SUMMARY:Mitch Dobrowner will present “The Still Earth” via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Mitch is an outstanding fine art photographer. His imagery is magnificent. His landscapes are incredibly breathtaking. His storm chasing scenes are other-worldly & considered the best of this genre.\n“Growing up on Long Island (Bethpage)\, NY\, I felt lost in my late teens. Worried about my future direction in life\, my father gave me an old Argus rangefinder to fool around with. Little did he realize what an important gesture that would turn out to be for me. After doing some research and seeing the images of Minor White and Ansel Adams I quickly became addicted to photography.\nI left home at 21\, quitting my job\, leaving my friends and family to see the American Southwest for myself. In California I eventually met my wife\, and together we had 3 children\, and created our own design studio – and the tasks of running a business and raising a family took priority to photography. During that time I stopped taking pictures. Years later\, in early 2005\, inspired by my wife\, children and friends – I again picked up my cameras. I’ve been on a mission since then to create images that help evoke how I see our amazing planet.\nI owe much to the great photographers of the past\, especially Ansel Adams\, for their dedication to the craft and for inspiring me in my late teens. Though I have never met them\, their inspiration helped me determine the course my life would take.\nI live with my wife Wendy\, my son Joshua\, our dog Jet and our brat cat Jax in our homes in Los Angeles and Lone Pine\, California.”\nCheck out Mitch’s incredible work on his WEBSITE. You will not want to miss his talk after the visit. \n*****Important Note******: This free meeting will be held via Zoom. Details are in the BPS Member Center on our website.

SUMMARY:What Photography Judges Look For - Richard Lewis
DESCRIPTION:This is a fun\, yet very frank look at that hardest job any photographer can do… Judging! We’ll examine both the objective and subjective things that make a photograph great and exhibition worthy. Plus\, YOU GET TO BE THE JUDGE! This is a presentation with audience participation and you get to judge some of my work and the work of the photography masters. You’ll discover that no photograph is perfect. \n \n  \nRichard Lewis\, Photographer \nRichard Lewis has been a professional and fine art photographer since the 1970’s with a passion for landscapes\, abandoned buildings and interesting people. He uses both a professional digital camera and an iPhone to create his work. \nRichard’s inspiration comes from landscape painters and has developed a style he calls “Painting with a Camera”. This involves equal effort in both creating and post processing an image. \nRichard is an active photography blogger\, lecturer\, instructor and conducts workshops in the New Jersey Pine Barrens to help photographers find their unique creative voice \nWebsite: RichardLewisPhotography.com

SUMMARY:Backyard Bird Photography – Ginnie Lodge
DESCRIPTION:It’s wonderful to trek out into the woods\, fields\, and parks to photograph birds\, but there are also birds nearby\, right in your own neighborhood. Maybe it is not possible for you to go in search of birds\, the weather may be bad\, you may be unable to walk long distances or sit in the cold\, or you just might like the comfort of your own home! The goal of this presentation is to give you some ideas and tools you can use to make interesting and pleasing images of the birds that are right in your own backyard. We’ll talk about planning ahead\, settings and lenses\, making the shot\, post processing\, bird identification\, and the most important ingredient: patience!
