Take your photography to the next level!

Presented by Ross Laing with Manfred Mueller

This presentation will focus on the distinction between taking pictures vs. making pictures.

During the approximately 1-hour presentation, attendees will review images which illustrate 10 common photography mistakes to be avoided, followed by 20 ways and techniques to improve their images.

The presentation will be of particular interest to KSCCC members new to photography or more experienced photographers looking to refresh their picture making skills.

The wearing of masks and physical distancing is recommended during the presentation.
