OCTOBER PROGRAM FEATURES BILL SULLIVAN
2019-10-21 19:00 - 21:00 | Bend Senior Center/Larkspur Community Center, 1600 SE Reed Market Rd, Bend, OR, 97702, United States
Bill. Sullivan is the author of 22 books and numerous articles about Oregon, including a "Oregon Trails" feature column for the Eugene Register-Guard

In 1985 Sullivan set out to investigate Oregon's wilderness on a 1,361-mile solo backpacking trek from the state's westernmost shore at Cape Blanco to Oregon's easternmost point in Hells Canyon. His journal of that two-month adventure, published as Listening for Coyote (1-minute video), was chosen in by the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission in 2005 as one of the 100 most significant books in Oregon's history. http://www.oregonhiking.com/william-l-sullivan

Cory O'Neil is our presenter for November 18th Program Night
2019-11-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Bend Senior Center/Larkspur Community Center, 1600 SE Reed Market Rd, Bend, OR, 97702, United States
Cory was a member of our camera club for years. Now with his full schedule he critiques for us in the month of November. His outstanding images and knowledge of post processing has been enlightening to many of us. He will talk us through his post processing regime and give us his experience of working with enhancing images.
Cory worked as a guide for an adventure youth camp in the High Sierra which gave him a profound appreciation for wilderness, and the life changing moments that are created by simply spending time in a world mostly unchanged by the human hand. Like so many others, he found himself moved and challenged in ways that were hard to describe, and from these moments, a life-long passion for wild areas--and the preservation of those areas--was born. This love of wilderness has remained a central part of who he is as a person for almost three decades. In that time, he’s found that photography has provided a means to share some of what he experiences with others.
Perhaps unconventionally, he shares an image only if it communicates the deepest emotions of the moment. Often he returns many times to a single location in order to capture “the” image, at the sacrifice of visiting many places briefly. And so, visitors won’t find his gallery packed full of thousands of images from hundreds of locations. Instead, they will find fewer images, each unique in its own beauty, capturing the essence of the place it was taken at the very finest moment.

Zoom Oct. 19th Program Night Features Steve Peters - Astrophotography
2020-10-19 19:00 - 21:00 | OR
For the October program I will discuss astrophotography that can be done primarily with a camera and tripod. I plan to touch on nightscape planning and composition, focusing, technical considerations for shooting in the dark, and maybe a bit about post-processing. My goal is to provide enough how-to instruction and perhaps inspiration to get a few folks to go out and try some night sky photography themselves. Hope to see everyone on Zoom.
I’m a photography hobbyist concentrating on landscape, seascape, and nightscape photography in my limited spare time after work, family, life, etc. I am a product manager for Orion Telescopes & Binoculars, a California-based company where I have worked since 1995 (now remotely).
I picked up “terrestrial” photography in earnest in 2014 after attending a one-day workshop on seascape photography in Santa Cruz, CA. But I have been doing deep-space astrophotography – using telescopes as the lens – since the late 1990s. I do it for enjoyment as well as for work; my astrophotos are used in Orion’s direct-to-consumer catalog, websites, advertising, and products.
In recent years my personal “astrophotography” pursuits have been focused more on what I can capture with a DSLR or mirrorless camera and standard photographic lenses on a tripod; namely, wide-field “nightscape” scenes often featuring the Milky Way set against interesting foreground elements. I also enjoy shooting the Moon, the planets, comets, the occasional solar eclipse, and star trails.
