Jim Picardi: Whales - The Big Picture

Whales are mammals and just like us, they breathe air, have hair, are warm-blooded, give birth to live young, and feed their young milk. There are more than 90 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises, collectively known as cetaceans. Although they are found in all oceans, this discussion will focus on those most commonly seen in the Pacific. We will be looking at migration patterns, feeding habits, and, most germane to our club, locations where they are most readily photographable.

This month Bob Cross will share with you how to use DaVinci Resolve for video editing. They have a very good free version for people wanting to get into video. He will share with you how to use the software and some tips for making great videos.

The zoom link will be sent out prior to the meeting by Bob. You must have yourself flagged as receiving club emails to be notified.

Program: Eric Schuette: Living with the Eagle Hunters of Western Mongolia

A visual journey into Western Mongolia and the time spent living with the famed Kazakh Eagle Hunters who have resided there for 1000's of years. Unlike most tourists to the region, we were fortunate to go on hunts (some successful), learn how to hunt with an eagle, dine with them, and develop a huge amount of respect for them and their way of life.

Who: Club members and visitors
Program: Barbara Fleming: Hunting for Cheetah

Barbara Fleming has spent the last twenty years photographing this highly endangered species. She will share with you her experiences and knowledge of them, especially in the ecosystem along the southern edge of the Serengeti in Tanzania. Sadly, cheetah populations have declined 50% in the last four decades and are only now becoming subject to growing research into the lifestyles and patterns and some rebound in numbers in local areas. The general principle that the best way to better photograph a wildlife subject is by becoming more knowledgeable about the animal itself applies to this species. She will share images that convey the beauty and nature of this still-dwindling species. Barbara's emphasis in her photography is to show emotion in her images. She will illustrate her approach and suggest ways you can evoke emotion in your images regardless of species.
