Once a photographer has found their voice\, they can then start to develop their vision. It takes time\, but both these aspects are essential to the growth of any photographer. Nikhil will define photographic voice and vision and share his thoughts on how you can develop your photography to speak about who you are as a photographer and what you want to express. This presentation will help you to think about your photography more deeply. \nBio: \nNikhil Bahl is a full-time professional photographer\, author\, educator\, and environmentalist residing in the Washington D.C. area.  Drawing continuous inspiration from nature\, Nikhil adopts novel approaches and seeks meaningful interpretations:  to create photographs that transcend the commonplace\, reflect deeper insights\, and convey an enchantment of the subject’s beauty. \nAn offshoot of Nikhil’s fine art photography and love of nature is his documentation of wildlife behaviors and habitats.  As a volunteer with the National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service\, his goal is to portray environmental stories with an artistic appeal\, so his photographs educate and motivate about the imperative of conservation. \nEach year Nikhil leads numerous photography tours and instructional workshops in the United States and abroad. His teaching encourages participants to advance beyond ordinary photos and develop their own style and vision. Nikhil is a popular speaker at photography clubs\, expos and industry events. He authored the acclaimed eBook\, Creative Interpretations and writes articles on the creative and technical aspects of photography. His work can be viewed at www.NikhilBahl.com. \n  \n      \nSample clip from Nikhil Bahl on “The Advantage of Familiarity”. \nhttps://nvps.org/home/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/clip-for-NVPS.mp4 URL:https://nvps.org/home/event/september-1-2020-programs-photographic-voice-and-vision-with-nikhil-bahl/ CATEGORIES:Activities,Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nvps.org/home/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/NikhilBahl_portrait.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200908T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200908T210000 DTSTAMP:20200828T151630Z CREATED:20200725T174246Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200828T151630Z UID:18429-1599593400-1599598800@nvps.org SUMMARY:Education & Training - Understanding Photoshop Layers with Jim Sinsheimer DESCRIPTION:As we all know\, Photoshop is an awesome editing tool for photographers. It has many choices with regard to tools that provide virtually unlimited editing possibilities. One of the most versatile capabilities is use of layers in the workflow process. In Jim’s presentation\, he will review what a layer is\, the different types of layers\, what basic editing can be done with them\, and discuss masking\, which unlocks the full potential of Photoshop layers. The presentation will be live (Jim will do actual editing). However\, don’t feel you’ll need to take copious notes for he has prepared a PowerPoint file of the editing to be posted on the NVPS website. \nJim’s introduction to photography was at around 7 years old when his Dad converted a coal bin into his darkroom. His interest really took off in college. Jim has been a member of NVPS for two years\, having moved to Virginia from Southern California to be with his grandson and his family. Jim’s work has been published in Black and White Magazine\, LensWork\, and will be soon featured again in LensWork’s “Our Magnificent Planet.” He’s had showings at the California Department of Transportation Headquarters\, the 1650 Gallery in Los Angeles and currently in a large digital wall at the 71 South Wacker building in Chicago. For several years\, his images have won awards at the Orange County (CA) fair. \nJim has been a Canon shooter forever – he still has his FTB\, TL and F1 cameras as “museum” pieces. Travel photography to Finland for the Northern Lights was planned\, but is now on hold due to the pandemic.

After 40 years as an attorney\, lobbyist\, association executive and professor Fred now work diligently at being 100% retired with grandchildren\, travel\, golf and photography being his primary interests.  He takes pictures of things that are of interest to him. Fred felt like he was in a photographic rut so he joined NVPS in 2018 to improve his skills.  Fred says that so far he has had fun with the club as well as a valuable experience that has made him a better photographer. \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nDigital: From Angkor Wat to Hanoi: Travels in Postwar Cambodia & Vietnam – Part I Cambodia with Bill Corbett\n(Part II Vietnam scheduled for 12/22/2020) \nBill Corbett is a bird and travel photographer who enjoys color\, action and texture in his pictures.  A photojournalist in college\, Bill resumed spending serious amounts of time on photography when digital cameras came along.  He is a Nikon shooter who prefers a long lens and who uses a flash anytime he can. Bill enjoys competing his images at NVPS and making albums from pictures he and his wife Judy take on their travels. \nBill and Judy moved three summers ago to southern Loudoun from McLean\, where they raised their three kids.  He is still just beginning to explore the photo opportunities in Loudoun and west of there.   They spend most of the summer in Delaware\, where Bill takes his camera to wildlife refuges regularly.  His main photography goal is to keep on doing what he’s been doing.  It is fun. \nBill is the secretary and a former president of Mid-Atlantic Photo Visions (formerly Nature Visions)\, a member of NVPS for the past ten or so years\, and the winner of a small number of photography ribbons and awards from those two organizations. \nBill is a retired foreign service officer and trade negotiator who served in Washington\, Korea and Japan and enjoyed/suffered through more than a few travels to other points as a minor representative of American diplomacy.  Follow him on Facebook for his views on current events; he doesn’t post his pictures there. \n  URL:https://nvps.org/home/event/members-gallery-passages-with-fred-krebs-cambodia-with-bill-corbett/ CATEGORIES:Activities,Member's Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nvps.org/home/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Krebs-head-shot.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200922T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200922T210000 DTSTAMP:20200816T003018Z CREATED:20200725T180921Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200816T003018Z UID:18435-1600804800-1600808400@nvps.org SUMMARY:Member’s Forum – Photographing India's Golden Triangle with George Hogeman DESCRIPTION:George Hogeman\nGeorge Hogeman retired in 2019 following 31 years as a Consular Officer with the Department of State. His assignments took him and his family to Nigeria\, Canada\, Tanzania\, Afghanistan\, China\, and India.  He fondly remembers shooting Kodachrome and Ektachrome with a Yashica SLR through the end of the nineties when he switched to digital. \nSince 2014\, he’s used Olympus Micro Four Thirds cameras with a variety of Olympus and Lumix glass. He enjoys landscape\, wildlife\, and astrophotography.  He and his wife Geri have two adult children.

Moving water is fascinating whether it is in majestic waterfalls or tiny streams. It has many moods – from lively and energetic to peaceful and calm. Lynn will discuss how to capture some of these moods with techniques she uses in the field such as varying shutter speeds and filters. She also will discuss techniques she uses in post-processing to accentuate lines\, shapes\, and textures to help bring out the feelings she wants to evoke. Lynn also will talk about photographing reflections and water droplets. \nLynn became serious about photography in June 2015. That month she began shooting RAW at a workshop in Acadia National Park\, and she took Corey Hilz’ class “Lightroom in a Day”  and started processing her images. She is passionate about combining her photography with her cross-country road trips. She loves her Nikon D850.
