DAWN WILSON
iPhone Photography From A to Z

They say the best camera to is the one you have with you! And the camera most of us always have with us is the one that fits in our pocket – the cell phone. The cameras on today’s phones have tremendous capabilities – from night photography to editing photos in the palm of your hand.

Professional and award-winning nature photographer and writer, Dawn Wilson, will discuss the ways you can use your phone for photography – and when it isn’t the better option, tips for composing photos with the cell phone camera, apps for editing and more. The presentation content is focused on the iPhone iOS, but many of the features covered are available on the Android OS phones as well.

Join Dawn and the Evergreen Camera Club in person in the auditorium at the Evergreen Fire and Rescue Station (1802 Bergen Parkway, Evergreen) on Wednesday, November 13th for 6:30 pm social time, brief announcements at 7:00 pm with Dawn’s presentation to follow. There will also be a Zoom option.

Jeff and Wendy
Promoting Respect and Awareness for Wildlife Through the Lens of a Camera

Jeff Torquemada and Wendy Sparks are passionate about preserving all things wild. They have been shooting together for over 40 years and spend hours each week photographing and studying the art of photography, striving to capture images that tell a story and evoke emotion. Jeff and Wendy are always observing and waiting to capture animals in their natural habitat in that perfect light! They do not bait nor risk compromising the welfare of an animal just to capture an image. Jeff and Wendy were awarded Community Active Wildlife Stewards of the Year in 2022 and helped establish the River Otter Ambassador program to educate the public on how to appreciate and coexist with urban wildlife such as the river otter.

Join Jeff and Wendy and the Evergreen Camera Club in person in the auditorium at the Evergreen Fire and Rescue Station (1802 Bergen Parkway, Evergreen) on Wednesday, July 10th for 6:30 pm social time, brief announcements at 7:00 pm with their presentation to follow.

Stephanie McCollister Cox is a Colorado landscape photographer who also enjoys street photography, astrophotography and fine art photography. In her presentation, she will introduce us to drone photography. She has held a Part 107 pilot certification from the FAA for three years, and, after a little background on how she became interested in capturing aerial images, she will introduce us to her two drones. She’ll talk through some of the considerations for purchasing a drone for photography and discuss regulations and ethics around flying. Her presentation will include examples of the types of images and videos you can capture with a drone and will also introduce some of the challenges of composing and capturing a compelling image from 400 feet in the air.

Her work can be viewed at www.stephclickx.com

Doors open at 6:30 pm for socializing. Members, guests and students welcome!
