Four Seasons at Northwest Park
This is an action packed presentation about photography from a naturalist perspective of wildlife and nature at Northwest Park in Windsor, Connecticut. The agenda will cover the photographic skills, techniques and gear that are critical for capturing the essence and aesthetic beauty in nature. But equally important will be an introduction to the field craft & stalking skills. It is that ability “to see, without being seen”, knowing animal behavior, reading weather patterns and about being in the right place at the right time. This additional insight will help you to be much better equipped for your next nature photography trip!

The theme for January is "weather" and I don't think we've had too much photographic weather in this area. (One member stated-"I agree that “weather” is a tough theme for this month! But, there have been some great colors for sunsets, and shots that you normally couldn’t get in January without snow. For example, I captured a shot of a farmer haying his field on January 2nd! The shot itself is not about weather, but the timing of the farmer haying hisfield in January is definitely weather related.")
Please try to get them submitted by Sunday night so we have time to put the show together (three photos- the theme or a favorite).
Another member sent this link along, beautiful B&W photos taken in Africa. If you get a chance read the article. The photos are gigantic and very impressive. What patience the photographer has!!!
