    I felt it was worth the money spent. I Learned about light and actually shooting in bright light and how to overcome shadows I don?t want. The instructor gave plenty of time and asked quite often if there were any questions, very knowledgeable and fun

    Had an excellent evening. We could have gone on for hours. Really enjoyed the question and answer session and to hear how the others in attendance do their thing. I would do it again just for the experience and guidance.

    Thank you for considering my image, I know it's a little different from what is usually shared here.While I have been pointing my camera at the night skies for a few years now, this is my first attempt at doing it the way NASA does it. I made a few mistakes along the way and there is much room for improvement, but I am pleased with the final result considering.For this photo of the Heart and Fish Head nebula I used a 45MP, micro 4/3 mono (black & white) camera with a cooled sensor and s

    Title or Location: Eagle at Chalco Hills
    Through various Facebook groups I had heard about an Eagles nest at the Chalco Hills Recreation Area in Omaha Nebraska. A few days later I had an opportunity to drive up that way but limited time to scout for the nest. As luck would have it, I spotted the nest and after a short walk I was able to get a clear angle to take this shot. Eventually one eaglet also appeared in the nest.

    My last dive after a week on Maui. The Mala Wharf is a shallow, 30' deep shore dive with an unbelievable amount of wildlife!These 3 Hihimanu (spotted eagle ray) beauties were cruising through a sea turtle cleaning station where about 15 turtles were getting groomed. I spun from the turtles, and took pictures as I swam along side these beauties. Nikon Z8, 60mm 2.8mm lens, Ikelite housing
