Denise Ippolito (NJ) and Arthur
Morris (FL) Creating Pleasing Blurs
Pleasing blurs are rarely happy accidents…. This program will cover the great variety of
techniques that can be used to create pleasingly blurred images mostly
in-camera in the field, and at times, during post-processing. Topics that will be discussed and illustrated
include pan blurs, vertical pan blurs, zoom blurs, camera movement blurs
including flames and jiggles, flash blurs, and subject movement blurs including
moving water blurs, long exposure blurs.
They will discuss the need for accurate focusing, managing your ISO
settings, creating in-camera multiple exposures, the importance of subject to
film plane orientation, the role of neutral density and polarizing filters when
creating pleasing blurs, your choice of shutter speeds, and how subject to
sensor distance affects the degree of blurring.
With the advent of digital photography and the popularity of
intentionally blurred images in prestigious nature photography competitions,
more and more folks are enjoying the challenges and rewards of creating
pleasing blurs. Whether you photograph birds, wildlife, and flowers or people, street
scenes, or landscapes, this is one program that you do not want to miss if you
would like to learn to unleash your creativity.

Deborah
Sandidge (FL) Infrared Photography - the World of Invisible Light
Infrared
photography will expand your photographic horizons. It offers the photographer
an alternative way to "tell the story" creating an image that is more
surreal and enchanting than possible in color.
Various subjects reflect and absorb infrared light differently than in
color. The results may surprise you! Leaves from trees such as maples, are
highly reflective of infrared light and are recorded as white by the digital
camera and infrared filter. Clouds become wonderfully expressive and often the
sky is quite dark, both key features of an infrared image. Infrared light also
creates a flawless porcelain look to skin. This is why infrared photography is
so attractive to wedding photographers. The way that infrared light is absorbed
and reflected by various surfaces works beautifully to create a compelling
image. Join author Deborah Sandidge as she guides you through creative
techniques for photographing and post processing beautiful infrared imagery. www.deborahsandidge.com
