The Housatonic Camera Club Presents Joe Meehan

The Housatonic Camera Club Presents Joe Meehan

Thinking Beyond the Obvious

Adding Dimensionality to Your Photographs

The program will take place May 20th at 7:00 at Noble Horizons, 17 Cobble Rd., Salisbury, CT. It is free and open to the public.
For more information visit: http://housatoniccameraclub.com

Taking a photograph usually begins with the desire to record a specific person, place, object or event. Today’s cameras are very good at recording such subjects with excellent color/tonality and sharpness. But, the photographs that most often stand out are those that capture something beyond the obvious. That something is usually a dimensional quality that goes beyond what is obvious as the photographer offers his or hers interpretation of the subject.

In his presentation at the next Housatonic Camera Club meeting on May 20th, professional photographer Joseph Meehan will illustrate this quality of dimensionality with examples selected from his experiences as a judge in national and international photography competitions as well as past Editor of the Photography Yearbook.

The program will take place May 20th at 7:00 at Noble Horizons, 17 Cobble Rd., Salisbury, CT. It is free and open to the public.

“Entrepreneur” and “Photographer”—two words that in today’s business world must go together to be successful in the photographic world. Learn what it means to build a successful, goal-oriented, and inspired business that highlights entrepreneurship and creative photography. Hear stories of what works and what doesn’t as David narrates his twenty-year journey in the visual field.

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. Join top nature photography professionals Denise Ippolito (www.deniseippolito.com) and Arthur Morris (www.BIRDSASART-blog.com), co-authors of the hugely popular eBook, “A Guide to Pleasing Blurs,” as they present their slide-illustrated lecture, “Creating Pleasing Blurs.” (Arthur Morris is Sponsored by Canon) (B, I, A, 90 min)

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 (Sponsored by Nikon) (I, 90 min)

PRE-CONFERENCE EVENTS: FIVE PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS plus portfolio review

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS

Friday, July 11 (9am-Noon) workshops run concurrently, you cannot attend more than one

Participants in any workshop must be paid registrants for the Conference. Class size is limited. Register early.

WORKSHOP I: How to Make Your Images Look Better (not worse!) in Photoshop by Arthur Morris (FL)

Artie will discuss and demonstrate the techniques he uses every day to process his digital captures. His approach to Photoshop is a direct one; because he has so many images to process, his choice is to make the images look as good as possible in the shortest amount of time. Artie shows us how to maintain control of the image with the result of a natural-looking, pleasing image. The demonstration will include converting images from RAW, cropping and cloning, levels and hue/saturation adjustments in layers, correcting a colorcast, saving images, and sharpening images for use, as well as other topics. While some of these techniques are not compliant with PSA Nature competition rules, they can be useful to rescue an otherwise great image to make it a work of art to hang on the wall or for use in general competition. Every attendee will receive a copy, including future updates, of Arthur Morris/Birds as Art PDF “The Digital Basics File” ($25 value), a comprehensive set of notes and instruction for the digital editing workflow Artie follows. Prerequisite: No laptops are required for this workshop.

WORKSHOP II: Creative Filters & Effects Workshop by Denise Ippolito (NJ)

During this fun and inspiring workshop participants will learn a variety of the latest techniques that Denise uses to create one-of-a-kind works of art.

Photoshop instruction includes how to selectively apply effects using layers and masks, how to easily apply texture overlays, and creative filtering using a variety of plug-ins including Nik Color Efex Pro, Topaz products, Alien Skin Snap Art 3, and Fractalius. The instructor will use Photoshop CS6 to demonstrate the techniques, but any version of Photoshop that has layers and masks is suitable. Prerequisite: Bring your laptop with Photoshop and plug-ins installed. Instructions to download textures and plug-ins will be provided prior to the workshop.

WORKSHOP III: Black and White Conversion in Photoshop: A Vision-Driven Approach

by A. Cemal Ekin (RI)

Black and White photography requires different sensibilities and different tools. There are many different ways to convert a digital photograph to a B&W. Some prefer to use additional plugins, yet Photoshop offers powerful tools to do the conversion. In this workshop we will explore B&W aesthetics and you will learn some Photoshop techniques that offer flexibility, tonal control, color toning, and not based on additional plugins or software. Participants should be reasonably familiar with Photoshop layers and should have a version of Photoshop installed on their laptops. Some actions and files will be provided before the workshop.

WORKSHOP IV: Making Time-lapse Movies by Joe LeFevre (NY) (INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED LEVEL)

In this workshop you will first learn important field techniques and camera settings for shooting time-lapse sequences. Then, working together, you will process a set of images using Adobe Lightroom, and make the corresponding movie using QuickTime 7 Pro. We will end the workshop with a brief look at a powerful software program called LRTimelapse. Images from one of Joe’s time-lapse sequences will be provided for you on a disk, along with program notes. Come learn how to add motion to your stills using this compelling technique. Prerequisite: Bring a laptop with a copy of Lightroom 4 or 5 installed, along with QuickTime 7 Pro ($29.99 at www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/), and LRTimelapse (free download for up to 400 images at http://lrtimelapse.com/download/).

