First Photography Conference

[Second Hand Pat]

I attended my first photography conference in Ft. Myers this weekend. It was put on by the Florida Camera Club Council (F3C) which hosts this every two years. I drove down Thursday night for an early morning workshop for bird photographers. The first evening Gary and I went to the Ft. Myers River and played with sunset and over things.

This is a pano of the Ft Myers Caloosahatchee Bridge at sunset. (not a great sunset BTW). This image consists of several photos stitched together.

Playing with the sun and shadows. This is me playing around and doing things I have not done before. This experiment was catching half the sun in the corning of the roof. Sort of an interesting effect.

Your first 3 pics look great to my untrained eye Pat , the sunrise under the bridge in particular .

I'm guessing the bird pics are not taken by your camera , but only a test pics youve worked your skills on ?

Thanks Filip, the bird pictures were taken by me with my camera. They were taken during a workshop I had with a bird photographer. Here's another one.

Looks like a fun time Pat! Every 2 years? Looks like you have something to do in the NADA off season! lol

Those egret's and their hairdos always get me, pretty funny.

It was fun Matt. I understand now that it will be every year now. So much for that idea
