May 26, 2011 Landscape Meeting - info

Below is a list of potential topics for Landscape SIG discussions and "photo assignments."  This is just the beginnings of a "brainstorming" list, so please feel free to suggest additions or priorities.  
 
 
Topic / Assignment                                        Month, 2011
"My Interpretation of Cimarron Hole #7 "            April
Leading lines                                                  May
Maximizing Depth of Field                               June
 
Side, back and front lighting 
Making moving water images 
Fill flash / reflectors   
 
Neutral Density & Split Neutral Density filters 
Circular Polarizing filter 
Framing an image 
 
Producing a Calendar  
The Photographer's Ephemeris  
    (& "guesstimate" techniques)
Forshortening (Telephoto) 
 
Building a Panorama
Mat and Frame an image
 
Since I have been slow getting this out, I am planning to develop information to begin the Depth of Field discussion for our session this Thursday (May 26) at 3:00 PM.
 
Please bring in your submissions for this month's assignment (leading lines) on a thumb drive so we can put them on the screen.  If that's inconvenient for you, email your .jpg images to me by Wednesday (noon) and I will copy them to my thumb drive for the session.   
 
I have attached a link to a "blog" written by a Phoenix photographer about a trip he made to the Pacific Northwest last summer.  I think you will not only enjoy the images, but also find it helpful to identify potential photo locations if you travel in that direction.  
 
The article defaults to the first of 12 separate articles (#5 was just posted).  To get to #2, #3, etc. scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the "index" button on the left side of the page, where you can select the sections you haven't looked at yet.
