In a multimedia presentation of “Safari to Africa”, Ivan Rothman will take us with him on safari to seven African countries: Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya. The images are accompanied by an exciting musical theme. Come see Africa through Ivan’s lens. Following the show, he will discuss tips on how to best travel to Africa and other distant locations for wildlife photography. This will include options for cameras and lenses, how to carry them onto a plane or in the field, camera support with tripods or beanbags, computer equipment and software for downloading, organizing and protecting the images. Who to travel with, how to get there and what are the health risks. And what are the living conditions like in the wild? In the camps, you would be amazed at how comfortable the tents can be and how good the food is, although some will complain about the small size of the swimming pools!!

Macro Photo Conference 2016

Macro Photo Conference 2016

Sponsored by Tamron and Hunt's Photo 
This is a unique annual photo conference dedicated to macro photography. I've always wanted to design a program where professional photographers could come together and teach their skills in macro photography and post processing techniques to those who want to learn, and advance their macro photography to the next level.
This Macro Photo Conference will have plenty of how-to lectures and five hours of photographing with varying subject matter. The speakers will be available to help participants with composing subjects and technical aspects.  So you need to bring your camera, macro lens, and tripod.
Speakers will have their books available, and will be happy to sign them for you.
We  will also have a discussion on getting your images published, and selling through stock agencies with former Outdoor Photographer Magazine editor Rob Sheppard, and KAC Stock Agency owner Kathy Adams Clark.
The Crazy Frog Lady, Lisa Cuchara will have her exotic frogs back again for you to photograph.
Leading New England photo retailer Hunt's Photo will be there selling lots of photo products. Tamron will have a tech rep on hand with lenses available for you to try out.
There will be a limit of 100 participants, and it should sell out quick. Last year we had participants from 16 different states.
Location:
Ramada Hotel
213 Taunton Ave, Seekonk, MA 02771
(508) 336-8700
Dates:
October 29th and 30th 2016

The Spectacular View of the Wide-Angle Close-Up
Most people put on a macro lens for close-up and macro work but go no further than that. Yet, there is a whole new world of close-up shooting that will open up to you when you shoot with a wide-angle focal length up close, including macro distances. It changes everything! And will give you images that few other photographers will have. That doesn't mean there aren't challenges to doing this, though. Rob will ofter ideas, equipment thoughts and tips on how you can change your approach to macro and master this amazing approach to nature.

Don Komarechka

dk-ir-hotmirror-selfie-2
Don Komarechka is a nature, macro and landscape photographer located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. From auroras to pollen, insects to infrared, much of Don's photographic adventures reveal a deeper understanding of how the universe works. Don uses photography as a way to explore and understand the world around him. Photographing something unusual or unknown is the perfect excuse to learn something new. Don's work often pushes up against the technical limitations of modern camera equipment and the physical limitations of light itself.
"Pushing the limits of light while still producing visually stunning images is my passion. If someone is captivated enough to re-evaluate the world around them, I've done my job."
The Beauty of Physics:
Magical Macro from Geometry and Bending Light
Macro photographers play by a different rulebook. The challenges faced from the subject matter, the equipment and even the laws of physics make this a challenging genre of photography. It can be abstract, it can tell stories, and it can spark your imagination. It's a study of lines, shapes and colours in a very technical way.
Step into a world of photography that most artists consider magical. Photographing refracted images within water droplets reveals not only the beauty of simple physics, but it opens the creative doors to unlimited possibilities in macro photography. The same admiration of simple physics can be seen in every snowflake; the admiration can quickly shift to frustration, but with the right tools and techniques, winter becomes a much more tolerable season for those with an eye for details. In the end, the hardest part is simply finding or creating the most beautiful subject.
Specific discussion of the challenges of depth of field and focus stacking will be discussed, as well as many reasons why extreme macro photography can be accomplished entirely handheld - and why this can be an advantage.

