Composition Lecture

Many thanks to Brian Brown, our featured speaker for February, who gave an excellent talk on Composition. He layed out the rules and why they were important. He then suggested we not be completely bound by them but intelligently use our creativity to break them when needed. Check out his website at BrownForImages.Com.

Brief HDR Tutorial

Here is an HDR image I took on a recent trip to southern Utah. I post it here because if you click on the image there is a short HDR tutorial on the settings used. There are also a number of links to a set of quick tutorials I learned at a course I took through Santa Fe Workshops. I hope they are helpful.
