LANCE KUEHNE

Subjects

We will focus on the greenery appearing at this time, we may also photograph the vine supports, and surrounding natural landscape such as the woods, hills and wetlands. The weather can range from a sunny cloudless day to occasional rain this time of year. We will mostly photograph near our vehicles and drive on good roads.

 

Our Focus

Using histograms, the workshop will focus on how to photograph in harsh light, capturing detail in both the light and dark areas of a scene. If it is overcast, we will go over the settings needed to get vibrant pictures.
