Bio Patricia has been a member of NVPS since the late 1990’s. Before then, she had a good Nikon film camera but little knowledge of the “how to’s” of photography. F-stops, shutter speed, depth of field, etc. --what did that mean?  Starting as a total beginner, she learned much of her photography craft through attendance […]
