The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at the Alley Pond Environmental
Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd, Douglaston, NY 11362 >Map of location<
<http://goo.gl/8cnmjT> at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, June 19, 2019. Free
admission. Refreshments served.
Our guest speaker will be Marie Read, presenting “Capturing the Spirit of
Birds”:
What does it take to create photographs that reveal the essential spirit of
birds? For wildlife photographer Marie Read it means understanding and then
capturing their behavior, and in this presentation she’ll show you how it’s
done.
Marie will share the backstories to her compelling images of birds, many
of which appear in her latest book Mastering Bird Photography: the Art, Craft
and Technique of Photographing Birds and their Behavior, published by Rocky
Nook earlier this year. Whether you’re a bird watcher or an experienced
photographer, you'll gain a wealth of tips to help you improve your own images.
You’ll learn that being observant, understanding birds’ body language, and
taking your time contribute far more to getting great bird shots than having
the newest camera and the biggest lens.
Wildlife photographer and author Marie Read has forged a career out of
capturing special moments in birds’ lives, creating images that combine beauty
with impactful storytelling. Marie’s award-winning images have been featured
nationally and internationally in magazines, books, and calendars.
Her articles and photo essays about bird behavior and bird photography
have appeared in Living Bird, Bird Watching, Nature’s Best, and Wild Planet,
among others. She has authored or co-authored five books.
Copies of Marie’s book will be available for sale after the meeting, cash
or check only, please.
Hope to see you Wednesday!
