Penguin Day class

January 19, 2022

  • Conservation
    • January 20th is National Penguin day
    • There are 17 species of penguin and they all live in the southern hemisphere
    • Climate change remains the biggest threat to the penguin population
  • Photography
    • Special considerations
      • Low light inside the aquarium.  There is no natural light
      • Utilize a faster shutter speed to freeze the motion of them swimming
      • A fast wide angle lens will be more useful than a telephoto lens
        • As focal length decreases, depth of field increases
      • Seeing the visual clutter
        • Checking foregrounds and backgrounds
      • Shooting through the glass (avoiding glare)
        • Get close
        • Utilize a circular polarizing filter
      • Post Processing
        • Check your highlights
        • You will most likely need to lift your shadows
        • Noise reduction
        • Color balance/Color grading
