Program: Before and After with meeting participants
Photography has two steps, capturing an image and editing it. As we say, “Maybe I can clean that up in post (processing).” We crop, dodge and burn, and add or remove material as we want. Sliders, layers, and masks have become our editing tools of choice in the digital age.
Meeting participants are asked to submit two images which represent before and after in your editing. Be prepared to explain what you did in the process and why you took these steps to arrive at your final image. This is an opportunity to share your editing style and learn from others.
Please submit the images to Jerry Sargent (photos@jerrysargent.com) using this format: Your_Name_1.jpg, Your_Name_2.jpg.
Member Photo Share Theme: Sunrise / Sunset
“Winter brings short days that make it easier to experience both sunrise and sunset. Select two favorite images, regardless of the season, that capture the colors, shadows, activities, or subtle shades of light that define the transitions between light and dark. Remember, astronomical, nautical, and civil twilights are all a part of sunset and sunrise.” – Bill Galloway
You are encouraged to send 2 images for this part of the meeting, on this topic … or another if you prefer. Please rename your images 1FirstName_LastName.jpg, 2FirstName_LastName.jpg and send to photos@jerrysargent.com no later than February 18th to make sure they are included. This is mostly a Show and Tell time, but if you are looking for a critique or help with an image, you are welcome to ask for that sort of feedback.
