Rob Hull

Program Description — Quality of Light

Light is the most fundamental building block of photography. In this presentation, Rob Hull will explore the three key characteristics that define the quality of light striking a subject—brightness, color, and direction—and show how each shapes the way we see and photograph the world. He’ll also reveal how light interacts with subjects and how understanding these interactions leads to more deliberate control over mood, texture, and depth. You’ll gain practical techniques for recognizing and harnessing light to create more compelling and emotionally resonant images.

Speaker Biography — Rob Hull

Caddo Lake Fall Color
Dallas Camera Club Field Trip

DETAIL

The Dallas Camera Club is going to Caddo Lake this year for its annual Fall Color field trip. It has been almost 10 years since the club last visited Caddo Lake, so many members may not be familiar with the lake. Here is a short introduction. For more details, see the links at the end.

Caddo Lake is one of Texas' few natural lakes. Some say the only one. It is also one of 27 wetlands in the US recognized by Ramsar Convention. Lodging and boat rentals are centered around the tiny town of Uncertain, Texas, population less than 100. Caddo Lake is on the Texas–Louisiana border about 3 hours east of Dallas. It has diverse aquatic plant life and wildlife in a bald cypress swamp with a bottomland hardwood forest. It is home to 190 species of trees and shrubs, 22 species of amphibians, 47 mammal species and more than 220 kinds of birds. Over 40 of the native bird species are endangered. Here are a few photos from around the lake.
