SUMMARY:Programs: How to Shoot the Moon\, Fireworks\, Waterfalls\, and Snow with Marie Joabar
DESCRIPTION:Marie Joabar from the Capital Photography Center will present How to shoot the Moon\, Fireworks\, Waterfalls and Snow at NVPS’s December 1st program meeting. \nMarie Joabar has been immersed in photography and photography education for more than 20 years and is passionate about sharing her knowledge about photography\, cameras and digital technology with others. \nWhether she’s teaching photography\, helping one better understand their camera or “see” better compositions\, she works to build one’s confidence and take away the intimidation and sense of overwhelming that often accompanies learning new things. She finds just the right way to take complicated concepts and explain them in a logical\, easy to understand way. \nMarie founded Capital Photography Center in January 2012 to help those with a love of photography grow their skills and reach their goals – be it to capture better snapshots or become a professional photographer. To this end\, her company offers a wide variety of photography classes taught by professional photographers and renowned photographic educators where amateurs\, hobbyists and professionals can learn about the areas of photography suited to their interests and experience level. \nIn addition to running her business and teaching\, Marie finds time to enjoy her own photography and loves capturing people – both candid and posed\, country landscapes\, and dynamic cityscapes\, especially at nighttime.  Her travels have given her the opportunity to photograph in Venice\, Tuscany\, London\, New York and various other locations in the United States.  Her work can be viewed on her website at Marie Joabar Photographs \nOriginally from Michigan\, Marie has lived in Alexandria\, Virginia (outside of Washington DC) for the past 30+ years with her husband. \nThere are certain subjects that can be difficult to expose well such as the moon and snow. Marie will cover how to get proper exposures of each and will share tips to craft exciting shots of these subjects. \nMarie will also cover tips and techniques for capturing waterfalls as a silky flow and will cover the tools that make it easier to be more creative. She’ll also discuss how to freeze the fireworks display and capture it with multiple bursts in one frame.

SUMMARY:Education & Training - Bird Photography with Bill Corbett
DESCRIPTION:Bird photography is for everyone interested in the wildlife\, beauty\, and light that can be found just outside your kitchen window or far beyond.  Bill’s presentation will detail photography of birds at rest and in flight\, for all levels of interest and expertise\, from beginner to advanced. \nBill’s illustrated presentation will cover five topics\, with each discussed in terms of the basics and how to move up a learning curve. \n\nEquipment:  From using a point and shoot superzoom to handling big glass on a gimbal head.\nExposure:  Three words — Shoot in manual.  Three more words — Expose for highlights.\nAutofocus:  Luck favors the prepared.  “Spray and pray” favors those who know and use various features offered by their camera’s autofocus.\nCraft:  “Sun and wind behind” is one of a number of well-known strategies for bird photographers to arrive at better opportunities\, and to come away with better images.\nSetups:  Feeders + flashes = fun.\n\nHope you can make it! \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

SUMMARY:Member’s Gallery – Prints (Virtually): Memories of Greenland with Judy Graham & Digital Travels in Postwar Cambodia & Vietnam - Part II Vietnam with Bill Corbett
DESCRIPTION:Prints (Virtually) Memories of Greenland with Judy Graham\nJudy has been fortunate to do some amazing things in her life\, but the week she spent in Greenland aboard the 100-foot schooner\, the Opal\, remains one at the top of her list. Judy’s presentation is a compilation of photos taken on her journey around Scoresby Sound\, located on the eastern side of Greenland above the Arctic Circle. Her photos also include a stop at a Greenlandic Inuit village\, Ittoqqortoomitt\, inhabited by approximately 400 residents and 250 sled dogs. Hunting whales\, polar bears\, seals\, and musk ox (related to the goat) is still a way of life in this village\, one of the most remote in the country. \nJudy has lived in the Washington\, D.C. area most of her life.  She retired March 1\, 2018 after a long career in the field of human resources management for corporate America. Judy joined NVPS in January 2011 with the goal of meeting local photographers\, doing more local photography\, and learning more about the art of photography. Her goals have been met 10 times over! \nJudy is primarily drawn to photographing dramatic landscapes\, often remote and difficult to get to. Initially her interest was in the desert southwest; however\, in more recent years she has expanded her travel to include colder places such as Alaska\, Patagonia\, Iceland\, Greenland\, and the Canadian Rockies in winter. She does not let the cold get in her way. \nJudy currently shoots with a Canon 5D MK IV. For most of the photos in her presentation she used a Canon 100-400mm II lens and had to handhold due to the motion of the boat. For those who know her\, she is glued to her trusty tripod. \nAs for the future\, she has a trip planned to the Tetons in September 2020 and one to Arizona in November 2020. She is the happy holder of a permit to the Wave (North Coyote Buttes). Beyond that she has no idea. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDigital: From Angkor Wat to Hanoi: Travels in Postwar Cambodia & Vietnam – Part I with Bill Corbett\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.

SUMMARY:Member’s Forum – Cruising the Southern Caribbean with Kevin Linde
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Linde will be discussing and presenting images from a time when he cruised the southern Caribbean. \nKevin was born and raised in Johannesburg\, South Africa and moved to Canada in 1992 where he met his wonderful wife\, Debby. In 1998 they moved to Northern Virginia with their 2-year-old son\, Ryan. Their second son\, Jared\, was born in 1999 when they moved into their current house in Fairfax. The boys are now in college\, with one at the University of Alabama and the other at George Mason. They also have two dogs that are wonderful photography subjects. Kevin currently work as a physical therapist at his own private clinic\, which he founded in 2003\, in Fairfax City. \nKevin became interested in photography about 13 years ago when he bought his first Canon DSLR. Prior to that he had a Pentax SLR\, which he owned for about 5 years prior to switching to digital. Kevin learned the basics with this camera but was never that interested in photography. The change to digital provided instant feedback\, which allowed him to learn beyond the basics a lot faster. Kevin also enjoyed the post processing which he is constantly learning to this day. \nKevin currently uses Canon equipment that he has accumulated over the years. His favorite subject to shoot is motor racing\, which is influenced by his interest in the sport. Not far behind is anything else interesting to shoot. The great thing about photography is that you can take a photo of almost anything out there and make it something unique. \nKevin has been a member of NVPS for only one year but has enjoyed meeting some wonderful people and some great photographers. Kevin enjoys sharing his photos but also enjoy seeing the great talent of others. He is not sure at this point in time where his photography may take him\, but until then\, he will continue to learn as much as he can and will never stop learning.
