University of Wisconsin - Extension

The University of Wisconsin-Extension Photo Doctor will hold office hours at Wisconsin Farm Progress Days, Sept. 18 - 20 in Rock County.

The Photo Doctor is 4-H youth development specialist Wayne Brabender, who specializes in photography projects for 4-H youth, working with clinic staff doctors (UW-Extension county 4-H agents and veteran photography volunteers.) The doctors will set up their temporary Photo Clinic in the Progress Pavilion. Photographers, both young and not-so-young, are invited to bring photographs that need a little fixing up for a consultation with doctors.

The photo doctors will examine the pictures and offer tips on composition and lighting and explain other simple techniques for taking better photographs. They'll also talk about buying a camera; selecting the right film; recognizing the best lighting conditions; visualizing a photo; holding a camera steady; caring for film, negatives, photos, and your camera; cropping photos; and taking digital photos.
