How to Take and Make a Better Photo with Neil le Nobel

This presentation will appeal to novice and intermediate photographers wanting to improve their photographic technique by putting more "wow" into their photos. A basic explanation of photographic parameters that govern the capture of a good photo will be presented using many illustrative photos. The talk will include a number of techniques that the novice photographer can use to make creative photos without the use of expensive software. "In-camera" techniques that make use of on-board camera software will also be discussed. 

You'll learn about good photographic composition by the use of proper placement of subject matter and favorable shadow and light conditions that help enhance photos. The talk will end with a short series of amateur award winning photos.

Neil le Nobel has been an amateur photographer for thirty years. He is currently the Past President and Competitions Chair of the Richmond Photo Club. He is a photographic judge amongst the Lower Mainland camera clubs as well an online judge for the Canadian photographic community, and a member of the Canadian Association of Photographic Art.