Photographing Butterflies
Butterflies can be found almost everywhere.  They live on high alpine tundras, low arid deserts, moist tropical jungles, and temperate backyard gardens.  Butterflies shimmer with iridescent scales and blend into the leaf litter with muted brown tones.  These lovely insects can be a challenge to photograph because they are constantly moving from place to place.  Join Kathy Adams Clark to learn how to capture stunning photos of butterflies.  Learn how to stalk butterflies, what's going on in the mind of a butterfly, how to anticipate behavior, and how to find butterflies.  This educational session will also include equipment needed for butterfly photography such as macro lenses, extension tubes, close-up lenses, flashes, and focus stacking.  Kathy will also illustrate how butterflies can be photographed with basic equipment and a camera with any lens.

March presentation at Charter Oak Photographic Society - "Mirrorless Cameras"

March presentation at Charter Oak Photographic Society - "Mirrorless Cameras"

Mirrorless cameras

On Monday, March 28, 2016, Charter Oak Photographic Society will be giving a program on "Mirrorless Cameras."  An open invitation is being sent to anyone interested in this informative presentation.  The meeting time is 7:15 pm and will take place at Charter Oak's meeting place:  Elmwood Community Church, 26 Newington Road, West Hartford, CT.  If needed, directions to the Elmwood Community Church can be found at Charter Oak's website at:  www.charteroakphoto.org.

Hunts Photo personnel will be presenting "Mirrorless Cameras", a discussion of the evolution of the digital camera from DSLR to Mirrorless. See how that small, lightweight cameras have comparable image quality to the same size sensor DSLRs.

Additionally, they provide features unavailable in most DSLR's that make picture taking more fun and easy. This includes the ability to use nearly any interchangeable lens from the past, easier ways to accurately focus, and precise exposure confirmation before taking the picture. See which models offer 4K Video, allowing excellent still images from video clips, Focus Stacking, in-camera automated Time-Lapse Photography, and Live Composite.

In addition, to these "new" features, the basic camera functions of focusing and images stabilization have been improved over DSLR's because of newer Mirrorless technology.

These are but just a few of the features you will find when you explore Mirrorless Camera technology.

Manufacturer reps will be present to answer your questions and show you their cameras.

Lightroom: The Basics and More

Lightroom: The Basics and More
With John Tunney
Workshops
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
April 2, 2016

Learn the essential tools and techniques to make your photos look their best using Adobe Lightroom. This hands-on workshop is based on a simple workflow that will let you quickly and easily organize, edit and output your images. First, we'll cover how to import, rate and sort your pictures. Then, working with sample images, you'll learn how to adjust colors, fine-tune your exposure and recover blocked shadows and blown highlights. You'll learn re-touching techniques to remove everything from dust spots to telephone lines and other unsightly distractions. In addition, we'll cover noise reduction, sharpening and more, including key editing tips and tricks used by professional photographers to give their pictures extra pop and finish. You'll also learn how to export your photos for email and the web.

Fine-art photographer and instructor John Tunney is a frequent exhibitor in galleries, art shows and festivals on Cape Cod and around New England. His work has been featured in a solo exhibition at the Griffin Museum of Photography and has been published in Cape Cod Life, Cape Codder, Fodor's and many other publications. His photography book “The Four Seasons of Cape Cod” was published by Schiffer Publishing in January 2016.

Join us on Monday, April 11 for "Everyday Montages" presented by Paul Peterson

Join us on Monday, April 11 for "Everyday Montages" presented by Paul Peterson

The program is free and open to the public. The NEW HAVEN CAMERA CLUB meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 7:30 pm Sept-May at the Whitney Center, Cultural Arts Center, 200 Leeder Hill Drive, Hamden. For more information contact Paul Peterson pmjpeterson@sbcglobal.net

Many images can be enhanced by combining photographs to create montages. The title "Everyday Montages" refers to the fact that Paul Peterson likes to combine images or parts of images in such a way that they don't appear to be montages. The title also refers to the fact that Paul uses this technique so often that he now creates these images virtually every day, having a lot of fun in the process. He will replace skies, move buildings, and add or remove people and other elements.

Paul Peterson has been a member of the New Haven Camera Club since 1980. Over the years, he has given a number of programs to the club. He likes to make his programs straightforward and understandable, so that even our less experienced members can get a lot out of them.

Please note that this program is not really about adding textures. While Paul is experimenting with the use of textures, most of  the images in this program don't use textures. The technique of  photo montage is used to enhance existing images or create new images which appear natural. Combining images is a very creative process and the results can be impressive.
