The meeting takes a short break while the demonstration is set up

The presentation was on "simple ways to improve your photographs" by Kurt Hertzog

While most demos make chips, this was to help turners do a better job of taking pictures of their turnings

Over the course of the demo, Kurt covered end use driven decisions, types and control of lighting, composition, best exposure, tips & tricks, and after exposure alterations

Kurt shows a simple, low cost "light tent" to control lighting

He shows the effect of single vs multiple lights, bounce, and diffusion

Kurt shows the effect of distractions caused by seams, other objects, and conflicting points of focus

The beauty of projecting the digital image was to make changes and see the impact on an 8 foot screen

Explaining the concept of filling the frame and subject position in the frame

The emphasis was on using low cost, readily available items to improve photos with your existing equipment

Kurt shows the impact of subject position and size in the frame

He covers the impact of multiple light sources, shadows, and hot spots

While he demonstrated using digital equipment, all of the principles covered applied to film or digital

He shows the impact of different user selected settings available on the camera
