“Photography When I Travel – Not Travel Photography”

April 16, 2025 — 7pm

– SCOTLAND 2024 (& maybe some from 2022)

— Doug England

Semantics? Perhaps, but I don’t consciously change my shooting to fit into a certain genre when I travel. I simply shoot subjects that move me visually, as I do when on an outing in Guelph or Tobermory or driving around Southern Ontario. It’s just the location that’s different and since I’m investing more time, effort and finances to get there, I invest more time and effort preparing and planning for what I will photograph. So I can get images like this !

This Bridge instantly became a “must see” when I first learned of it while researching locations for our trip. It was one of the first places added to a map of locations to visit for photography. Labeled “the oldest stone bridge in the highlands”, whether true or not, it certainly was something to see and a little challenging to find just the right composition.

Time-lapse Photography, January 15, 2025

Daniel Germinario – Nikon presentation

Shooting a time-lapse is different than just a single photo, so we will cover some of the important things to consider when choosing a location and subject.  Since there is a technical aspect to selecting the correct settings, we ensure that we cover all the major steps involved in choosing the resolution, interval, frame rate and the number of shots to take, trying to make it all a relatively easy process.”

As an award winning wildlife photographer, naturalist and conservationist, he is proud to have had his images published in conservation-themed, international journals including the prestigious Birdlife Australia, Wild Seed Project in Maine, National Audubon Society and Canadian Geographic. Arni and his spouse Dianne moved to the Bruce Peninsula permanently in 2018.

His goal is to tell Nature’s story by capturing unique one-of-a-kind images that will resonate with the viewer, stir the soul, invoke an emotion or perhaps stimulate a memory.  The final compositions capture a fleeting moment, one that portrays the beauty, simplicity and fragility of nature.

Description – My presentation will focus on the complexities of bird photography and night sky photography focusing on valuable tips on gear, skills and composition.
