Title: Capturing Our Natural World: Learning and Growing as a Photographer

• Description: If you are fascinated by birds, wildlife, plants and trees, you might love nature photography! For many photographers, nature is a subject that provides countless opportunities to use our cameras for locations both near and far.  Even a walk in a local park can reveal plants, trees, birds, squirrels and other elements that make for great photographs.  And a vacation may be selected because of the unique and diverse nature found there.  In this presentation, I will share my own growth as a nature photographer while showcasing some ways to continually improve your photography.

  • Sharing ideas on how to grow as a photographer.
