Nikon School Tips of the Day – June
http://www.nikonschool.com/en/LearnAnd-Explore/index.page
Setting the correct date/time on your
camera when you first install the batteries is a
good idea. Image files with the correct
date/time will be easier to sort through if
you're looking through a lot of photographs to
find a specific one.
When shooting bodies of water, use a
polarizer filter to reduce glare. It will increase
the contrast of the overall image, making
colors seem deeper and more vivid.
To shoot with a very slow shutter
speed in bright light, use a neutral density or
circular polarizing filter. The filters screw onto
the lens of the camera or attach with a holder
to the front of the lens. By letting less light
reach the sensor, these dark filters will let you
shoot at even slower shutter speeds than
normal.
Set your camera’s display (playback)
to show you highlight problems. This is a
simple feature that will cause blinking of areas
that are overexposed on the rear LCD screen
when reviewing the photos you’ve shot. If
large or important areas are blinking, you will
need to reduce the exposure, often by using
the +/- Exposure Compensation and applying
minus compensation.
Get low for great action shots. It’s a
great way improve your sports pictures
immediately. Baseball games provide a lot of
angles. Get low, near first base. From there
you can see most of the infield action, plus
home plate. Try shooting through the
backstop with a long lens as the pitcher warms
up. But don’t get too close to the action. You
don't want to get hurt.
Don’t delete images from the memory
card unless you absolutely have to. It’s better
to transfer everything to your computer and
reformat the memory card in the camera
afterwards. Use high-capacity memory cards
so you don’t have to worry about running out
of space when shooting.
If you have a tripod and lights or
stands, get your gear, your background and
exposure figured out for the portrait before
the subject gets there. That way when the
subject arrives, you can pay attention to them.
This will allow you to be more interactive with
your subject and get them in the right pose
instead of fiddling with the equipment.
When photographing people, stay
connected. This can be by talking to your
subject throughout the shoot, guiding them
with suggestions for better posing and
providing feedback on how the images are
coming out.
The sky may be cloudy and gray, not
blue but that doesn’t mean you can’t go out
and shoot. Try using a color graduated neutral
density filter to make the sky more interesting
while leaving the foreground natural. Adjust
the filter so its mid-point is on the horizon line
in your shot.
Be patient when photographing wild
animals. Wait for the perfect moment to
capture the emotion or action.
Not sure which white balance setting
to use? If your camera has live view, turn it on
and scroll through the various white balance
options while looking at the LCD. You’ll be
able to see exactly how the scene looks with
each white balance setting, making it easy to
set an accurate or creative white balance for
the scene you’re shooting.
Check the direction of the light.
Sometimes the best light on a person,
monument or scene is not the most obvious.
Moving around and seeing the light from all
angles will expand your vision and make a
unique picture. Make it a habit to do this
whenever you have time.

The workshop starts in Miami with an
optional evening of shooting
the
architecture and neon lights of South Beach.
From Miami, you’ll fly to Havana, where
you’ll split into two even smaller groups of
five to explore Habana Vieja (Old Havana)
and other neighborhoods. Doug hires two
superb Cuban photographers who serve as
guides to help you get even closer to the
Cuban people.
Doug Kaye’s Cuba Workshops
Cuba is changing rapidly. Are you
ready to go before it’s too late?
Doug Kaye, a member of the Marin
Photo Club, is leading his 4th and 5th trips to
this “forbidden” island country just 90 miles
from Key West. Why go with Doug in
particular?
You’ll then travel by air-conditioned
bus to the western tobacco-farming town of
Viñales where you’ll spend two nights in a
casa particular (private home, like a B&B).
From there, you’ll bus to historic Trinidad on
Cuba’s southern coast for another two
nights in casas before returning to Havana
for one night then return to Miami.
For more info, head to
http://DougKaye.com/workshops
 Doug’s Cuban partner handles all
travel, lodging and meals, leaving
Doug to focus on you and your
photography.
 Very small group: 10 people
maximum.
 Although most will be photographers,
non-shooting partners love it, too!
 Two upcoming workshops:
o November 5-14, 2015
o January 7-16, 2016
 $4,495 double occupancy
 $350 single supplement add-on
 Includes most expenses that are extra
on other workshops.

Message from Mike Johnson, former DVCC Member, now member

At last night's Hilo Camera Club meeting, during a technical presentation, mention was made of a
PBS Masters documentary about Dorothea Lange.
I was able to find it online and I believe that you would really enjoy it. Of course, you may already
have seen it, and it's just me who is late to the party! Anyway, I really liked it, and think you will too.

10 Must-See Skywatching Events
to
Look Up for in 2015
Look to the skies in 2015 to see total
eclipses, amazing planets and meteor showers.
Here are some of the most noteworthy
skywatching events coming up this year.
Space.com will provide more extensive coverage
of most of these events as they draw closer.
Perseid meteor shower: Aug. 12
The Perseid meteor shower is usually
considered to be among the best of the annual
meteor displays thanks to its high rates. Lucky
observers can sometimes see up to 90 meteors an
hour during the shower.
Last summer, the moon was a brilliant
waning gibbous phase and presented a major
nuisance for those who wanted a dark sky to
watch the shower. But in 2015, the moon will be
a couple of days before new and will not rise
until just before daybreak, leaving much of the
night dark for prospective observers.
Last-quarter moon: Sept. 4
The last-quarter moon will pass in front
of one of the brightest stars in the sky,
Aldebaran, the angry orange eye of Taurus the
Bull. This occultation will be visible over eastern
North America, but there will be another visible
over a much wider region of North America
early on Nov. 26 — Thanksgiving morning.
Another lunar eclipse: Sept. 27-28
Eclipse watchers across the central and
eastern part of North America — roughly east of
a line from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Houston —
will see the entire lunar eclipse from start to
finish, while those farther to the west will see the
moon rise with the eclipse already in progress.
On the other side of the Atlantic, viewers
in western and central Europe will see the entire
eclipse before the moon sets on the morning of
Sept. 28, although the moon will vanish below
the western horizon from Eastern Europe and
western Asia before its conclusion. Totality will
last 72 minutes.
Not only will the moon undergo a total
eclipse on this night, but the moon will also very
nearly coincide with perigee, its closest point to
Earth. The moon turns full at 10:51 p.m. ET, and
just 51 minutes earlier it will arrive at its closest
point to Earth in 2015 at a distance of 221,753
miles (356,877 kilometers). [See amazing
images from a 2014 lunar eclipse]
A brilliant double planet … again:
Oct. 26
For the second time in 2015, Venus and
Jupiter will engage in a close conjunction, this
time separated by just over 1 degree. Venus will
pass to the southwest (lower right) of Jupiter and
shine more than 10 times brighter than the huge
gas giant.
Taurid 'fireballs': October and
November
The Taurid meteors, sometimes called the
"Halloween fireballs," show up each year
between mid-October and mid-November. The
shower should peak from Nov. 5 to Nov. 12 in
2015. Meteor expert David Asher has also
discovered that Earth can periodically encounter
swarms of larger particles, which can produce
fireball meteors in certain years, and 2015 is
predicted to be one of those years.
Geminid meteor shower:
Dec. 13-14
If there is one meteor display guaranteed
to put on an entertaining show, it is the
Geminids. Most meteor experts now put it at the
top of the list, surpassing even the August
Perseids in brilliance and reliability. The moon
will be a narrow crescent and will set early in the
evening, leaving the sky dark all through the rest
of the night — perfect conditions for watching
shooting stars. This will be your chance to see an
average of as many as two meteor sightings
every minute, or 120 per hour!
