What’s Happening

    • Speaker Martin Ross - Impact in Nature Photography: In photography, impact is an elusive quality that separates eye-catching images from ordinary ones.  Yet, as obvious as impact can be it often defies explanation and simply slips through our fingers as we attempt to analyze an image.  This presentation looks beyond the smoke and mirrors of impact and reveals the very practical, underlying elements that work together to create the wow factor of great nature photographs, with applicability to photography in general.
