October 6 – The Silver Spring Camera Club welcomes back Nikhil Bahl as October speaker
The Silver Spring Camera Club welcomes back Nikhil Bahl as its October speaker.
Nikhil is a full-time professional photographer, author, educator, workshop instructor and environmentalist. He resides in the Washington D.C. Area.
His presentation will focus on techniques for creating dynamic images. He maintains that while a great light display can lead to attractive images, a good photographer does not rely on great light to create compelling images. From capturing energy and motion to the serene and surreal, Nikhil will talk about techniques and ideas that you can use to create dynamic images. He will also give you insights into how and when these techniques are best applied.
Meeting at 7:30 PM, October 6, 2016
