Critique

We had our first critique on Sunday evening. A required part of this traveling class, we each had printed 3 to 5 images and put up our favorite 3.  We all talk about the images and take turns discussing each person's work. It is amazing how  a group like this can all go to the same place and see such different things, and that one of the main benefits of having a critique, along with feedback on technical issues that appear.

For example, we are dealing with some harsh, high contrast lighting situations due to the bright sun on most days. Getting a good exposure with bright highlights and dark shadows requires some rapid decision making and knowledge of camera controls.

We also discover great images and new ideas from our fellow travelers, get feedback about our own vision and the direction we are going photographically, with help from Zak along the way.
