SUMMARY:Vince Pellegrini will teach us about “Focus Stacking and Some Other Neat Things”
DESCRIPTION: January 6\, 2025 at 7:00 PM: Vince Pellegrini will teach us about “Focus Stacking and Some Other Neat Things”  \nVince Pellegrini will talk about his use of focus stacking from beginning to end. \nVince has been using creative focus stacking in a different way than it is typically applied to large landscape scenes & macro work. Specifically\, he uses this technique with a wide aperture to control the depth of field for images with complex backgrounds resulting in precise subject isolation & beautiful bokeh. Both manual & in-camera automatic techniques will be reviewed in detail along with his workflow in Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop & the Helicon Focus app. \nIn this example\, the scene on the left required a single aperture setting of f/22 in order to have the green & white moss “acceptably” sharp front to back. However\, at that f/stop\, the background was too much in near-focus & was very distracting. The dim forest light was also an issue. The image on the right resulted from combining 25 images at f/2.8 while eliminating the remaining 21 captures thus stopping the final image focus in post exactly where desired. \n \n\nTotal sequence: \n \nIf time allows\, Vince will also review some other neat & practical topics. These might include a follow up of Jonathan Vaines’ recent BPS talk\, such as building a diptych or more in Adobe Lightroom & in-camera multiple exposure “coloration” which came up during the Q/A as well as some Adobe Lightroom processing tips. \nSee examples of Vince’s work on Instagram at @vincentapellegrini. Come join us.

SUMMARY:Huibo Huo will present “The Power of Simplicity in Black and White Landscape Photography
DESCRIPTION:– January 20\, 2025 at 7:00 PM: Huibo Huo will present “The Power of Simplicity in Black and White Landscape Photography” \nHuibo Hou (https://www.huibohou.com)\, is a landscape photographer based in San Diego\, California. She fell in love with photography about 26 years ago as a hobbyist while working in the wireless communication industry. Then life took her in different directions\, and she had to set aside her photography pursuit for quite some time. In early 2015\, she rekindled her love for photography and gradually became more serious about the craft. Her work has been recognized internationally in recent years with multiple awards and publications. Landscape photography\, especially in black and white\, is the art medium that she is passionate about. It serves as her creative outlet to express how she observes\, interprets\, and connects with nature. \nHuibo’s presentation\,  “The Power of Simplicity in Black and White Landscape Photography” will give us a view into her beautiful images. The power of black and white images is often rooted in their simplicity. Huibo’s favorite type of black and white landscape images are the clean\, simple ones with just a few essential elements in each frame\, leaving space for viewers to imagine and contemplate. In this presentation\, she will delve deep into a few ideas and techniques in seeking such simplicity\, both in the field and during the postprocessing. Topics include:  seeing and composing with essential elements; using long exposure to aid simplicity and create mood; managing tones and textures in post-processing. Whether you are an exploring beginner or an experienced photographer\, this presentation can inspire you towards creating impactful black and white landscape images.
