Have you ever really thought about what goes on in your head as you decide which "shot" to take? Listen to photography expert Larry Winslett
explore "why" we take the photos we do, considering the effects of place, angle, time, and light. He'll talk about what elements go into the composition of a photograph, including technical issues and our emotional responses, and he'll show us some of his outstanding photography. Join us and become a better photographer. Larry Winslettnew window is a nature photographer, environmentalist, exhibitor, and along with his wife, Julie, co-authors the recently published book, Wildflowers of Stone Mountain. His work has been featured in Sierra, Wilderness, and Wild Mountain Times, and is currently on exhibit at Stone Mountain Park at the new Environmental Education Center.
PLUS Winter Pot Luck - bring a dish to share. We will provide a ham or turkey, drinks, plates, utensils, etc - or bring your own and save the landfill. Dinner at 7PM, doors open at 6:30.
