    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.).

    Bio 

    I'm a Corporate-America-escapee turned full-time freelance outdoor photographer, writer, publisher, instructor, and motivational speaker, supporting a wide range of assignments for editorial and commercial clients. Specializing in nature and outdoor recreation, my purpose as an outdoor communicator is to inspire and help others enjoy the Great Outdoors.


    This will be a hybrid meeting with Zoom and in the Coyote room if available. We'll start the presentation at 9:00 am, but will open up the meeting at 8:30 for chatting and discussion of club business.
