Library Gig: Know Thy Camera

September 4, 2012

I recently spoke at the Glenview Library. Since the admission price was right ($0), 94 people were in the room to hear my Know Thy Camera presentation. As you might imagine, the spread of both camera knowledge and equipment was vast. Presuming that would be the case, I addressed the mid-point of camera understanding, figuring that in a relaxed atmosphere, beginning photographers would ask questions without shame. That worked, and including questions, the presentation went on for 75 minutes.    Not bad for a Tuesday night in August.  Last Thursday, The Glenview Announcements local weekly newspaper ran a 2-page color spread on my time at the library.  I’ve added the link here.  //pioneerlocal.mycapture.com/mycapture/enlarge.asp?image=43268538&event=1518557&CategoryID=2297

Weekly Photo Tip

Take the center column away

A definite Sign of Spring.

If your tripod has a center column, you will want to remove it before getting down to photograph spring flowers. Even with a 100-180mm focal length macro lens, your tripod will be too far from the subject. There are two options: 1. purchase a tripod with a removable center column or 2. just purchase a tripod that never had a center column. Of these two choices, I’d opt for the first one.

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.
