Creativity With Light, a National Geographic Photo Seminar

Dear New England Camera Club Council,
I'm writing to tell you about Creativity With Light, a National Geographic Photo Seminar that I thought members of your photo club might be interested in attending.
The right light is the secret ingredient that lets you turn an ordinary subject into a magical photograph. Photographers Jay Dickman and Nevada Wier will help you recognize and work with a wide range of light—tackling its exposure challenges, exploring creative possibilities, using color strategically, and choosing the white balance.
