Backing Up Your Photos
by Chane Cullin and Bill Dillane
Do you think you can find your digital photos from 5 years ago? What about 5 years from now? You have 1,000s or 10,000s or 100,000s of digital photos “somewhere.” But, where are your photos from 10 years ago? Digital photos are often at risk of a single failure or mistake that causes the loss of a decade of family photos and memories. Today, we’ll look at several methods to preserve them.

Go from ho-hum to wow by learning to improve your image quality, how to enhance your image easily, and understanding what makes a photo terrific.

Developing Creativity and Exploring Motion and Gesture
by Mark Battista
NoHCC welcomes Mark Battista on Tuesday, Oct. 4th at 7pm for two new recently created online presentations on Developing Creativity followed by Exploring Motion and Gesture.
The presentation on developing creativity will focus on various ways of coming up with ideas that can be used to compose creative style photography shots.
The talk on motion is another way to look at using the camera in a slightly unusual way. So often photographers want to freeze action, but this talk is focused on embracing motion and blur.
Mark graduated from Paier College of Art. While at Paier he was awarded ‘The Outstanding Illustration Major Award’. He is an award winning and nationally recognized painter and fine art photographer specializing in still life and portrait imagery. Mark is a juried member of New York’s Salmagundi Club where he has several works of art and also a member of the American Artist Professional League in NYC.Mark’s most recent endeavor is the publication of two new e-books Composition, Shooting with Intent and Creating Still Life Photography With A Painterly Approach.
Mark has two eBooks available. See images below for details.
