Presenter: Paul Keske
Paul Keske is an amateur photographer residing in Ashland, Ohio. Paul developed a serious interest in photography while in high school and has continued this journey through his entire adult life. After decades of practicing film photography Paul switched to a digital format in 2008. Paul enjoys many forms of photography including landscapes, nature and macro photography. He enjoys creative processing, combining his work with textures and other media to create new realities. Paul is a member and current President of the Ashland Photography club and a member of The Wilderness Center Nature Photography Club, The Richland County Camera Club, The Cleveland Photographic Society and the Photography Club at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens.
Paul is currently teaching a Fundamentals of Photography class at the Ashland, Ohio Kroc Center and is co-leading a group that meets weekly at the Trinity Lutheran Church teaching Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Photoshop Elements. Paul has previously acted as a Juror for the Richland Camera Club and the Western Reserve Photographic Society as well as for an online contest sponsored by the Wooster Camera Club. Paul is also a frequent program presenter for a number of local area camera clubs and community organizations.
Program: Camera Fundamentals: Part 1
Program Information: Taking pictures today is easy, even with a sophisticated DSLR or Mirrorless camera. These camera’s all have full Auto modes that allow you to take good pictures without much thought. However, taking control of your camera to create the image that YOU want requires some knowledge and skill. Knowing which exposure mode to use and how to use it effectively is a big step in taking control of your camera and taking control of the images you produce. In this two-part series the camera’s exposure modes will be explored. You will learn the practical side of using Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and the Manual Mode and the why’s behind choosing one over another. Along the way we will explore both the technical and the artistic reasons to choose an exposure mode and how to control each of these.
Shooting Topic: Winter Landscape (No hand of man)
Refreshments: Wendy Schumacher
Bulletin Board Reminder: Denise and Eric Bacher (Jan. 26 - March 23)
