NAMING CONVENTION FOR YOUR PHOTOS

Description:

What makes a photo a “keeper”?  It depends, of course, but on what? Learning to be a tough critic of your photography is one of the most powerful, and quickest, ways to take your work to the next level (without even touching a camera!).  By identifying behaviors and techniques we want to repeat—and avoid!—in future outings, shutterbugs who routinely review their photographs refine their photography skills and shape their creative vision faster than those who do not. In this insightful and comprehensive presentation, outdoor photographer Colleen Miniuk offers a series of questions to more objectively evaluate your photographs. By showing examples of successful and less-than-successful photographs, attendees will hear how to evaluate composition, lighting, depth of field, focus, and other considerations as well as how to resolve some of the most common pitfalls photographers make (mergers, tilted horizons, etc.).
