NJ Audubon Digital Photography Workshop 2: Photographic Composition
New Jersey Audubon's Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary 11 Hardscrabble Road, Bernardsville, NJ, United StatesInstructors: Phil Witt, Dave DesRochers, and Jack Moskowitz, Associate Naturalists Workshop 2 will focus on composition--that is, capturing the best image.  The workshop will also begin covering the basics of digital editing. Although the workshop will demonstrate digital editing using PhotoShop, most of the editing techniques can be implemented in other digital editing programs.  The workshop will be organized around three nature photography principles—light, composition, and moment.  All composition and editing techniques, from the initial lens choice to the image capture technique to PhotoShop editing, will be geared towards achieving an image that captures those three elements well.  Although we will stress getting the best image capture initially, sometimes Mother Nature needs a little help in the digital darkroom, so we will cover basic digital editing methods that can improve the image.  The workshop will review examples from a variety of subject types within nature photography, ranging from birds to insects to landscapes.  Participants will be encouraged to submit their own images for in-class editing. One person per ticket. Ticket sale ends on 11/4 at 5:00 PM. COST: $12 members, $25 nonmembers. Interested in becoming a member?
