The grandeur of the west beckoned and Lewis moved to Yosemite National Park, where he lived for 11 years. From 1978 until 1980, he worked at The Ansel Adams Gallery. Working at the gallery gave him the opportunity to meet, observe and learn from some of the greatest photographers of our time.“ The experience of working at The Ansel Adams Gallery was very influential in my development as a photographer”, he states.

Expanding your Creativity with Time / Motion Techniques | Photography Seminar
Meeting Location: GTM Research Reserve, Classroom 3
SUNDAY 1 TO 2:30 P. M.
Price: $ 25 | Max No of People: 30 | Difficulty Level: All Levels Today’ s outdoor photographer has many options for expanding your creativity beyond that of a simple exposure. Using techniques such as Long Exposures, both day and night, we can now make photographs that dazzle the viewer. By using strong neutral density filters in the day we can capture motion in still images. Night photography of the stars, along with light painting, open up whole new areas of creativity. Time lapse allows us to condense time and show a view of our world that is lost to the normal observer. In this session you will learn about different options for neutral density filters and how to calculate exposure when using them. You will learn how to shoot time lapse that you process and put together as well as in camera time lapse.
