The Delta Photo Club is pleased to welcome back Francois Cleroux on Wednesday, December 4th, 7:15 – 9:30, at the Kin Village Community Centre for his presentation “Tripod-ology.”

Do you always leave your tripod at home? Time to learn how to effectively use your tripod to bring your photography to a new level and how to let your tripod be your inspiration to more creative photography.

In the Tripod-ology class Francois will discuss tripod hardware and how to properly use your tripod. The basics of getting ultra sharp images will also be covered along with special techniques to reduce or increase depth-of-field, decrease noise in images, increasing dynamic range and increasing resolution in your images.

Creative uses for self portraits, panoramas, macro photography, ICM, low light, night photography, painting with light, long exposure, and time lapse photography will be examined along with other creative uses.

Time permitting, Francois will examine how the tripod can be used along with post processing techniques for creative trick photography for creating ‘twins’, erasing people from scenes, gloating people, creating ghosts and other tricks.

Guests welcome, $10 at the door. www.deltaphotoclub.com
