Join Sandi Croan for an evening of analyzing photographs that don’t quite make the grade but can be improved with some magic through software. We have all taken photos that we wished could be re-taken, but that’s not possible. These photos fall into the gray area of not to be
\ntossed out, but by some clever post-processing can be restored to life. Maybe they contain just minor flaws and so Sandi will attempt to resurrect these photos with some clever approaches. Sandi will be using Adobe’s Lightroom and a few plugins on a dozen selected photos.<\/p>\n

Please join us for what will be an interesting evening with one of our more renowned photographers.<\/p>\n

Sandi began her photography journey seriously in 2003 by taking Wayne Wolfenberger’s Photography 101 and 102 through Fairfax County Adult Rec. At Wayne’s recommendation, she joined NVPS in March of 2004 and has been inspired, grown tremendously and met many wonderful people.<\/p>\n
