Alan Weinschel will conduct an interactive workshop on converting to black and white. Many images gain power when converted to black and white.
Sometimes the image is somewhat monochromatic to start with.
Other images have powerful shapes that are better rendered in black and white, and sometimes black and white is important in conveying a somber mood.
Alan would like to make this meeting interactive. Please feel free to bring some of your images on a USB drive and Alan will work through the different kinds of black and white conversions that are possible.
Alan has used SilverEfex 2 and he will demonstrate some of the possible conversions. SilverEfex is not the only tool, of course. Adobe Camera Raw con convert to black and white as well, so if you have raw images those are welcome too!

Art Goldberg will present images from his recent trip to Hawaii, “Capturing the Moment: Lanai and Oahu.”
Art wrote:
“Shooting pictures has always been an exhilarating experience for me. My camera is always with me wherever I travel.
“I am inspired by nature’s fundamental beauty. Some of my best moments are when I am in the bush alone and feel the primeval essence of natural world. Photography becomes an extension of my love affair with nature and I seek to preserve those moments of rare beauty with my lens.”
“Sometimes I focus on a specific geographic region. My most rewarding experiences, however, are those when I happen to be in the right place at the perfect moment to observe those rare and fleeting images of nature. During these times I am in the “zone”, totally immersed in capturing my subject with my camera.
“My goal is to capture images that evoke an emotional high in me and to then share these images with others.”
