Here is an important and useful video on a topic of interest to us all!

Here’s a compilation, put together by Darlene Hildebrand, which wonderfully demonstrates how powerful a single photograph can be. Take a look.  Exactly why does each photo have such an impact?  What emotion does each raise in you and is that what makes it so important, or is there another reason?

Which other, recent photos would you add to this list?

The photographs are ready for hanging, the slide and video program is ready for prime time, the baking and the preparation of those delicious cocktail sandwiches is underway – everything is being made ready for our 10th annual Photo Exhibition.

Tell your friends, tell your neighbours – it all takes place on Sunday.

See you there!

If we look at a landscape photo and the horizon isn’t level. it almost immediately and uncomfortably catches our eye and distracts us from appreciating the subject.

As photographers, it is important then that we make sure our photos are level.  Many cameras have a built-in level, or you can use a bubble level on your tripod.  Or you can correct an off-kilter image in post-processing.  Easy eh?

Well, not quite so fast as this article from Photography Life shows.
