On March 12th we’ll have an educational session on basic photography presented by Scott Musson. Scott is well known for his presentations on digital workflow, color management, Photoshop, Lightroom, Architecture Photography and Black Light Photography. This presentation will focus on photography fundamentals, particularly on capture basics.
Scott will discuss basic equipment choices and basic capture techniques. This will include a discussion of available camera types, lenses and accessories. Scott will also discuss the basics of image exposure including aperture, shutter speed and the mysterious ISO.
While this presentation is geared toward novice’s photographers, it will also help reinforce the basics and suggestion good techniques for those who already know their way around the camera.
Hope you’ll join us for Capture Basics
Scott Musson – Images with Imagination
Scott Musson is a photographer, lecturer and frequently critiques, speaks and judges at photography organizations and clubs in the Northern Virginia and Washington DC metropolitan area. A Photographer of the Year for the Northern Virginia Photographic Society (NVPS), Scott has published a photo calendar with his wife, Emi for the past ten years.
“Photography is a natural extension of my love for travel”, says Scott. “While I’ve taken pictures all my life, it wasn’t until I was older and could afford to travel that my passion for photography truly developed. I love the whole process of photography: planning a shoot, getting up early to catch the light, processing the images (nowadays digitally), and printing and matting.”
Scott has a passion for photography in and around water. He has been capturing images while snorkeling for a number of years. “I would snorkel everyday if I could,” Scott says, and tries to makes several excursions a year to the tropics to enjoy this aspect of photography. Additionally Scott enjoys architectural and black light photography.
Scott just received a special merit award at the prestigious Annual Joe Miller Abstract Exhibit. He recently judged the Huntley Meadows Annual Competition, performed an anonymous critique at NVPS, and was the end of year judge for the North Bethesda Camera Club. Additionally he recently appeared on Aim Behind the Lens on Arlington Cable Access. The episode is available on Youtube.com.
Scott and his wife Emi have had a number of photographs used in the sets of major motion pictures. Scott’s photo “Lightning Steve” was a prominent backdrop in the motion picture “Wonderful World” starring Matthew Broderick.
Scott is a past president of NVPS and has served on its board for several years. He has been Vice President of Competition and of Programs for that organization and for the past several years has been the website manager. He has received the NVPS “Versatile Photographer of the Year” award and the “Advanced Photographer of the Year” award for Prints and Digital Projected Images.

“Every day we walk by beauty and wonder in this world, but often we fail to recognize it. My love of photography has brought me new vision and new appreciation for the common, ordinary and familiar objects in our world. As we commute to work, or go about our daily business we only need to use the lens of our imagination and appreciation of light to see beauty in the world. Learning to see is a journey, not a destination. Each day we can expand our vision by opening our mind and looking at our world in new an interesting ways.”
