Nature Photography by Vishwanath Bhat


Vishwanath Bhat is a self taught nature photographer with great passion for photography. 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.








 

December 2nd Micron Photo Club Agenda

Review Patterns / Textures picture assignment

Lightroom demonstration - Brent Lindsay
Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 3 has some new features which we would like to continue to show how you can edit pictures. 

Demo Features:
Brush tools
Edit portaits using the brush tools to soften skin, darken eye brows, lighten hair, whiten teeth etc.  Change exposure in specific areas of your photo, burn and dodge your pictures.

Heal tool
Remove blemishes from skin of people in portaits, remove dust spot and sync with the other photos.

Gradient Filter
Use the gradient filter to give pictures a nice contrast

New Lens Correction

Quickly and easily perfect your images by automatically reducing lens defects like geometric distortion, chromatic aberration, and vignetting with single-click profiles. Even images from the best lenses will be improved.

New Superior noise reduction

Achieve amazing, natural-looking results from your high ISO images with all-new state-of-the-art noise reduction technology. You won't need more than what's built into Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 3 to get the cleanest images at any ISO.

Perspective correction

Get more natural-looking results by applying powerful, nondestructive perspective correction to your images. Reduce or eliminate the distortion that can occur, for example, when you take a photograph with the camera pointed upward, causing buildings to appear to be leaning backward in your image.



December Assignment: - Show us your Treasures
Whether it is things that you treasure, memories, places, or people, we want to see those things.
