November 9th Meeting: Emilie Talpin – Fun With Water Drops
Emilie Talpin is an OM SYSTEM Ambassador and 3 Legged Thing Pro Team. She grew up in Chalon-sur-Saône, France, the birthplace of Nicéphore Niépce and the first photograph. Despite this background, she got into photography very late, and in 2018 joined a local camera club where she met a group of talented photographers and was inspired to dive deeper into the art of capturing moments in time.
Emilie Talpin has been published and featured in Petapixel Magazine, the Phoblographers, Sciences et Vie Junior, The Weather Channel, B & H, Adorama, Hunt’s Photo and Video, OM SYSTEM, and 3 Legged Thing. She also has her own YouTube channel, where she publishes educational videos every Sunday.
Fun with Water Drops – The Art of Capturing Refraction
Description: In this program, OM SYSTEM ambassador Emilie Talpin will immerse you in the world of water drop photography, also known as refraction. If you are not familiar with this term, refraction is when the light passes from one medium and into another, affecting the direction of the light. In macro photography, the capture of a background subject into a foreground water drop is a good illustration of refraction. We will learn how to capture such images and go over the equipment needed as well as techniques and tips to make a successful photo.
