Taking photos, processing and more!
Franks Bio:
I am a life long photographer starting as a teenager with my mothers 110 Kodak camera. I have taken photography classes in college, many classes and seminars and am an avid reader of anything I can get my hands on about photography. Ansel Adams is the photographer I most like to follow.
My initial degree was in Computer Science so I was waiting for Digital Photography to occur. I knew that improvements would come at a faster rate once photography became digital, and that has certainly happened.
I enjoy all forms of photography, but pans, HDR and Focus Stacking are my main types of photography I am currently doing.
I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm of photography with others so I started teaching photography classes back in 2000 when I started Ritenours Photography. My students were asking for more so I started the Photographic Art Club. We are in our 12th year. The goal of the club is to help our members improve their photo skills so they can enjoy the creative side of photography. If one wants to improve their photographic skills and be with a fun group, they should join our group. Besides our online monthly meeting I also have a monthly newsletter that I publish.
Attend our Club Meeting on ZOOM:
