Wilderness Photography with FIMA GELMAN

Our next meeting with a speaker will be SEPTEMBER 15, 2015
(August 25, 2015 is our annual BBQ!)

Free for members, guests welcome for $20.

Special guest FIMA GELMAN will talk about his recent Wilderness Photography experience with us!

"I just finished a one month, almost 300 mile backpacking trip from Echo Summit (near Lake Tahoe) over Mt. Whitney to Whitney Portal near Lone Pine (Pacific Coast Trail sectional/John Muir Trail). After few days on the trail, PCT hikers gave me a trail name – “Tripod” – because I was carrying a 7.5 pound tripod. After 9 tiring days, I had to ship my tripod home.

I am a professional photographer by trade. Nature and star-trail photography are my hobbies. At first I was photographing just vistas, but after a while they felt empty without people in them – I am a portrait photographer for a reason. So I started to include hikers in my photos."

Fima will talk about his experience, backpacking photography, panorama photography and star-trails with us! :)
