Hank Erdmann-Abstracting Nature in a Photograph
2023-01-19 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
About this Webinar:
What makes an Abstract? What is an Abstract? These questions and many more are answered in my program on creating abstract images in nature and of natural and other objects. The great thing is that your imagination is the only block in the creative process and nowhere more so than in abstraction. I look at the various meanings of the word, how it pertains to photography, and show many of the techniques and much of the equipment I use to make interesting and eye-catching images inspired by nature and more. Hank Erdmann is an artist, an author, a professional natural history photographer and photographic educator who resides in Will County, IL.

Kathleen Reeder-“Post Processing Wildlife Images”
2023-04-20 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
About this webinar: The primary objective of post processing is to maximize the impact of what you saw or felt in that defining moment when you pressed the shutter. The changes and improvements you choose to make to a photo are largely a personal choice, but there are basic changes to keep in mind that can increase a wildlife photo’s impact. In addition, if you shoot in RAW format, photos can look great on the camera’s LCD screen, but most require post processing to be a “finished image”, even when you do everything right in the camera. Kathleen Reeder will present the post processing considerations and steps to maximize the impact of your wildlife photos.
