I have been asked to be the guest speaker at the August 5th, 2014 meeting of the Photographic Society of Northwest Arkansas (PSNWA).   The meeting will be at the Whole Hog Cafe in Bentonville AR at 7:00 pm., and is free and open to the public, guests are always welcome.

PSNWA provides opportunities to anyone interested in Photography (either Film or Digital camera), whether in a Studio or hiking through the outdoors. More than a photography club, member photographers enjoy benefits such as free classes, tours, publications, and more. Join today and begin to interact with a community of people with a common interest in photography. Please take advantage of what the PSNWA, can offer.

For outdoor photographer the sky is the one thing that we photograph the most.  The sky is an important part of landscape photography and can make  a photo great, or completely ruin the image.  Many times we have no choice about the sky in our photos, this is the only time we will be able to photograph a particular location.  Greg Disch will answer all of your questions about how to make the best photos with the sky that you have.

 

  • How much sky should you have in your photo?
  • What makes a good sky or a bad sky?
  • Why would I want to shoot in RAW?
  • How do you deal with a blown out sky?
  • Why would I not want clouds?
  • Is the sky the subject?
  • Do I need the sky in my photo?
  • Where should I place the horizon?
  • What is high dynamic range?
  • Why and when should I use a polarizing filter?
  • What is a graduated neutral density filter?
  • When is a grey sky great for photography?

 

I will also present a slideshow presentation from a fabulous fall photo trip in Colorado last year.
