Digital Photography Dan Feighery OLLI Photograpy Club Dan Feighery, member of WACUG and one of OLLI's premier photographers, will present “Digital Photography” at the February 18th joint meeting of OPCUG and WACUG. Dan's characterized this session as plowing the digital photo field “a mile wide and an inch deep.” He will discuss general concepts of digital cameras, including types and specifications, basic automatic picture taking and bundled software, the histogram, pixels and aspect ration. Other topics will focus on color management, white balance, and grain. Dan will also examine camera lens factors, such as focal length, crop factor, angle of view, zoom ratio, and depth of field. He'll tackle the exposure triangle – aperture, shutter speed, and chip sensitivity. Dan's previous offerings to the group have been knockouts – be sure not to miss this one!
