Tuesday, October 1 – Speaker: Michael Winsor – Lost in Newfoundland (Zoom only)

Become “Lost in Newfoundland” with award winning professional photographer Michael Winsor. Not literally lost in the sense of being able to find your way, but lost in the grandeur of a sweeping seascape or the rugged magnificence of a landscape. Become lost in the hypnotic stare of a red fox or the sheer power of a humpback whale breaching in the North Atlantic. During our time together Michael will showcase the beauty of Newfoundland and Labrador. Michael will present his favorite things to shoot such as; landscapes, icebergs, whales, and its large selection of wildlife. Michael has lots of culture-rich experiences and stories to share while reviewing his images. Be sure to join us for a fun evening exploring the east coast.

December

Tuesday, December 3 – Speaker – Terry McDonald – Creating Compelling Landscapes (In Person Only)

To quote a Master of landscapes, Ansel Adams, “Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer . . . and often the supreme disappointment.” Truly engaging landscapes are the product of how photographers choose and use the ambient conditions, aesthetic elements, and technical controls in making machine images, and how they apply subtle editing to breathe life back into files to create finished photographs. The details of this approach form the foundation of Creating Compelling Landscapes.

Tuesday, January 7 – Speaker – Brian Thompson – Small town news, big-time opportunities – Photo Journalism (In Person only)

Brian will share his experiences and photographs from being a photojournalist for over 38 years.

News photography is both a challenging and rewarding career. I have to think and react quickly to situations, be creative yet truthful in the images I make, and deal with lighting conditions which are often less than ideal. Capturing the peak action of sports from high school level to Pan Am Games soccer, or slice-of-life moments of people in our community, the audience for my work extends from within our coverage area, to across the country and around the world!
