This is one I'm working on for a possible future presentation. Perhaps "50 Techniques in 50 Minutes"? I hope to have at least one or more photo using each technique, many of mine, but also those of others in the club if applicable. Hopefully it will spur some ideas as to what else you might try with your camera.
While compiling a list here, I'll eventually adding some "how'd-they-do-that's", "how-to's" and "where-to-find-more-information's" (web links).
Here's the list. While there are 76 in the list, I'd plan to skip over the first group of common subject photo subjects If you have an unusual technique that's not listed, please post it, thanks.
