\nwith a critical eye. We will discuss the photographer\u2019s light clock, quality of light and the\u00a0effect light has on a subject. The objective is to be able to scrutinize the light in an
\nanalytical way before taking that award-winning photograph. Examples will be used\u00a0from images taken by the presenter at different times during the day. Similar subjects
\nwill be explored showing different qualities of light and direction to emphasize the basic\u00a0principles of \u201cshooting the light.\u201d<\/p>\n
\ninterests are in Macro, Landscape and Wildlife photography with an occasional dappling\u00a0in non-nature photography of interesting subjects related to architecture, history and\u00a0general pictorial subjects.<\/p>\n
