JACKIE KRAMER
Artistic Floral Photography – Bringing out the Character

Video for this Presentation

The video for this is not posted as usual on YouTube per the request of the presenter: members may request the link to this video by sending an email to webmaster@evergreencameraclub.com

Join Jackie as she takes you on a journey through her digital garden at Evergreen Camera Club’s May general meeting. She will share a variety of techniques that she uses to bring out the character in floral subjects.

Jackie will offer examples showing how to reflect the personality of a flower and how to shoot straightforward macro images with selective focus, shoot-throughs, abstracts, multiples, textures and more. Listen to her rationale as it applies to decisions in the field pertaining to selection of the subject, background, approach, composition, lighting, exposure, and depth of field.

Jackie’s presentation will include an editing demonstration showing how to incorporate textures into your images. You will leave with a desire to put some of these ideas into action as you create your own unique images!

This is a Zoom meeting format, so join ECC on Wednesday, May 11th for social time at 6:30 pm and announcements at 7:00 pm in the Zoom meeting room. New members, students and guests are always welcome.

Polar bears invade Churchill, Manitoba! Log into Evergreen Camera Club on March 9th to find out why.

Each fall, polar bears gather on the edge of Hudson Bay in Churchill, Manitoba to wait for the ice to arrive. Frozen waters mean it is time to hunt seals but before then, the polar bears just pass the time waiting for the bay to freeze by playing, feeding, roaming and sleeping near the town of Churchill. Join Dawn for this visual presentation about what to expect during a trip to Churchill, including wildlife of the area, travel tips and how to stay warm.

The Power and the Beauty of Infrared
Re-visualizing your world

Add infrared photography to your portfolio! Infrared is quickly gaining in popularity and Tony Sweet is a master. Join Evergreen Camera Club for this illuminating topic on February 9th. “The inherent surreal properties of B&W infrared are always surprising and redefines the visual world,” Sweet explains. “We will also touch on the world of Faux Color Infrared.”

Through ample illustrations, Tony will breach the curtain between the world we see and the one we imagine in B&W and in Color Infrared photography. His image examples will illustrate the effects of angle and quality of light, times of day and weather conditions.

Tony expects the presentation to run 70 to 90 minutes. Questions are encouraged throughout the presentation and at the end. Visit Tony’s website, tonysweet.com, for more amazing photos.
