3:30pm -4:15pm- Tony Sweet - The invisible worlds of photography
There is a whole other world out there that we live in, but cannot see,
and can only be seen when captured using an altered camera, extreme
density filters, and software voodoo. Photographing things we cannot see
is thrilling. Tony will illustrate and delve into, as much as possible
in 45 minutes, the worlds of very long exposure photography, movement,
traditional and color infrared photography.

About the castle:
After the Spanish-American War, arms merchant Francis Bannerman bought
90 percent of the U.S. Army's decommissioned weapons. Bannerman then
constructed an arsenal on an island in the Hudson River. Built in the
style of a Scottish castle, the arsenal featured a gateway once
outfitted with a drawbridge. Long neglected and devastated by fire in
1969, the castle is now the focus of local preservation efforts.
