The Tips and Techniques meeting this month will cover basic photography concepts concentrating on exposure. We will look at various camera settings to allow the camera to properly expose an image while maintaining some control (shutter speed, f-stop or ISO…) over the camera. The session
will be targeted towards DSLR owners, but point-and-shoot controls will be covered as well. We will also have an opportunity to hear a few words from a freelance photographer for the Associated Press, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, etc.
