Like many photographers, Bob was given a camera when he was young and he immediately fell in love with the magic that happened when the prints came back from the drugstore. Several years later, he reluctantly switched from film to a digital workflow, which he now fully embraces. Then last year, nostalgia won out and he began shooting the occasional roll of film again. A very typical story.
Since 2003, IACC has been a part of his life. The club has offered him a chance to grow as a photographer, and meet and be influenced by so many others. He is always happy to give back in any small way that he can. The images used in the session are entries Bob submitted to competitions conducted by the Photographic Society of America, and the comments he received in return from the judges of those images. |

Monday, Nov 30, 2020 - Workshop: The New Nature Photography: Trends for the Future (Lisa Langell, Victoria Camera Club)
Description
Nature photographers put their photography on their website, in coffee shops, in galleries, art exhibits, art shows, or online --but often struggle selling it. People LOVE a beautiful image of nature -- but aren't compelled to buy it for their home. Nature photographers crave creating something different—but often aren’t sure how to execute new looks.
