Camera Basics

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 7, 10:00am-12:00pm
Clubhouse #4, Educational Classroom
There are many skills required to obtain good photographs. One of the most important is understanding the basics of photo composition, including the use of leading lines, framing, selective focus/depth of field, negative space, etc.
Also important is a good comprehension of basic camera functions such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO, lens length, etc and how they relate to each other. Through the use of interactive media, you will be able to actually see what happens to a photo when you change one of these settings.
You will learn how to choose appropriate settings and how to compensate for any changes. We will practice making these choices and changes in the class via the interactive media.
The goal of the class is to have you be more comfortable with camera settings and to know how to obtain a more appealing photo by applying various composition rules.

Lightroom Masking Techniques
Ted Koelsch
THURSDAY JANUARY 15, 9:30am-11:30pm
Clubhouse #4, Educational Classroom
To make an image come to life, most images need more than just global edits (which affect the entire image). Masking allows you to make targeted local edits, which affect only specific parts of an image.
In this class, we will explore advanced masking techniques available in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) that can be used to select those parts of your image that, when adjusted, can make your images truly your own.
We will explore the strengths and weaknesses of AI masks used to select items such as Sky, Subject, Landscape, and People, as well as Manual masks (Brush, Linear, and Radial Gradients) and Range masks including Color, Luminance, and Depth. Moreover, modification and refinement of these basic masks through adding masks together, subtracting one mask from another and intersecting masks with each other will allow the creation of complex, targeted masks that are unique to your image and which will allow you to bring your vision to life.

Showcase: Iran’s Culture & Architecture, Tom Getz

Mon. February 16
“Iran’s Culture & Architecture” – Next
Presenter: Tom Getz
Location: Clubhouse 7
Doors open at 6:30 for refreshments
Presentations start at 7PM
Tom Getz will present a new show on Iran’s cultural, architecture and scenic aspects. The show will include major cities, tourist sites and the scenery connecting them: Tehran, Qazvin, Tabriz, Kerman, Yadz, Isfahan and Shiraz.
We begin in Tehran will the magnificent palace of Golestan, and the nearby National Museum of Iran with the finest collection of art and artifacts in Iran. More art will be seen in the Raza Abbassi Museum, and surprisingly contemporary art in the parks. The finest carpets of colorful designs were seen in Iran’s famous carpet museum. Before leaving Tehran, we visit the White Palace and the Green Palace, both richly furnished.
Traveling north we spend several hours at the extremely elaborately decorated Imam Zadeh Mausoleum, and then walked through our first of many markets and shops. Next was the doubled-shelled restored archeology site: Dome of Soltanieh, the largest brick domed structure in the world. Now a UNESCO Heritage site.
Travelling further north through scenery reminiscent of the Dakoda badlands we arrive at Tabriz for a three-day visit that featured an Armenian Monastery, plus the famous Blue Mosque, nicely restored and recently a museum.
Next was a southern flight to the desert city of Kerman to see the Shazdeh Mahan Gardena and Palace. Next was a highly decorated bathhouse: Hammam-e-Vikil. Now mostly an exhibit center; there we enjoyed a live musical performance at lunch.
Traveling again overland we learn about the still active Zoroastrian religion. The ruins of their Dakmeh (Tower of Silence) and an active temple are open. Also seen in Yadz were several honeycomb mosques, a beautiful garden ((Dolat Abat), and a rather unusual men’s exercise club, where we were allowed to take videos. Every visitor to Iran spends a day at Persepolis, one of the most famous archeology sites in the world, famous for its bas relief and double-bull capitals or bull protomes. Still in the desert, we gaze up at the ancient carved sites of Persian kings’ burials, often depicting a battle scene.
Shiraz, another city visited by all, features both honey-combed and domed mosques, palaces and mausoleums, plus the Naranjestan Gardens and Palace.
Our final destination before travelling overland to Tehran, was Isfahan, featuring large complex of palaces and mosques, and the giant Ali Qapu Palace, with beautiful interior designs, especially ceilings. Tom was able to photograph the most interesting markets, and many candid images of men, women and children. Perhaps Tom’s most memorable image of Iran were the children yelling “we love you” and jumping and waving, all caught on video.
Our final visit in Isfahan was to Vank, a highly decorated Armenian Apostolic (Orthodox) Cathedral, with pictures of Bible scenes and/or a vision of heaven and hell on every wall and ceiling. Our final formal event was the Vank Armenian Museum with ancient illustrated Bibles, jewelry and clothing.
The show will be accompanied by live narration and ethnic music.
