I went to the Brentwood Camera Club June meeting and the main program was Rod Daniel. Rod is a Nashville native that went to Hollywood and became a successful TV anad movie director. He recently relocated back to Franklin, TN. For several years Mr Daniel would ship a Harley-Davidson motorcyle to the mid-west and then meet it and spend time traveling back to southern California. Along the way, without any set itinerary or timetable, Rod would photograph anything that caught his eye. His specialty is black and white landscapes. His images include many "rural" mid-west settings that no longer exist. I was inspired by Rod's presentation to try and do some B&W landscape work, digitally of course. Rod did much of his early work in medium format, but has switched to digital (Nikon) and touted the teachings of Carlan Tapp (http://carlantapp.com/) and the Santa Fe Photography Workshop (http://www.santafeworkshops.com/) classes.
I haven't been able to find a web site associated with Mr. Daniel, but he has several exhibitions that a Google search will find. Mr. Daniel's directing credits can be viewed on imdb.com.
I found the program very educational and would like to learn more about B&W conversions in Photoshop/Lightroom. Also many of the shots reminded me of scenes I saw on my trans-America bicycle trip in 1987. I wonder if a lot of those places still exist???
