Our club education committee invited Ned
Pennock to present at our January 5th
meeting. He titled his talk: “Lessons learned
from a (mostly) self-taught photographer.”
He plans to display multiple images and
walk us through how he captured each. Ned
is joining us from the Dayton area
(Centerville). Ned self-describes as loving
playful experimentation with photography
and continually developing new skills—
learning from both successes and failures.
He enjoys many types of photography
including family photos and portraits,
landscapes, cityscapes, nature, events and
performances, still life, and more. His goal is
to create compelling images that will be
enjoyed for generations to come (he is both a
father and grandfather). He accomplishes this
by combining good composition with natural or
creative lighting, paying attention to details,
and listening to others’ ideas and
perspectives. In addition to his one-hour,
planned presentation, Ned has offered to stick
around and present some auxiliary information
for any members wishing to stay later.
