First Meeting Agenda

A couple people have asked what we'll be doing at the first meeting, so here it be.


I want to talk about Ansel Adams and his work (and one of his quotes...the one at the top of the page, actually). Many of his most famous photographs are of nature, but are they really "natural?" (Hint: NO!) We will briefly go over his Zone System and how it still applies today and can help us all make better pictures (and how the histogram helps with that).
Drama. It's all about the drama, baby!
So, until the 12th (for those of you who plan to attend), here's a photo I made last Saturday, applying the Zone System.
see you soon!
