What’s the most effective element of your image after the lighting? It’s your composition! It can make or break the impact of your photo.

Michael will share his strategies for planning and implementing an affordable photo tour through Iceland. He will provide the resources he used during a 10-day trip to Iceland with visits to locations around the entire “Outer Ring Road,” including many of the iconic photographic locations along with several lesser-known spots.

Our esteemed Evergreen photographer, Boyd Norton, is back to present his valuable words of photographic wisdom. “I always try to encourage nature photographers to get involved in conservation,” Boyd explained. “Photography is a powerful tool in conservation work. It can awaken in people the realization that many places and species need protection.”

Boyd has written books on conservation photography and serves on the board of Trustees for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.

JEFF JOHNSON
The Art of Seeing B&W

“Our eyes see color. Our souls feel black and white,” Jeff Johnson explains.

Learn to see differently for black and white photography. In black and white landscape photography, the golden hour is no longer the golden rule. Jeff will illustrate that light direction, intensity and how it can sculpt a scene are more primary factors in selecting an image to consider for black and white, making mid-morning and midafternoon a part of your photography creation time.

Join Jeff for an in-depth look at how he creates his award-winning black and white
photography. To learn more about Jeff, see soulroadtrips.com

RON BELAK and PEG LINN
Wildlife and Birds of the Galapagos and Mainland Ecuador

Evergreen Camera Club is meeting in person to present club members Ron Belak and Peg Linn!

Ron and Peg spent 18 days in Ecuador in 2017, touring along the spine of the Andes from Quito south to Cuenca, visiting the famous hummingbird site at Bella Vista and cruising the islands of the Galapagos with 13 other guests on a small boat that traveled between the islands. Although they did not check off all 131 species of Ecuadoran hummingbirds, they will present photos of their favorites as well as other species in the cloud forest and on the paramo—Ecuador’s term for the tundra. They will also share photos featuring 19,000-foot volcanoes, alpine lakes and desert islands, and offer tips on photographing the birds and wildlife.
