Not capturing the cute smiles she wanted, she switched from a point\u2019n shoot to a DSLR (Nikon D80). She attended her first Nature Visions show at Meadowlark in 2007 and discovered there were camera clubs in the area! She joined NVPS in January 2008 and was hooked on photography as a hobby. She was the president of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society (NVPS) from 2014 to 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Georgette advanced her photography skills by taking hands-on classes. Some of her instructors included John Gonsalves, Eliot Cohen, Corey Hilz, Nikhil Bahr, Josh Taylor, Mike Moats, and Denise Silva. By attending NVPS lectures, workshops, and field trips she believes her photography has evolved to a higher level. Participation in competition has helped to give her a critical eye when capturing and post-processing her images. She reads online columns daily to keep \u201cup to date\u201d on new camera equipment and software tips. Recently Georgette switched from a Nikon D7200 camera to a Fuji X-Pro2 to lighten her load.<\/p>\n<p>Georgette captures moments she wants to remember. Her subjects include abstracts, people, places, and nature, but her favorite subject is flower close-ups and macros. Lately she is dabbling more with B\/W images.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her images in print completes the photography journey. Georgette has shown her images at<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Art League in Alexandria, VA,<\/li>\n<li>the Glen Echo Annual Labor Day Art Show,<\/li>\n<li>the ArtSpace Herndon Fine Art Photography Exhibit,<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9430\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9430\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9430\" src=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-Last-Dahlia-of-summer-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-Last-Dahlia-of-summer-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-Last-Dahlia-of-summer-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-Last-Dahlia-of-summer-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nvps.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-Last-Dahlia-of-summer.jpg 1359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Last Dahlia of Summer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nature Visions annual exhibit, and<\/li>\n<li>the Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From September\u2013October, 2015 she had a solo exhibit at Beanetics Coffee Roasters coffee shop in Annandale, VA.

interested in photography for many years and when they married, it was a photographer\u2019s match made in heaven.\u00a0 Both use Canon equipment.<br \/>\nThey try to make<br \/>\none overseas\u00a0trip a year.\u00a0 In 2014 they<br \/>\nspent a total of seven weeks in Uzbekistan, Turkey and Morocco, the subject of this presentation.\u00a0 In addition, they try to make one or two trailer trips somewhere in the states each year.\u00a0 Nancy is an HR expert and, although retired from full time work, she still does consulting work.\u00a0 Bill spent 31 years in law enforcement and ten more in law enforcement sales.\u00a0 He now writes occasional magazine articles and has recently completed his first non-fiction book.<\/p>\n<p>Little known facts?\u00a0 Nancy lived in Afghanistan for three years and got out just before the Russians invaded.\u00a0 And Bill was a working cowboy, <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9434 alignright\"

adjustments and an Epson 1400 for printing.\u00a0 Their next big trip is to East Africa, their fourth trip there, in July, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Bill and Nancy visited three intriguing countries in 2015. \u00a0In the Spring they traveled to the former Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan and exotic and turbulent Turkey. \u00a0Enjoying excellent timing, they left Turkey the day of the controversial elections and one week before a hand grenade attack in Istanbul at one of the major tourist attractions. \u00a0In the Fall they spent three weeks in Morocco, from the High Atlas Mountains to the Sahara desert to a beautiful coastal town. \u00a0Nancy loved the wonderful architecture in the many souks and Bill shot countless street portraits of the (mostly) friendly people.\u00a0 Nancy used Pro Show Gold for this presentation.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9452\"
