Thursday, October 10, 2019 - 6:00pm
Judge: 
Ellis Rosenberg
Theme: 
The "Blue Hour"

Capturing the Magic Before Sunrise and After Sunset: The blue hour is the period of twilight in the morning or evening when the sun is far enough below the horizon that the sky takes on a wonderful shades of blue—a color invisible to your eye but revealed by a long exposure with your camera. Long exposures, of course, require a tripod and other tools and techniques you may not be familiar with. The following website will give you some good pointers on shooting during the blue hour: https://digital-phot.... And to help you further, we’ll be offering a workshop on the same subject.

The judge for our October meeting will be Ellis Rosenberg, a photographer from Reston, VA. Ellis has served as Chair of the Reston Photographic Society, as a board member of the League of Reston Artists, and as a board member of the Nature Visions Photo Expo. He is a graduate of the NVACC / Joe Miller Seminar on Judging and has judged many photography competitions over the years.

In his presentation, Ellis will share his insights on photography competitions, the judging process, and how each judge's biases and personal preferences can affect the way an image is interpreted and evaluated. You can see examples of Ellis's photography at http://imagesbyellis.smugmug.com/
