Description

The Basic Guidelines Of Wildlife Photography

A scintillating talk on how to shoot Wildlife. Impact of different lighting. How to handle silhouettes. Topics on compositions, depth of field for long lenses, shutter speed and the use of flash.
The secret on survival when traveling with Jerry, Vinnie and Phil.

Street & People Photography

Mike Peters will show photographs from personal projects and some of his commercial work. My approach is similar for both types of work, I photograph people and places how I find them.  For the 30 years that I have made my living as photographer, I've always had personal projects going that have kept me interested and passionate about being a photographer. My approach is simple, choose to go to a place that I relate to on some level, get out of my car, pull my camera from my bag and walk, make photographs, meet people, walk some more, make more photographs, repeat. 

Dynamic Duo

Discover how to use Lightroom and Photoshop together to streamline your workflow to increase productivity so that you have more time to be creative with your camera and the computer. Learn when and where to manage your images most efficiently, create the highest quality digital negatives, render and enhance selective areas of images, and make great prints.

Celery Farm Nature Area-Changing Seasons

The Celery Farm Natural Area in Allendale remains a pretty oasis, where a surprising variety of birds and wildlife lives or visits. For the past four years I’ve haunted it regularly with a camera to follow the annual changes in landscape and inhabitants. In addition to a slide presentation, I’ll give a virtual tour, talk about particular challenges the Farm presents to the photographer.

Commercial Photography

Commercial Photography ranges from architectural, advertising, hi-tech, industrial, food to illustrations. Examples of different type of assignment will be presented.
Reed will discuss and present examples on some of the techniques use to get to the final shot. He will also show examples of how Photoshop is used in commercial work and broadens the scope of the Commercial Photographer.
