Oct 17th - Zoom - "Cape Cod Seascapes and Night Skies" presented by Nancy Orbe
I am a nature photographer residing in the small town of Brewster on Cape Cod with my husband Mike. Originally from Westport, MA I fell in love with photography at an early age.
Primarily a wildlife, nature, and land/seascape artist my camera is always with me! I truly believe an image should tell a story and invoke emotion. To capture a moment that delivers such feeling is hard to come by and the greatness of "being at the right place at the right time" really takes hold. An avid traveler I have explored & continue to explore many places in pursuit of my passion however Brewster and beautiful Cape Cod are home and that's more than likely where you will find me and my camera!
There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what you are....
During my presentation we will be discussing photographing seascapes using slow shutter speeds and intentional camera movement with some along with the traditional camera settings. We will touch upon using layers in PS to create images. Knowing your camera & settings well enough to change on the fly when the situation changes.
I will also talk about photographing the night sky.....equipment needed, settings, etc. to capture our galaxy!

Upcoming Workshops
Macro Hands-On with Shiv Verma
Sat Oct 26 9AM-Noon $15 per member
Registration opens Oct 3rd at 5 pm Only 8 slots available
Macro photography lets you explore and create exciting photographs of a whole new and intimate world. Zeroing in to create an interesting abstract or just filling the frame with a tiny flower, insect, or jewel. This is the hands-on segment, a follow up to last year’s program that addressed the challenges you'll face with Macro Photography and the methods and tools used to overcome those challenges. We will deal with the lighting, equipment, and several techniques to get better images. This includes selecting the appropriate equipment, lighting and stacking.
You will capture images to understand the importance of Depth-of-Field as it affects Macro Photos. You will learn how to create high-magnification images using macro lenses, tubes, and diopters. In addition, you will learn how to create one completely focused image from several partially focused images. This focus stacking technique is ideal for macro-photography as well as landscape photography when the sharpness of the entire scene is important.
NOTE: There will be a pre-workshop Zoom session (which will be recorded) to familiarize registered attendees with the process of focus stacking using Photoshop and Helicon Focus.
