David H Wells presents "Making Exceptional Travel Photographs"
David
H Wells (RI) Making Exceptional Travel Photographs
Making exceptional travel
photographs requires a photographer to be good at a wide variety of
photographic genres, varying from street photography, to still life work to
portraits. The best travel photographers are on a life-long journey combining
two of their favorite passions: travel and photography. Similarly, they are
versatile in their skills and fluid in their process, using minimal gear to
achieve maximum of results. An inveterate traveler, David Wells has distilled
his working technique and gear down to a bare minimum. The presentation will
explore his working strategy and his gear, to help attendees achieve the
maximum in image quality while using the minimal gear. Topics covered will
include being in the right place at the right time, understanding how the time
of the day affects the quality and direction of light, the importance of
varying shots, position and angle, portraying people, visualizing spaces,
stopping action vs. showing motion, thoughts on tripods, the magic of twilight,
the appropriate lenses, some basics of flash, the power of silhouettes, the
importance of working your situations, and putting it all together to get “the
moment.” (Sponsored by Olympus) (B, I, A)
