Spend a day amongst magnificent aquatic wildlife, understanding the critical role the oceans play in human survival, while photographing exhibits featuring thousands of unique creatures. Aquariums can offer some challenging conditions such as low ambient lighting to thick glass walled tanks.
During this photo walk, you'll learn the simple tricks that will help you capture stunning images. Point and shoot, and digital SLR owners will both benefit from the techniques presented.

Subject
Definition: an object, scene, incident, etc. chosen by an artist (photographer) as the point of focus in an image.
Makes sense, right? The first principle of photography is to clearly identify the subject before pressing the shutter release. With that said, how many times have you looked at a photograph and tried to figure out what is the intended subject? Let’s start by looking at the following image. What is the subject of this image?

This one is near and dear to me. The New York City Fire Department Photo Unit Official Archive of FDNY Photographs will be featured at St. John's University Dr. M. T. Geoffrey Yeh Art Gallery.
The exhibit will feature a short history of the New York City Fire Department, as documented by the Photo unit, from the 1900 through 2009. These images document major events from the beginning of the 20th Century, to the attack on the World Trade Center, to Hurricane Katrina, and much more. The exhibit features large digital contact sheets made from the scanned collection of glass negatives, with the earliest traced back to 1869. A selection of 8 x 10 black and white prints come from an extensive collection of 4 x 5 negatives. Color images will tug at your heart depicting the September 11th attack and the subsequent rescue and recovery efforts. Images from the FDNY's response to help with the devastation that Hurricane Katrina left behind will truly inspire.
The exhibit runs from now through March 7, 2009.
