Join us for our August General Meeting. Our speaker is wildlife photographer, Irene Hinke-Sacilotto. Irene has spoken to us before and was so good, we invited her back. We are fortunate to have her again!
A Passion for Wildlife Photography, the Stories Behind the Images
This talk is based on Irene's more than 35 plus years’ experience photographing wildlife and covers the knowledge, strategies, techniques, and equipment required to capture engaging animal images. Included is information on locating, attracting, and approaching animals along with prime locations for wildlife photography, the use of photographic blinds, and stalking techniques. She will also share her motivation behind her passion for wildlife photography including the rewards, insights, and joy she gets from sharing her experiences with others. The program is interwoven with some entertaining stories behind some images.
