Des Plaines Camera Club October Programs

The first October meeting will focus on enhancing your own skills.

The October 13 meeting will be "Bring Your Camera Night." You will be able to practice with various tabletop and lighting setups. Work with the other photographers to discuss pros and cons of various techniques and receive help from the many very experienced and professional photographers in the club.

Save October 27 for a presentation by John Batdorff, a Chicago based photographer. John specializes in black and white. John will walk us through his workflow in converting images to black and white in both Lightroom and NIK and also describe his work in the NIK Color conversion program. He is the author of two books: 'Black and White from Snapshots to Great Shots' and 'Plug in With NIK'.
