Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting our first-ever NJ Camera Club Extravaganza these past few days! We really appreciate how great the turnout was for each event and we hope that you all enjoyed them too!
The 5-day extravaganza kicked off on Friday, April 16th, with photographer Adam Barker and his seminar, "Capturing the Complete Outdoor Image"!
The room was packed as Adam discussed the different photographic components, including equipment, technique, and creative vision. Difficulties of overcoming the challenges of shooting outdoors and the use of landscape filters were also discussed, providing great insight into how Adam captures such detail and bold colors in his photos!
On Saturday, April 17th, Tamron's Ken Hubbard took over with two seminars, the first of which was "Exploring Digital Black and White"!
During this seminar, Ken demonstrated how to create the best possible black and white images with software like Adobe Photoshop and Nik Silver Efex Pro. From there, printing tips and techniques were discussed.
For the second seminar of the day, Ken presented "Travel and Landscape Photography", where he detailed the steps from setting up and evaluating your scene all the way to the final output in print.
As for our Sunday morning meet-up at The Great Swamp Wildlife Refuge, the turnout was especially amazing as over fifty individuals joined us for a casual, relaxing day of photography! From Unique, Michael Downey and others (including Scott, Bob, and Sean) from the store were present. Patty Gregitis and Ken were also present on behalf of Tamron.
Free Tamron loaner lenses were also distributed to interested attendees as they tested the selections available on the different trails and blinds at The Great Swamp!

Some great items (including Lowepro bags, gift cards, and the grand prize of a Tamron 18-270mm lens) were also raffled off during the course of the extravaganza events! (Congratulations if you were one of our lucky winners!)
Again, the extravaganza was a huge success and we at Unique are extremely grateful to all of you camera clubs and individuals for attending! We'd also like to give a special thanks to Adam Barker, Ken Hubbard, Andre Costantini, Patty Gregitis, and Tamron for providing some great seminars!
