Workshops
and Education News:
Photographing the Lavender Fields of Sequim
July 7, 8 & 9th, 2006
This
workshop will include both classroom time and time in the field, visiting
several lavender farms in the Sequim, WA area. Classroom time will cover
equipment, exposure, composition, and problem solving. We will look at images
taken by students before the class as well as during the class. E-6 processing
is available locally and we will make several runs for processing in order to
review slides. Students pay for processing at the time. Digital media will also
be supported so please bring your digital equipment, manual and laptop. In the field,
we will be taking advantage of early morning and late afternoon light. We will
begin the visits by touring the farms, discussing what we are ‘seeing’ and how
to best capture images with our photographic eye. Students will then have time
to shoot on their own, with the instructors available for support. This
workshop will take place shortly before the Sequim Lavender Festival to take
full advantage of the color and beauty.
Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Cost: $315
Instructors: Joan Consani and Ilona

Tired of your selections not having smooth borders?
Try this; make your selection as usual. Then go to Filter>Noise>Median.
Make sure your preview is selected and the area in question is shown in the
filter window. As you move the radius slider, you will see your selection's
borders become smoother in appearance. When you are satisfied, hit okay.

Well that
is it for now I hope you enjoyed reading through your newsletter. I would like to
reiterate this is your club and your
newsletter. If you have any ideas to make your club a better community, please
contact any of the board members.
Photography
has always been and remains multifaceted; it tells us stories of life,
providing insight, pleasure and pain. I am always amazed at the ease in which
photography can effect emotion and connection.
It is written,
that on July 4th in 1862, as a result of a controversy surrounding copyright
issues during a recent art show, the French Court declared that photography be
legally accepted as fine art.
I want to
thank the French for their marvelous insight.
We look forward to hearing from you. ~
