Jack's Photo Exhibition opens December 3 at Trailside Nature Center

Exciting News! I’m having my first-ever photo exhibition at the Trailside Nature Center in River Forest. The exhibit opens on Sunday,

December 3rd with a reception from 1 – 3 pm. The collection will include many images from my personal library that have never been on display. We’re expecting many area photographers and students from my photo classes to drop by for the open reception, but you needn’t be too far into this art form/hobby to enjoy the images. The exhibition will be up through January, 2018. More details soon.

738 Thatcher Ave, River Forest, IL 60305

(intersection of Chicago Avenue and Thatcher)

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.
