They provided detailed explanations and visual examples of eight Special Effects techniques: Ink Drop Photography, Photoelasticity, Fun with filters, In the Round, Frozen flowers, Light painting flowers, Multiple exposures, Lensball photography.
A BIG thank you goes to Lynn and Kathy for wowing us with dazzling photos! They certainly added a lot of fun to photography and encouraged us to get creative.
