Lots of Opportunities in the Next Few Days

Blue Footed Booby

By Carol McGonegal

Reminder - Next Meeting is Monday, September 22, 2008 from 6:30 PM-9PM, Room 308, Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, Annapolis

Our speaker Monday is Tom Bowden talking on "Photography and the Long Lens." His work is incredible. To go along with this talk a number of members will be participating in a "Table Topic" on how their own cameras and lens have performed photographing wildlife. Carol took the picture above with a Leica V-LUX 1 as an example from a kit that will be shown. This session will be informal with equipment shown and questions answered on all the pros and cons. For more on Tom's talk check out Don Dement's blog:

While there read down in the blog about his workshop this weekend with Mike Kellog. It includes a photo field trip and print making. Looks like a great learning opportunity.
