30 2020

Our second topic is How Close Can You Go????

Dust off your macro lens and have fun in and out of the house. You don’t have a macro lens – no problem just go as close as your camera will allow you to get. The ideas here a endless and it doesn’t just have to be flowers.

You can enter a photo for each of the categories – one black and white, one color and one digitally enhanced.

  Like field trips we will be doing assignments twice a month instead of one and there will be no voting at this time.  Please enter your photos on the website following the sizing and category specifications.  If you entered in the assignment #1 please send them to president.opc@gmail.com and I will make sure they are included in the slide show.  Let’s have some fun with this since we are asked to stay at home or keep social distancing.
