Review Decembers assignment "Holidays"


January's assignment "Shoot something ordinary"

Look around your house for something ordinary to shoot. Better yet, open a kitchen drawer and take out any object.  Now using just one lens, shoot it from different angles and depths of field.  Then let some direct sunlight shine through it or bounce a flash on colored paper.  This exercise can be done anywhere in your house.

Review "Hands" assignment

Assignment for December "Holidays"

Introduction to Digital IR Photography
With the digital revolution in photography over the past decade or so, creating interesting and surreal images using the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum just beyond the hum-drum visible wavelengths has never been easier. Since silicon is strongly absorbing in the infrared, it is easy to adapt or convert your camera to take these fascinating images. Michael Lindemann will share some information on getting started with digital infrared photography. If you haven't already, I highly recommend trying it out and augmenting your photography catalog with infrared images!

He started shooting in 2005 with a digital point and shoot camera (Kodak DX7590), and in 2008 he upgraded to Nikon D80. Vishwanath likes to shoot various types of nature subjects including grand scenic, intimate landscapes, and closeup images by paying attention to the details such as light, composition and mood that differentiates a snap shot photograph and a good photograph. In this presentation, Vishwanath will cover some of his favorite nature photographs and discuss them in some detail.
