The Elmwood Community Church, 26 Newington Road
West Hartford, CT (Conte Hall – Lower Level)
On Monday, May 14, 2012, Rick Sammon will be presenting his program “Exploring the Light”at Charter Oak. We would like to take this opportunity to invite you, your camera club, and friends to come and be our guest (no charge). Our meeting begins at 7:15 p.m. SHARP!
In this informative and fun-filled presentation, Rick Sammon will begin by sharing his people, wildlife, landscape and travel pictures from around the globe – illustrating the difference between taking pictures and making pictures. For every image, Rick will share a photographic technique, digital darkroom tip, or a photo philosophy. He will cover seeing the light, controlling the light, playing with the light, HDR photography and some composition techniques.
This is not just a slide show of pretty images. Rick is here to share what he’s learned over his many years as a professional photographer. As Rick “takes” us on a visual journey through the exciting world of digital photography, he will share some of his favorite Photoshop CS5 enhancements.
Rick Sammon, a Canon Explorer of Light, is one of the most active photographers on the planet. The dude just can’t sit still!
Rick has published 36 paper books, including Secrets of HDR Photography, Exploring the Light, and Digital Photography Secrets. He is also a leader in iPad and iPhone photography apps.
Rick, who has photographed in almost 100 countries around the world, gives more than two-dozen photography workshops (including private workshops) and presentations around the world each year.
Rick co-founded the Digital Photography Experience podcast (www.dpexperience.com) with Juan Pons. He also hosts several shows on kelbytraining.com.
Rick, who has been nominated for the Photoshop Hall of Fame, is considered one of today’s top digital -imaging experts, cutting through lots of Photoshop “speak,” making it fun, easy and rewarding to work and play in the digital darkroom.
When asked about his photo specialty, Rick says, “My specialty is not specializing.”
