Have
you been doing your reading of dacs.doc lately? If so, you probably
have spotted the recent informative series on photography by
Richard P. Ten Dyke. The articles went into much detail, enabling
readers to become (almost) professional photographers and producers
of pictures. Your curiosity may have been piqued by some topics
that you would like to explore in a little more depth.
We will have that opportunity at
the DACS General Meeting, when Mr. Ten Dyke will demonstrate
the basics of digital photography, and explain what's new and
why we should be interested. He intends to elaborate on the following:
 Scanning
a photo
- Using a flatbed scanner
- Using a film scanner
Selecting and using a digital camera
- Loading the image into the computer
- Choosing megapixels for intended
use
- CCD vs. CMOS
- Selecting aperture and shutter
speed
- Depth of field differences
- Using flash
- Using Zoom and Macro lenses
- About batteries
Choosing and using file formats
- jpeg, gif, sting, raw, psd, tiff,
bmp
Editing (with Photoshop Elements)
- Resizing an image
- Brightness and contrast
- Masking
- Using Layers
Printing an image
- Choosing Paper and Ink
- Choosing proper resolution
- Color management”
The March meeting is another DACS
home-grown presentation. Richard P. Ten Dyke is a DACS member
with interest in photography that dates from 1952. DACS members
will be fortunate to take advantage of fifty years of photography
experience. Richard says that he will make necessary demonstrations
when appropriate and that members of the audience will be invited
to ask questions between major topics.
The meeting will be held March 4th
at at 7pm at Danbury
Hospital Auditorium. The public is invited; bring a friend.
