Getting the Whole Picture

Photographers know how difficult it is to reproduce some of the things they can see. That’s because their cameras don’t perceive what they do. Photographers can set their camera’s exposure for light areas in an image, like the windows in this photograph, or for dark areas against the walls of the stairway. But not for both, which is where high dynamic range photography comes in. Joseph Meehan, professional photographer, teacher, writer and Salisbury resident since 1979 will be talking about this technique at the Housatonic Camera Club meeting at Noble Horizons, May 17 at 7 p.m. For information, call 845-677-9954.
