The following presentations are scheduled for the remainder of this year. Suggestions for future programs are welcome; email me at the email above.

September 8: “ Still Life: Beyond Fruit Bowls and Flowers” by Betsy Wilson

Betsy Wilson began learning photography after retiring from a career as a newspaper publisher. Her passion for photography
includes a wide variety of types including macro, landscape and nature photography. In addition to being honored as Photographer of the Year Award at the Chester County Camera Club, she has received numerous recognitions for her artistic photography including a Silver Medal awarded at the Wilmington International Exhibition of Photography, and First Place Award in Photography at the Philadelphia Flower Show.

In her presentation "Still Life - Beyond Fruit Bowls and Flowers”, Betsy will explore the world of still life photography through her unique perspective. A combination of traditional still life subjects, nature's fascinating still subjects, and a few whimsical and unusual creations, Betsy's still lifes provide studies in composition and lighting. Unlike landscape or street photography,
the photographer is in complete control of subject matter, composition, shape, color, depth of field, lighting and presentation. The true skill lies in the ability to take something mundane and everyday out of its normal habitat and transform it into something of beauty by using our skills as photographers.

I am looking forward to hearing Betsy’s presentation on Monday, September 8; I hope you will attend either in person or by the Zoom broadcast.
