Hi Everyone,

This is a quick update on uploading images for next month's Monthly Challenge.

So next month's challenge is One Light Portraiture based on the workshop that was done on January 4th.

Basically you are to upload a maximum of two images.  The first should be the untouched image right out of the camera, and the second should be the same image but with any post-processing that you might have done.

If you were not at the workshop but would still like to participate in this Monthly Challenge you can take either a self-portrait, or a portrait of someone you know.  You can use any light source that you have at your disposal with the ultimate goal of getting some interesting lighting on your subject.  Try to avoid flat and monotonous lighting.

If you're not entirely clear on the post-processing workflow, Angela Durante Dukat created four videos that will give you some ideas.  You can find the videos here:

Barry: Fine Art Portrait Edit

Doug 1: Fine Art Portrait Edit

Doug 2: Fine Art Portrait Edit

Pat: Editorial Portrait Edit

If you can't remember all the details on how to upload your images to the Monthly Challenge Gallery here's a link that will walk you through the steps.

Finally, the new URL of the APL Camera Club website is http://aplcc.ca

Looking forward to seeing your portraits.

Please feel free to email me with any questions you might have.

Take care,

Ronen and the Steering Committee
