Themes & Programs -

Visions of Light, Form and Color, The Creative Aspects of Photography -

This program will feature Tom and Pat Cory's images of such diverse locations as the Smoky Mountains, Colorado, Maine, Western Ireland, and Provence. They will share their ideas on both the technical and artistic aspects of their work, illustrating their thinking as they create their images. They believe that each of us has our own unique personal vision and that developing this vision and the ability to express it on film is what makes photography exciting, challenging and enjoyable. Tom and Pat will also discuss and illustrate the use of different photographic techniques, demonstrating how they use light, form, and color in their photography.


Digital Photography in the Natural World -

Since going fully digital three years ago Byron Jorjorian has gained extensive knowledge in digital imaging and has taken thousands of breath-taking photographs using digital capture. Using a digital projector, he will discuss some of those images and the knowledge gained during the past three years. Byron will share what it takes to get professional level nature images in the field. But digital capture doesn't stop at the camera, and he will help to de-mystify the digital workflow for the office and the field. He will also discuss equipment choices, software, and procedures to manage and archive images. He will share lots of tips, shortcuts, and real world do's and don'ts from the field.

Understanding the Nature in Nature Photography -

“Icon” images in the Great Smoky Mountains region include moody sunrises, fog-laden landscapes, bountiful wildflowers, and fascinating wildlife. Join Connie Toops for an inspirational and informative look at how these eye-catching nature images are created. Connie will explore thought-provoking topics such as how understanding weather phenomena can put you in the right place at the right time for stunning scenics. Discover how good scouting and note taking will improve your wildflower imagery. Acquire insight into the process of how “becoming one with nature” helps gain the trust of wary wildlife, allowing you to make striking portraits or to record fascinating behaviors.
