Photographic Composition: Arrangements and POV - What’s in the Frame? With George Schaub
©George Schaub
This illustrated lecture deals with the elements of composition that can help guide you into making effective photographs regardless of subject or scene. These suggestions deal with a recognition of form and leading lines, the juxtaposition of tonality, and the impact of color contrast as you frame your picture. These decisions affect the overall harmony of the image, plus are effective visual cues that help bring the viewer into the scene. He begins by looking at some classic photographs to examine how composition has both overt and hidden effects on perception, and then deals with matters such as equilibrium and balance, color harmonies and contrast, frame segmentation, primal shapes and forms, repetition, deep shadow play, direction of light, and the dramatic effect of focal length decisions on compositional impact. Using examples from his many years of photographing, Schaub’s lecture will offer you a notebook full of ideas to apply in the field as you go out with camera in hand.
1:00 PM - 2:15 PM
Luminous Seas with Brian Skerry
©Brian Skerry
During his 24-year career as a National Geographic magazine photographer, Brian Skerry’s work has evolved from a purely natural history focus to highlighting problems in the ocean and illustrating solutions. With Luminous Seas, Brian takes us on assignment with him into the sea and guides us through his storytelling journey. His artistic interpretation of issues such as overfishing, climate change and endangered species combined with celebratory treatment of animals like sharks (giving them a ‘makeover’) and showing the value of marine protection, provides visual context for the pivotal moment at which we find ourselves in history – a time when we understand the problems, know the solutions and simply need the will to act.

Orchids on the Porch at Bill & Wynn's - Mississippi 2021
Want to take your pictures from “Almost” to “Wow!”? We all use the same tools (cameras, light, computers), but some photographers produce consistently exceptional work, because they understand the magic necessary to transform what’s in front of the camera into a stunning photograph. In this 1-hour demo focusing on the newly-updated local adjustment tools in Lightroom (gradients and brushes), Jean ‘Gino’ Miele will share some of his secrets for creating stronger, more striking images, and help you take your work to the next level.
4:30 PM - 5:45 PM
Capturing the beauty of the Milky Way and the Night Sky by Lewis Kemper
©Lewis Kemper
Night sky and Milky Way images present many challenges for photographers. There are 4 ways to capture the night sky. A single image at high ISO and relatively short exposures; multiply images at very high ISO and short exposures, which then get stacked in special software; and tracking, using a mechanical device to move the camera in sync with the stars, allowing for long exposures at low ISO; and creating star trails by either stacking multiple images or photographing for extended time periods. Lewis will explain each technique and talk about their advantages and disadvantages.
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

It was a year that we won’t ever forget, yet strangely so like 2020. Did we live a Groundhog Day movie? 2020 again? 2021 again transformed the lives of each of the planets seven billion plus. We elected a new President who promised us a calm time and took us on a roller coaster of confusion. Maybe USA's worse year of overseas policy in a long time. Economy spiraling fueled by record inflation. Now most recently Canadian truckers started a world movement to fight COVID vaccines. Canadians? Did not see that coming. 2021 Documented in year’s most striking images, presented chronologically. Grab a cup of tea or something stronger and settle in. Been a Year to remember and forget.
