Renowned photographer Royce Bair to host nightscape star shooting seminar

03-29-2014 (http://www.suindependent.com/)

Photographers with DSLR cameras can become proficient in shooting the night sky more easily and quickly than they might think.

Because of the recent advanced technology of our digital cameras, professional photographers or enthusiastic amateurs can now capture the Milky Way and the constellations, which are usually barely visible to the naked eye. Making the image even more interesting is the addition of foreground features to place the sky in context, and photographers can learn to do this with light painting. All this is available through the DSLR’s low-light sensitivity. Photographers just need to become familiar with using and adjusting the camera’s manual features such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance, and have the correct wide angle lens.

Click Photography Club of St. George will host a technical seminar on the art of star shooting, which will be presented by Royce Bair of Nightscape Meetup. The seminar will take place on Thursday, April 10 from 8-10:30 p.m. and is open to both Click members and nonmembers. Pre-event discounts are offered at http://BIT.LY/PTX4V7.

Buying a camera: everything you need to know

By: By David Pierce and Vlad Savov (www.theverge.com)

Cameras are everywhere. There’s one in your laptop, two in your phone, and probably a pair in your tablet that you’ve never used. There’s maybe one in your doorbell, even, or strapped to your head while you bomb the slopes. We’re taking more pictures in more ways and sharing them in more places than ever. Yet most of us use our cameras with the bare minimum of knowledge, just pointing and shooting and hoping for an Instagrammable moment. And even if you’re buying a camera because you’re ready to move beyond your iPhone and take pictures you’ll want to save forever, it’s hard to know what to do.

Camera companies don’t exactly make life easy, either. Spec sheets are laden with alien terms like ISO and f-numbers, and once you manage to get a grasp on what they mean, you’re still confronted with a spectacular variety of options. So we’ve put together this guide to help you navigate the quagmire of excess information, acronyms, and jargon. It’ll enlighten you about which specs are important when, and what cameras are suitable for whom. Sound good? Then read on!
