Porte Ponderings:

I attended a free Wildlife Photography Seminar sponsored by Camera Canada last night in London Ontario. It was amazing to see the new SONY technology in a hands-on display. No, I didn’t win the $1,000 camera that was the door prize, but I can dream.

Camera Canada is also having a Photography Day 2024 on October 6th at Pioneer Village, Fanshawe Conservation Area. For only $15 you get village admission and lunch. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.cameracanada.com/photoday2024 Ticket registration opens August 1st.

The guest speaker, Joe Tavares, gave us his formula for taking photos like his amazing shots. He said the key is to get down to eye-to-eye level. Although not all of us can afford to go on Safaris or afford the amazing equipment that he used, we can follow the simple advice. Composition and inspiration only costs your imagination and time. Getting eye-to-eye with wildlife may take some creativity, but it is how you get timeless shots. Joe Tavares shares his photos on Facebook using the name: Joe T Mirrorless. I’ve already added him to my friends. His photos are awe inspiring.
