January 2008 Digital Photography Forum

During the December Forum, our topic was Understanding Exposure.  We discussed various light metering patterns available in the basic digital camera and examined the various exposure modes, such as Auto, Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and various scenic modes.  The histogram, a tool used to evaluate exposure, was also discussed along with the EXIF data stored in the jpeg image files.

For our next Forum in January, we will discuss the Restoration of Old Photos.  We will start with a discussion on choosing an appropriate scanning resolution and then discuss several basic techniques to remove dust and mold from the scanned images.  We will also discuss how to improve the tone and contrast, correct exposure, and correct color shifts.

Note: The January Meeting will be on January 08. (The Second Tuesday)

The Digital Photography Forum is held from 6:15 – 7:00 pm on the secondTuesday this month, before the General Meeting.   We will be meeting in Room I at the Cultural Center.  Hope to see you there.
