When: 7 pm

Zoom. The subject is “The Power of Contrast” presented by the wonderful photographer and educator Lisa Langell. 7pm -9pm.
See the Club Email for details and a registration link.
The Power of Contrast:
Why contrast is so critically important — HOW and WHERE you use it makes all the difference!
- Did you know you can actually control your audience to follow a path in your images in a certain order and sequence?
- Are you aware that carefully placed contrast plays a critically important role in whether your images are experienced in a pleasing way, or with strain?
- Have you mastered the secret of making an image come to life and “pop?”
- Need ideas to improve the “resting place” for your viewer’s eye as they navigate your image?
These critical components of powerful images can all be significantly enhanced by the proper use of contrast. There are special techniques that can be accomplished in-the-field as well as during post-processing that will amaze you.
We will explore before-and-after examples and teach you how you can do so with your own images simply and effectively. Get ready for a game-changer!
Whether you are controlling for contrast in your exposures themselves, and/or in post-processing, this fun, informative and interactive session will help you learn the tricks and techniques necessary to make your images go from drab to fab!