DIGITAL

A. Cemal Ekin, PhD (RI) Black and White Conversion in Lightroom: Why, What, When, How

Lightroom has offered a new set of tools to digital photographers, including B&W conversion. The obvious tools it offers come with some shortcomings. This session will focus on B&W photography and how to achieve the desired results with maximum effectiveness. Monochrome toning will also be discussed and explained. www.keptlight.com (I, 75 min)

Sean Teegarden (CA) Thought Process: A conceptual workflow using Lightroom's Develop Module

Whether shooting personal or professional work, getting the best photograph in-camera is only half of the battle when making a great image. Editing can be daunting work when post processing tools and new technologies are being created at a rapid pace therefore changing workflow habits. In this workshop, we will cover a creative approach to RAW processing using Lightroom's Develop Module for 90% of the images we create. From the fundamentals of basic processing (most used adjustments) to intermediate aesthetic treatments, we will focus on the image from a pre-visualization view where each image has specific goal prior to image import. The goal is to get your images into Lightroom, out to their destination, and get you back to shooting. We will drill down to some of Lightroom's most powerful features and when one might use a tool set in the image workflow. Topics focused on but not limited to: Local Adjustments (Adjustment Brush, Spot Healing, Radial), Correction features (Upright, Noise Reduction, WB Eyedropper), Color FX (HSL Sliders, Curves Camera, Camera Calibration), and when to use Photoshop.. www.seanteegarden.com (Sponsored by Adobe) (B, I, A, 90 min)

Lisa Cuchara, MNEC (CT) Applying Textures to Photographs

What is a texture? We know texture when we see it, but when we refer to a "Texture" as photographic tool we mean a photograph that is placed on top of another photograph and then "blended" or adjusted to affect how it is portrayed. "Textures" can be just that, photographs of rust, peeling paint, old paper, etc., but they can also be clouds, bokeh, bubbles, water drops, wallpaper, walls, words, old letters, grass, etc. The specific texture that you pick will affect how your photograph underneath looks, but you have additional choices by changing the blending mode (there are 20 blend modes, but a handful that are commonly used when blending textures) for that texture later. Changing the blending modes alters the way that particular texture interacts with the photograph underneath. .Join Lisa Cuchara as she shows you how to edit some of your photographs to give them a different feel by applying textures to them. Textures can add a mood or a feel to an image; making the photograph softer, warmer, grungier, older, etc. In this intermediate workshop (assumes knowledge of layers and masks) Lisa will show you how to collect your own textures, how to use textures, how to remove textures from part of an image, how to remove color from a texture and change the color of the texture and how to prevent the texture from affecting of the photograph below while leaving the color. www.breaphotos.com/ (I, 90 min)

Sarah Musumeci, MNEC (MA) SELECTIONS - How to Choose and Use Photoshop's Many Selection Tools

Often in Photoshop you may want to make changes to an isolated portion of an image, and you need a selection. In this presentation I will demonstrate the many selection tools and how each one works. We will cover the Marquee Tools, the Lasso Tools, the Quick Selection method, and the Magic Wand - and when they are best used. Then we will move to the more sophisticated Color Range method of selections, selections via masks, and the dreaded Pen Tool. The Pen Tool is one of the most accurate and controllable methods of selections, and will prove to be one of your most used tools in any selection process. Mastering these ‘isolation’ methods is essential in getting the perfect selection needed for the job - in the least amount of time. www.smbuildings.com (B, I, A, 90 min)

Andrey Antov (ME) Macro Photography Made Easy

There are several reasons for doing macro rather than landscape or bird photography – it is less expensive and easier, the objects are readily accessible, and there are better chances of repeating the opportunities. In addition, one can shoot macro with the least sophisticated equipment not only outside, but also indoors. In his program Andrey will convey a few easy tricks to quickly set up a macro studio wherever you are. http://photo.net/photos/AndreyAntov (B, I, 60 min)

Gregg Basco (Costa Rica) Making Your Own Light: Flash and Flashlights for Nature Photography Flash, used responsibly and creatively, can open up a whole new world for the nature photographer. Many nature photographers express an aversion to flash, but done well, it allows one to capture dramatic images not possible with natural light. Continuous light sources such as garden-variety flashlights are also valuable in providing accent light to shots during the day and at night. In this engaging presentation, Greg Basco explains how he "makes his own light" in a multitude of ways to produce stunning images in the tropical forests of Costa Rica. You'll take home some inspiration and ideas that you can put to use in your own photography. www.deepgreenphotography.com

Arthur Morris (FL) What Makes a Great Natural History Image

Today’s incredible digital photography gear makes it far easier to create sharp, well exposed, technically perfect image of birds, buildings, bears, boats, and blossoms than it was to do so with film. This slide-illustrated lecture will feature hundred’s of Artie’s spectacular images as he shares his thoughts on the flow of a photograph, negative space, and compositional balance and their effects on image design. Artie will teach you how to see, understand, and use a variety of lighting conditions to create mood in an image. You will learn the great importance of choosing your perspective carefully. You will come to see that using your longest lens with a teleconverter and filling the frame with your subject is a great way to create boring images. You will learn to recognize the great situations that many folks walk right past.
