Member’s Forum – (In Person) Travel Photography with Cameras that Fit in Your Pocket with George Hogeman
February 23, 2027 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Bio:
George Hogeman retired in 2019 following 31 years with the Department of State, including 22 years overseas mainly in Africa and Asia. Earlier he met his wife Geri while serving in the Peace Corps in Kenya. In 2014, he began shooting mirrorless when he bought an Olympus E-M10 and since acquired an uncomfortably extravagant number of other mirrorless cameras, lenses and accessories. He enjoys infrared and astrophotography and visits Huntley Meadows at least once a month.
Description of the Presentation:
George and his wife Geri have had the good fortune to have made several overseas trips since George retired in 2019. Sometimes, their travel has required them to travel lightly without confirmed access to airline overhead bin space so cameras and personal items had to fit under the seat. Furthermore, several of these have been group tours where opportunities to slow down and compose an image with an interchangeable lens camera are relatively rare. Despite these challenges, he has enjoyed taking pictures while traveling and has been pleased with the images he has been able to create. Thus, he has carefully narrowed his travel cameras to those that are small, turn on fast and focus quickly, including the TG-7 from OM Systems (formerly Olympus) and the Ricoh GRIII and GRIIIx. Each of these cameras has particular strengths and weaknesses but they complement each other remarkably well.
In the presentation, George will show several cameras and share some of the images taken by these cameras from Morocco, Japan, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and elsewhere.
