NATURE PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Spring 2009 Meeting - Nature's Best!
April 4, 2009 (Saturday) 10 AM to 5 PM
Guest Speaker: Don Gale
Our spring meeting will be April 4 at Mount Hood Community College in Gresham, OR. We will open the doors at 8:30 AM, and the program will begin at 10 AM. The invited speaker will be Don Gale under the generous sponsorship of TAMRON. More than a decade ago and after a successful career in commercial and industrial photography, Don returned to his first love – nature and landscape photography. Don's passion for teaching award-winning techniques has earned him national recognition. The title of his morning presentation is "Techniques for the Landscape Photographer" and the afternoon presentation is "Macro and Off-Camera Flash Techniques." Check out Don's website at www.photographybydon.com. TAMRON will provide a special exhibit of its line of high quality lenses. Also, bring your digital camera bodies for sensor cleaning at a bargain price.
