His images are in private residences and corporate offices and have been used in regional magazines and for corporate and international publications. Brian teaches workshops, field trips, and classes and speaks to camera clubs, schools, and other non-profit organizations on creativity and photographic techniques. He is well known for his ability to distill complex topics to their essence and explain them in simple, easy to understand ways. His favorite assistant is Dingo, his Parson Russell Terrier, who really is not very helpful but is always ready for a walk in the woods.<\/p>\n<h1>Description of the Talk<\/h1>\n<p>Moon and Half Doom by Ansel Adams is one of his greatest images but it wasn\u2019t accidental that the moon was in the right\u00a0place for that image\u2014he planned it that way.

Brian will show you the resources that are available for planning your next shoot so that the sun\u00a0or moon is exactly where you want it, the sky is clear, and you can find the perfect position to shoot from. He will discuss online\u00a0and offline maps and mapping software and tools, sun and moon calculators, travel books, star maps and software, and\u00a0weather as well as apps for your smartphone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/31sad85i.bmp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7952\"
