BIO

Judy has been interested in travel and photography since she was 10 and her family took their first road trip to the western states.  She took snapshots of family, travels and pets for many years before getting a Nikon SLR and taking slides.  In April, 2007 she finally gave up film and now shoots digital images with a Nikon D90.  Judy is most interested in travel and nature photography and loves to travel and photograph anywhere, searching out back roads as well as obvious sites.  She enjoys giving slide shows for various groups and makes calendars and note cards with her photographs.  Her work has been juried into Meadowlark/Nature's Vision and has been published in the Virginia Wildlife Magazine.

In September, 2001, Judy saw Luella Murri on one of the first "Photographers of Northern Virginia" programs. She phoned Luella after the show for NVPS information and became a member shortly afterwards. Since then, Judy has enjoyed learning about all aspects of photograph from the club's activities. Viewing outstanding photos and hearing speakers lecture on new topics inspire her to try new ideas and improve her own techniques.

FORUM

At the March Forum, Judy McGuire will highlight various photography destinations, including some less well known spots. Many are within a day's drive of Northern Virginia, but some more distant locales will also be covered.  All will be illustrated with digital slides that showcase the photographic subjects at each location. Resources for planning trips and finding places to visit will be discussed.
