Covering equipment, exposure, autofocus, craft and flash, Bill will share what’s he learned and what you might need to know.  Whether you are getting started or getting juried with your bird images, this update of Bill’s 2020 presentation will offer useful tips and information.  There will be a few nice pictures, too.<\/p>\n\n\n

BIO <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A photographer of student life and sports for his college yearbook in the seventies, but thereafter without a darkroom or free film, Bill Corbett resumed his photography education in 2006, thanks to the gift of a D70 from his wife, Judy.  Since then he’s become an avid nature and travel photographer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking part in activities at the McLean Photo Club, NVPS, MAPV\/Nature Visions and elsewhere have helped Bill to keep learning. He was also very lucky to find a friend and mentor in the late Bill Prosser, who is sorely missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill served for two decades as a U.S. diplomat and trade negotiator.  He is a longtime volunteer for Mid-Atlantic Photo Visions.  After twenty-odd years raising their three kids in Fairfax County, Bill and Judy moved to Aldie in Loudoun County in 2017, where nowadays Bill does a lot of his bird photography in their back yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
