Noted photographer Dorothea Lange had a quote that goes “A camera teaches you how to see without a camera.” When you think about it this is so true. As photographers, we see the world a little differently than other people. This visualization is a conscious process we use to create visually impactful images, whether its landscapes, nature or wildlife.

Andy Long will walk you through the process of several aspects of previsualizing: how an image will appear after the thought process is completed with the click of the shutter button.

Andy is a Lakewood-based photographer and has run First Light Photo Workshops for 26 years. He’s spoken to the Evergreen Camera Club numerous times over the years. Learn more at www.firstlighttours.com

What do you do when you are standing in front of an amazing vista and your camera does not come close to capturing the majesty of the scene? Watch Glenn Randall’s Take a Walk on the Wide Side presentation and learn how to compose, shoot, and stitch together single and multi-row photographic panoramas.

Glenn will explain how you can make stitched panoramas with your existing equipment – no purchase necessary! “Learning to shoot and stitch panoramas from multiple frames will open up a new world of photographic possibilities,” said Randall, a Boulder-based professional photographer and author of five impressive landscape photography books. “Take a walk on the wide side, and you’ll never again be content to see the world in just one way.”
