More on Exploring Photography
Our April 17th meeting will feature a special presentation:
Exploring Photography – South Atlantic Ocean
By Enrique Aguirre
Since 2002 I have concentrated most of my travels around the coast of the Atlantic Ocean with the hope of producing a book (just 2 more locations to go: Belize and the Namib Coast). The last of the long trips took me, again, to the Falkland Islands.
Part 1 – the Falkland Islands. Home to 5 species of penguins and the largest colonies of albatross on the planet, these islands provide an amazing wildlife spectacle during the Austral Summer months comparable to the migrations of the Masai Mara. I will show circa 40 images of penguins, seals, albatross, birds of prey and landscapes from the islands and will discuss equipment used, techniques, shooting strategies and location access.
Part 2 – 50° South and beyond – Ushuaia, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. If time allows I will show another 40 images of the planets wildest oceans, the infamous Drake Passage where Atlantic, Pacific and Antarctic Oceans meet… more seals, penguins and lots of ice. I will also talk about equipment, techniques, shooting strategies and access.
I will also bring my camera bag with me
Looking forward to your talk.
Thanks! I’m exited about it too!
I would like to thank all those that came to the slide show last night, it was very exciting for me to do one of these… my first one in two years! I hadn’t given a slide show since i moved to SF and all I can say is… about time!!!
I really appreciate being given the chance to talk about two of my passions, photography and sea birds.
The turn out was great and I hope you all enjoyed the evening as much as I did… I didn’t see too many people falling asleep in the back seats, he, he, he, he!
Enrique -
Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to us and show us your work – I did go away feeling slightly depressed about my own work but it’s good to be inspired and see really great shots.
Regards – Martin
