Micron Photo Club Agenda May 5th 2016

May photo assignment "Leading Lines"















Review last month's assignment "Night Shots"

Our presentation is by David Swindler.

David was a member of our photo club and has gone on to chase his passion in photography.  He currently runs a business taking people on photo trips.  Here is his website Action Photo Tours

Despite many great improvements in image sensor design, modern cameras still struggle to capture the full dynamic range of light.  That is why many landscape photos look dull or uninteresting after we get home and view them on the computer. In particular, any nice glow or subtle color from the light is often missing. In this presentation, David Swindler will talk about several post-processing methods to help restore the natural glow in images and tone down unwanted highlights. We’ll begin with a brief discussion of Photoshop blend modes and luminosity masks and then move into the techniques by looking at various examples. When used judiciously, these post-processing methods can dramatically improve the final look of your images.
