Since I first started in photography I have felt that strong compositional elements are the key to a good image. One needs the technical prowess to get a technically sound photograph: sharp where it needs to be, proper exposure, etc.… […]
I want to thank everyone who came out on a very cold night Tuesday to Western Reserve Photographic Society to hear my presentation on travel photography. We had a standing room only crowd of members and guests from other clubs/areas.… […]
