High Key Setup Visual Aid
One of the challenges we face is finding the time to update our visual aids for our digital photography classes. After having drawn this setup many times on the chalk board, we finally found a few moments to make a digital version of it! What do you think?
Students in Action!
For yesterday’s photography class, we decided to take an outing to Cox Arboretum for some photography. Cox is a beautiful Metropark not far from the Dayton Mall, and boats large flower gardens, ponds, a stream and even an “edible landscape” vegetable, herb and fruit garden. It’s always a great setting for photography, and we weren’t disappointing again yesterday. The unusually mild weather help contribute to an awesome photography outing.
While we got a number of beautiful images, and we’ll share them later, here’s some we captured of our students in action!
Practicing before class!
We caught one of our students shooting clouds as a subject today before the afternoon class at the Middletown Arts Center! This session will be over before you know it and the next session will be starting soon. Have you signed up yet?
Talking about histograms!
It was a fun class session today as we talked about histograms and the wisdom of over or underexposing your images depending on your goals.
It would seem we need to work on our visual aids! 😉

Some Smoke?
Here’s one from our last Photography class session at the Middletown Arts Center. Capturing images of smoke is challenging from both an exposure and a focus standpoint. This one was done using a yellow gel over the flash.
Jim’s Project
Check out the project that one of our recent students is working on! Jimmy Smith is taking his images and making bookmarks out of them! Way to go Jim, they look great!
