  • 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.

  • November 2007 Digital Photography Forum

    During the October Forum, we continued our discussion of some of the basic settings used in a typical digital camera. Specifically, we examined those commands found in the record or shoot menu and the playback menu. For the next forum in November, we will shift our focus to editing digital images. A typical workflow that should be used in the correction or enhancement of digital images will be presented. Although Photoshop Elements will be used to demonstrate the various image adjustments, the workflow to be discussed will apply to all image editing programs.

  • Computer Classes – A Website Change

    Since we are introducing classes at the Center for Independent Living in September, the number of different locations where classes are held has grown to three. This makes it difficult for those intrested in attending classes to see at a glance what is available and where. Presently you must check the schedule at the Salvation Army page and the General meeting page.
