Fred Krebs just returned from a 3 1/2 week Overseas Adventure Travel trip around Patagonia. This presentation will include images from across that remote, diverse and incredibly beautiful region as well as a few from Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls (spectacular in its own right).

Fred joined NVPS in 2018 and is thankful for how much it has helped him improve his photographic skills. He generally takes away something from each meeting that he can use. Fred especially appreciates the Portfolio Projects and how much he learns from his participation.

Fred takes pictures of things that interest him (which frequently changes). Since retiring Fred and his wife have increased their travels and the photo opportunities have grown as well.  He loves travel photography but his pictures may include just about anything else. Recently, he has become especially fascinated with black and white and hopes to improve in that area.

Fred purchased his first camera in 1975 shortly after coming to Washington, DC for a new job.  The first paycheck paid the rent and with the second he bought an Olympus OM 1 (which he still has). While he has tried virtually every brand of camera from Canon to Sony, Fred remains partial to Olympus and the mirrorless MFT system because of its relatively small size. However, he took several of the photos in this presentation with his iPhone 13, which has assumed an increasingly larger role in his photography. He subscribes to the saying, “the best camera is the one you have with you”.
