Atlanta Pen Show - Photography Seminar Notes
Submitted by mbacas on Tue, 03/24/2009 - 16:26. Images and PhotographyFirst let me say that if you were at the show and came to my seminar, "Thanks!".
Things to set in your camera
1. Set your camera to a manual mode if available.
2. Turn off the flash.
2. Use manual focus.
3. Set your camera for aperture priority and to F8 (or the highest setting you have). This will increase your depth of field.
Setup
1. Get a tripod.
2. Use a self timer.
3. Get a light box or tub of some kind.
4. If using a tub also use a white fabric sheet or something to defuse the light.
His Nibs.com update -- Back in the saddle
Submitted by His Nibs on Thu, 03/05/2009 - 13:52. For Sale - BusinessesHis Nibs.com update -- Back in the saddle
Hello all,
Sorry for the delay since the last newsletter update. As
many of you know, my wife Teresa's oldest brother
passed away about a month ago, and we spent some
time in Ohio with her family. My mother just passed
away this past Saturday, February 28th -- so it's been
a rather rough start to the new year. I'm happy to share
a recent article on my mom. She had a very interesting,
and very full life: http://phiggy.blogspot.com/. It's
toward the bottom of the page. Please understand
Atlanta Pen Show - 2009
Submitted by mbacas on Wed, 02/18/2009 - 16:07.I'm really looking forward to the new show. Last year I got a table but this year I don't think I will. I much prefer walking around and visiting with other's.
I'll also be doing a seminar on Sunday about photography with regards to pen photography and also doing it "on the cheap".
Hope to see you there. Get your rooms if you haven't already. All the details are at: http://www.atlantapenshow.com.
Regards,
- Mark
