May Meeting

Join us Monday, May 4, at the James City County Library, 7770 Croaker Rd., Williamsburg, at 6:30. Billy Dobson will be our guest speaker. “I’ll discuss my expedition to Kenya last year to try to capture some out of the ordinary images. Rather than repeating past efforts, I decided to attempt to place remotely operated cameras along the game trails and try my luck from a distance. I’ll review the planning, risks, challenges and consequences of taking this approach. One of the consequences, which was captured on video, was the total destruction of a Nikon camera. I’ll go over the camera settings used, the photographic success rate, and share some of the images captured, both good and disastrous. Hope to see you there!”

Member photo theme is Spring.
