Topic: Photographing the Everglades
Title: Everglades; The Way I See It
Introduction: The Everglades is a land of subtleties. What this landscape lacks in grandiosity, it makes up for with understated beauty and rarity like none other in North America. The Everglades is a land of endangered plants and animals. A land where alligators and crocodiles coexist. A land that does not reveal itself to just anyone. A land where the patient and mindful are rewarded with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, birds beyond compare, and drama that can only be found in an Everglades summer.
Description: Join Robert as he takes us on a journey into the Everglades and learn his approach to photographing this one-of-a-kind environment.
Starting with equipment, clothing, and insect solutions, Robert will share his techniques, including hi-key and lo-key photography without a flash, black and white photography, lightning photography, and night photography.
He will also discuss composition in this visual journey, including his camera settings and why.
He hopes you leave this talk inspired to experience the Everglades and photograph this World Heritage Site in a new light.
