Tonight\u2019s Education and Training will feature presentations by NVPS members Jeff Hancock and John Naman accompanied by renowned abstract artist Joe Miller.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The NVPS Abstracts Workshop is intended to demonstrate some ideas and techniques for creating abstract photos in your own home. Bring your camera! Cell phone up to DSLR with close-up. We will make several table-top setups to unleash your creativity, experiment, and have some photographic fun! This workshop ties to a popular survey topic: Composition and Creativity. Exhibit Opportunity: the workshop is scheduled to help members prepare images to submit to the 4th Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit in March, 2014.  Jeff Hancock will also demonstrate techniques for generating in-camera abstracts using techniques such as zooming, spinning, panning, and swirling.  Some examples can be seen here:   https:\/\/nvps.smugmug.com\/NVPSGallery\/PortfolioProject\/2010-2011-Portfolio-Project\/Jeff-Hancock\/.<\/a><\/p>\n
