Clark Barker

Bio

Clark’s first real camera was a used 35mm fixed lens Voigtlander, followed by a Minolta SRT101 after college and gainful employment. After a couple more Minoltas, a digital 8 megapixel Olympus and several Canons, he went mirrorless with a Canon R5 the first day it was available. Most of the pre-digital photos were 35mm slides.

Clark’s past photographic experience was mostly as a tourist taking snapshots of interesting places visited and photos of his son and daughter when they were children. He still enjoys taking travel photos and has expanded to birds, other wildlife and macro photography.

Clark joined NVPS in 2015 which led to vastly improved comprehension of the impact of shutter speed, aperture and ISO on the photo, as well as an appreciation for composition.  He was the class two color print Photographer of the Year for 2016-2017.  He uses Lightroom/Photoshop CC and Topaz for post processing.  He cuts his own mats to mount photos printed with an Epson P800 printer and has recently transitioned from using mostly luster type paper to using matte paper.  Description
