Hi, DPCA Members. You're participating in the Challenge "Composition on a Tabletop," I hope.
We have an expert in closeup photography coming to give us comments and critique on our entries. He's Fred Lagno, retired airline pilot and an award-winning barnstormer/aerial photographer now living in Queenstown. Since retiring 14 years ago he's become an expert modelmaker and photographer, primarily of model trains and scale-model buildings.
I've seen his train photography show, and it's amazing. As an added inspiration about closeups, after our critique Fred will spend a few minutes showing us samples of his realistic shots, including some that have been magazine covers of the popular publications about model trains. We'll have some Q&A about these techniques and equipment. You can bet he knows something about controlling depth of field and composition in small object arrangements. Fred has also been using HeliconFocus, which is a program somewhat like HDR but in this case, for "focus stacking."
Not a bad subject following our field trip to the B&O Museum, huh? It should be an interesting and as always, informative meeting even for those who haven't been challenged this time.
Hope you'll be there with your photos. Looking forward to your innovations in photography.
