| 26/03/26 | Talk (in Person): Getting the Shot Photography is an unusual pursuit. Unlike most other creative arts and crafts, with today’s technology it requires no special skill to take a photograph. The billions of pictures uploaded every day to social media and image sharing websites are testament to that. What those same sites do also demonstrate is that there is more to creating a successful image than simply pressing the shutter release. It is not enough to rely on automation and let the camera decide how best to take the shot. Presenter: Mike Farley, https://www.mikefarley.net/ |
