Intro photo students learn how to get images like this “Shadows at Sunrise

An Intro to Digital Photography class has just been announced by the CBG. Scheduled to begin on January 14, it’s the first Intro to Digital class to run in 2014. These classes are always very enjoyable for both students and the instructor since everyone is pleasantly surprised by the images that are captured both outside and in the greenhouses. If you (or a close friend) decides that there could be a camera in your immediate future, this class is for you. Although the class is still some five weeks out, enrollment is well underway, with 9 students already registered as of this writing. To enroll, call 847.835.8261.Although the class is still some five weeks out, enrollment is well underway, with 9 students already registered as of this writing. To enroll, call 847.835.8261.

Weekly Photo Tip

Filters can make a difference

18mm, f8 @ 1/30, no filter

18mm, f8 @ 1/80 with 3-stop ND Grad

I received a 3-stop, soft-edge ND grad filter from the Camera Clubhouse cats. They decided to purchase from Breakthrough Photography since I mentioned that one of my students brought Breakthrough Filters to a recent class and, on inspection, the filters seemed to be very well made. An ND Grad filter starts dark and fades to clear so the placement of the dark portion is determined by both the bright part of the scene and the photographer. This filter made quite a difference in holding down the sun in the upper part of the image. Check out the “no-filter” image and ND Grad image. The difference will amaze you. Please note: I have no affiliation with Breakthrough Photography and chose them only based on student referral.

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
