SUMMARY:Jim Scheirer - "African Safari"
DESCRIPTION:– April 3\, 2023 at 7 PM: BPS Member Talk – Jim Scheirer – “African Safari” \nJim Scheirer is a retired Chemistry Professor from Albright College and has been a member of BPS for more than 45 years. He has traveled to more than 40 countries\, including 15 countries in Africa. This program describes his fifth trip to Africa in 2019 when he spent almost three months just in South Africa in two of the largest game parks in the world – Kruger Park\, about the size of Massachusetts\, and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park\, which is even larger. \nGame parks in Southern African countries require visitors to remain inside their vehicles at all times except in fenced-in camps and picnic areas\, except for a few safe viewpoints and photo blinds\, so virtually all pictures must be taken from inside a vehicle. Visitors are not allowed to drive off-road but It is possible to get good pictures. The animals are used to cars and often get quite close. A tripod is not necessary and usually would be impossible to use. A guide is also not necessary because you and other visitors serve as very successful game spotters. You stop and ask “what do you see? ” when you see cars stopped along the road. With a telephoto zoom\, automatic focus and auto exposure Jim was able to fill the frame with many lions\, cheetahs\, leopards\, elephants\, birds and many species of antelope. \nJoin us for a view of Africa through Jim’s lens!

SUMMARY:April 17\, 2023: John Barclay will do a hybrid Zoom presentation titled “Dream - Believe - Create”.
DESCRIPTION:April 17\, 2023: John Barclay will do a hybrid Zoom presentation titled “Dream – Believe – Create”. \n \nJohn states: There was a time when I felt I could not create anything. My self-talk was – I am not a creative person\, I’m not smart enough\, I can’t do this. After seeing images projected at the first workshop I took\, I dreamed of becoming a good photographer. Primarily with the help of well known\, accomplished photographers\, I was able to chip away at the negative self-talk & believe that I could create worthwhile images. Thus “Dream – Believe – Create” has become the centerpiece of what I teach in my workshops. I believe that everyone has dreams & can achieve their dreams if they would just believe they could. I also know that when you truly believe\, you will be liberated to be able to create. \nHe continues: The process & journey required to create images feeds my soul & brings me great joy. My goal in this presentation is to inspire you to capture the essence of the subjects you are drawn to using the creative medium of photography. This might entail capturing a small intimate portion of a scene. It might involve more creative techniques\, such as multiple exposures\, the “slide sandwich” or camera movement for a more expressive interpretation. I will also touch on the digital darkroom and how having a keen understanding of the plethora of technology can help you achieve your artistic vision. Numerous examples will be shown which include traditional nature scenes as well as more abstract & urban compositions. We will explore the beauty in both the grand scale as well as more intimate details. The ideas presented in this program have application to any genre of photography. \nI believe\, like Ansel Adams\, that photographers bring to their images their own journeys\, their perspective of the world\, their experiences & their passions. For me\, photography is simply another medium of artistic expression\, visual poetry if you will. \nMy hope is that after spending time together you will leave inspired to create images that rise above the ordinary & make your heart sing! \n \n \nJohn Barclay is an award winning freelance photographer based in Bucks County\, PA.  John is a passionate photographer\, enthusiastic workshop leader & inspirational  speaker\, presenting his programs to audiences around the world. John is an Ambassador for Singh-Ray Filters\, Lensbaby\, & well known for his Topaz Webinars.  John’s work has been published in a number of books & magazines & is treasured by a number of private collectors. Recently\, John was the recipient of an excellence award from B&W Magazine & was chosen by Dewitt Jones to participate in his www.healingimages.orgprogram. “John Barclay is one heck of a photographer\, both creatively & technically. Beyond & above that however\, John is one of the best teachers on the planet.” stated Dewitt Jones\, the acclaimed professional photographer from National Geographic. You can learn more about John\, his work & view his workshop schedule at www.barclayphoto.com & https://linktr.ee/barclayphoto\, & follow John on Instagram & Facebook at johnbarclayphoto. \nThis will be a paid event for non-members with a $10 donation. For non-members interested in attending\, please register by making your $10 donation at https://store.berksphotographic.org/product/club-donation/.

SUMMARY:Pet Photography Workshop By Greg Aulenbach from Dogs in Doors April 24th\, 6:30 PM
DESCRIPTION:Pet Photography Workshop\nBy Greg Aulenbach from Dogs in Doors\nApril 24th\, 6:30 PM\n\n\nFormat – One BPS member will bring their dog.  I will demonstrate my techniques and workflow for a typical pet photography studio session.  I would like two additional PBS members to assist. I would ask that everyone bring their own camera. We will use my triggers and flash gear.  All images from the session will be shared with the dog owner.  This will be very hands-on. \nCost for the dog owner ( with one dog) is $100.  ( $50. each additional dog…up to 3 dogs in one session). \nCost for assisting members – free. \nI would like to keep the groups small\, as everyone will be shooting. If one of the club members wants to bring their dog……..I will cap the assistants at 3.  If we  do not get anyone who wants to bring their dog…. I will supply the pup.  The dog owner will receive ALL the images from everyone who participates. Additionally\, I will snap some images myself. I am certain the dog owner will be more than satisfied with the images they receive. Everyone will be required to shoot in RAW. It is a great opportunity for a dog lover to get incredible images of their dog……at a fraction of my regular fee…. and be involved in the process themself.
