Presentation Information :  

While humans see the world in three dimensions, a photographer can render an image of a scene through our camera in only two. Not only do our cameras "see" differently than our eyes and brains do, but also our own eyes can deceive us: what we see and what we think we see doesn't always line up. If we understand how humans see depth, we can consciously create a sense of shape and dimension in our visual compositions.

Get new ideas for transforming those uninspiring arrangements into engaging photographs during outdoor photographer Colleen's presentation entitled "In Depth on Depth: Creating Dimension in Landscape Photographs". Hear how to mindfully incorporate the three L’s (lines, layers, and light)—and even optical illusions to gain a more 3D look with your landscape images. Get your viewers to feel like they are IN your photograph!
