Wednesday, Feb 22 at 7:15 pm - Dynamic Bird Photography
|
Dynamic Bird Photography by Dawn Wilson, a professional and award-winning nature photographer and writer specializing in wildlife of high latitudes and high altitudes of the Rocky Mountains and Alaska.
|
Bird photography can be one of the most challenging types of photos to successfully capture. Birds like bald eagles and great blue herons fly slower and are larger, making them great subjects to start with for birds in flight, but there are techniques for capturing the smaller birds as well – either in flight or finding the right perch location. This presentation will cover bird behavior for better photos, settings for improving your success rate for birds in flight, ideas for creative bird photos, and much more.

Making Competitive Nature Images by Richard Cloran
|
In this program, Richard Cloran (HonFPSA, GMPSA, HonNEC) will explore the key aspects of a successful competitive nature image and what separates them from an otherwise good nature image. Each of the key aspects is covered in short, easily remembered points. These points are then reinforced with multiple examples using images that have and have not been successful at local, interclub and international exhibition levels.

Saturday, Feb 25 at 3:00 pm - Visualization: Picturing the Unique Possibilities
|
Visualization: Picturing the Unique Possibilities by Coleen Miniuk, a full-time freelance outdoor photographer, writer, publisher, instructor, and motivational speaker, supporting a wide range of assignments for editorial and commercial clients. Specializing in nature and outdoor recreation, my purpose as an outdoor communicator is to inspire and help others enjoy the Great Outdoors.
|
When a scene excites us, photographers often feel compelled to grab our camera out of our backpacks and shoot, shoot, shoot! Join Colleen Miniuk for an enlightening presentation on how visualizing your photograph before you begin photographing—whether at home or in the field—can help you record more effective and more meaningful images. She’ll share what visualization is (and isn’t), how it differs from pre- and post-visualization, how visualization ties into the creative process, and how to approach landscapes with mindfulness, gather inventories, and translate your ideas into pixels without a camera in your hands. In picturing your picture before you create it, you’ll be on your way to deeper and more meaningful visual expressions.”

If we all have the potential to be creative, why is it so hard? In this fun and enlightening presentation, we will explore some science behind creativity. Where does it come from? Are humans born with it, or do they learn it? Is it possible to make yourself more creative? The answers that are the results of research done by cognitive psychologists will surprise you, frustrate you, and excite you.
