Coming in September: A Workshop On Digital

Infrared Photography with Alan Sislen

Ever wish you could shoot outstanding images in the bright mid-day sun? Want to know the advantages of infrared vs. black and white? Would you like to learn new ways to use an old medium? Photographer Alan Sislen will discuss these and other topics in his comprehensive workshop, “Digital Infrared Photography,” at the Sept. 3 VPS meeting.

A landscape photographer who shoots in infrared and color, Alan also will tell us how to convert a point-and-shoot or digital SLR to an infrared camera and cover the challenge of exposure and focusing in infrared, which is not visible light.

A photographer for many years, Alan is an Associate Artist at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town, Alexandria, Va., and a Resident Artist at the Metropolitan Center for the Visual Arts (VisArts) in Rockville, Md. His work has been included in juried exhibitions throughout the Washington metropolitan area and may be seen at VisArts, the Multiple Exposures Gallery at the Torpedo Factory and on his website, www.AlanSislenPhotography.com, which includes an array of infrared photos.
