ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. November Meetings

2. January Meetings
a. Monday January 13, 2025 @ 7 pm – Lewis Katz - His web site - Lewis Katz Photography - demonstrates what a remarkable he is. He will be joining us from Baltimore. Some of his work is in black and white, and he also explores abstract photography. He will be giving his presentation on Perspective and Perception: The Myth of Style. He will also be leading a critique later in the spring on this theme.
b. Monday January 27th, 2025 @ 7 pm Kevin Lanthier will return to lead the critique on his theme of compositional photography. This was the challenge he left us:
ISOLATION
What is not in the frame is as important as what is in the frame.
I carefully control this through compositing in Photoshop - I extract the subjects I want and rebuild controlled compositions.
ASSIGNMENT
Create an image that shows strong isolation of an interesting subject to enhance impact.
You can do this purely through in-camera composition, or via retouching, or by compositing multiple photos in Photoshop or even using generative fill.
Easy, right?
