Make a Quantum Leap in Your Digital Photography

Page 1 Photo - © C Cross |

Your digital camera is a power tool; a computer that measures light 300x/second. It sends infrared to your subject and zooms the lens for perfect focus. It calculates f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, flash synch, and more faster than you can squeeze the trigger and get a perfect picture in 1/10,000 of a second.

PhotoQuest101 Meetups help you master the machine in a fun social environment and show you how to leap from the realm of 'snapshots' to magazine quality photographs.

Already a Master Photographer? Hop on board and share your favorite techniques in a workshop or other outing. We will meet in a variety of interesting and unusual locations in order to get the photos that everyone else missed. We will meet to share and discuss our digital images. We will have talks and discussions about equipment, accessories and in-camera and post-production techniques.

Whether you're a photojournalist, a portraitist, commercial, free-lance, amateur, professional or fine art photographer you will enjoy a series of Photo Quest Adventures and learn a great deal of simple technical magic that will advance your photography in many ways.

We all have computers. We all have digital cameras. The Age of New Media requests the pleasure of our images. Lehigh Valley PhotoQuest is where we learn how and why to make our photos a meaningful and valuable contribution.

We'll shoot in public spaces and we'll occasionally venture into off-limits locations in stealth mode. We'll take photos of everything with some particular objectives for every outing. We'll shoot old rusting autos and weathered barns, mushrooms, flowers, public gatherings, parades and festivals.

We'll make excursions to the inner city and rural parks and trails. We'll discover out of the way places and learn to capture photos that make you want to take a second look. We'll learn to engage people to pose for spontaneous portraits and we'll have a great time in the process.

Every member will have their own online album to display their selected works. We will all have an opportunity to give and receive constructive criticism.
