Don will be presenting this coming Wednesday by Zoom. I’ll send a Zoom link that morning.
Topic: After the sun sets can be an amazing time to go out and capture some amazing photos. This can take place regardless of the environment where you live. The added bonus to night photography is that it also helps to reinforce the important role that light plays in photography. During this lecture, the following topics will be addressed:
- What is considered to be Night Photography
- Exploring Astrophotography (Milky Way, Constellations, Star Trails and Northern Lights)
- Urban Night Photography
- Light Painting and Special Effects
Bio: I got introduced to photography by my grandfather. When I was around the age of 7, he gave me my first camera. I don’t remember much about it other than it took 120 mm film. My next camera was a Kodak Instamatic that I carried with me everywhere. When I got to college, I took my next step when my friend Cheerios helped me purchase my first SLR, a Nikon EM with a 50mm lens. I have been using Nikon equipment ever since.
I enjoy shooting landscapes, wildlife, classic cars, old dilapidated buildings and equipment. I have been fortunate enough to visit some amazing locations, and I am always looking for new places to visit and experience. Some recent trips have been to Borneo, Costa Rica, Kaktovik Alaska, Galapagos Islands, Death Valley National Park, and Yellowstone National Park.
My photos have appeared in magazines, newspapers, calendars, and marketing materials.
