Gene Morita, [email protected] Joan Field, [email protected] Berkeley Camera Club CONTRA COSTA CAMERA CLUB ED NIGHT Q.T. Luong is a full-time freelance nature and travel photographer from San Jose. Born to Vietnamese parents in France, he was trained as a scientist (PhD U. Paris). The revelation of the high Alps led him to become a mountain climber and wilderness guide. When he came to the US to conduct research in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing, he fell in love with the National Parks. After he became the first to photograph all of them in large format, Ken Burns featured him in "The National Parks: America's Best Idea" (2009). He has been profiled in more than a dozen press articles (eg, Boston Globe, National Geographic Explorer, Parks Magazine, Outdoor Photographer) and called a "modern master." His photographs have been published in three dozen countries, are the subject of two coffee table books, and have been seen in museum and gallery solo exhibits on both US coasts. All photos © Q.T. Luong Visitors are Welcome A $5 donation from guests outside of the Contra Costa Camera Club will be requested. June 2013 Page 2 of 17 PSA Annual Conference: Overview http://www.psa-photo.org/conference/ One of the most enjoyable activities of PSA is the week- long Annual Conference. The Annual Conference is held in September or October in a different location each year. All locations are in the United States because of the difficulty in transporting the prints, society supplies, and awards across borders. The past PSA Conference locations illustrate the great variety of photography settings that participants have enjoyed. Background information can be found in the history of the PSA Annual Conference that was prepared for the PSA 75th Anniversary. During the Annual Conference registrants can participate in photo tours, classes, workshops, and photo shoots. There is an Opening Meeting of the Society with award presentations, an extensive Print Exhibition, a variety of programs, featured speakers in the evenings, social events, a vendor area with product demonstrations, numerous photographic activities, and a Banquet on the last evening. The PSA Annual Conference is the social event of the year. For many members, it is their first PSA activity. The Conference is a great way to meet people, have a personal encounter with someone whose photography is known, and renew longtime acquaintances. Beginning April 1 each year, http://www.psa-photo.org/conference includes all the information needed to register for the PSA Annual Conference: 2013 PSA Conference, Portland, Maine Conference Hotel Photo Tours Classes & Workshops Meetings Schedule Tours, Classes, Programs & Workshops Schedule Meals Vendor Area Featured Speakers Conference Registration Form Pre & Post- Conference Photo Trips Translations June 2013 Page 3 of 17 Amory’s Crazy Photo Contest Winners!!!

  • The Time-Lapse Holy Grail
    Granite Bay Software The Time-lapse Holy Grail www.granitebaysoftware.com The Time-lapse Holy Grail How to use GBTimelapse with Autoramp For Expert Users – and the curious! By Mike Posehn, Ph.D., aka Dr. Timelapse A great time-lapse is all about change and movement. However, changing light conditions often wreak havoc on your footage, resulting in brighter and darker frames which appear as annoying flicker in your time-lapse. Capturing a smooth time-lapse of a sunset from full daylight to darkest night, without flicker, has been called the “Time-lapse Holy Grail” because it has been practically impossible to achieve. However, you can now achieve this Holy Grail with GBTimelapse! In this White Paper, I describe the challenge of The Time-lapse Holy Grail and take you through the process of getting it with GBTimelapse. GBTimelapse has been used for National Geographic videography, the Brazil 2016 Summer Olympics preparations, Thursday Night Football network footage, and much, much more. GBTimelapse is a powerful tool that gives you control over many factors of your time-lapse capture. This White Paper will give you examples of the high tech calculations going on under the hood, what factors you can modify, and ideas for how to use GBTimelapse to best suit your needs. Granite Bay Software The Time-lapse Holy Grail www.granitebaysoftware.com Table of Contents Skip straight to the Holy Grail How-To, Expert Method and Easy Expert Method sections to get right to work.

This is a common feature on top of many cameras made in the past 100 years. The precise dimensions of the shoe vary from camera to camera so if initially if the fit of your meter is tight, it will “wear” slightly over the first several uses and become more free-moving. This is not a problem as there are integrated lever springs to ensure the meter does not fall out of the camera mount.

Ø Few distinct shadows on subject Ø No specular highlights Ø Lower contrast Ø “Flat” look Ø Very good at rendering details 3) FILL LIGHT AKA DIRECT/DIFFUSED DIRECTIONAL LIGHT, WHICH HAS BEEN SOFTENED BY ILLUMINATION OF SHADOW AREAS. TYPICALLY Ø Best of direct and diffused lights combined Ø More normal contrast relationships Ø Good “3-D” characteristics Ø Good shadow detail Ø Best general portrait lighting Ø “Natural” look Copyright 2010 by Eric Bosler For this assignment: Take 3 images of each different lighting type listed above using a different shutter speed or f-stop for each, for a total of nine (9) images this technique is known as a {bracket} Materials: 1.
