There has been an increasing number of inquires as to our annual Seminar. Due to circumstances, the Peoria Camera Club will not be hosting a seminar this year and possibly future years to come. There were many factors that contributed to this decision. The Peoria Camera Club would like to thank everyone for their support over the last 20 or so years that we have been hosting this event. I am sure it will be missed by many.
Open 2 and City Landscape Galleries are in the Members Only 2018-2019 Gallery. Congratulations to the winners.
Dan Anderson, a landscape photographer from Ellison Bay, WI, will present a program on The Art & Philosophy of Landscape Photography on Tuesday, January 29, from 7-9pm.
Dan will discuss what a landscape photograph “is” and “is not”, the various “types” of landscape photography, and how the “philosophy, emotions and style” of the photographer “work in harmony” to create a work of landscape art.
The discussion of what goes into creating a piece of art will touch on necessary camera techniques and the frustrations that may occur when working in this style of photography. Topics will be illustrated using Dan’s personal portfolio of images.
Examples will also include recent images made with his new photographic tool — a drone. There will be time for questions regarding his new camera platform, drone photography.
You can view more information about Dan and his work on his website, www.danielandersonphotography.com, and on his Facebook page www.facebook.com/daniel.anderson.photos
Have you ever wanted to try out a new lens, but you’re not ready to make a commitment? Peoria Camera Club member Marcia Straub qualified to borrow a lens from LensBaby and did just that!!

You’ll want to hear all about “The Traveling Burnside Project” directly from Marcia, including how she earned the attention of the president of LensBaby!

Hello members,
I have posted the Results of Open 1 and Nature 1. Congrats to the winning photographers. The excel spreadsheets are posted also. We are still working hard on the new website design so please be patient. I can build a house but this web stuff is challenging. Thanks for your patience.

Brian Doerfler, an avid birder and wildlife photographer from Brimfield, IL, will present a program on “Birding & Blogging along the Texas Gulf Coast” this Tuesday evening at Peoria Camera Club, 7-9p.
When not exploring the remote corners of Jubilee State Park, Brian and his wife enjoy traveling about the country in search of new sights and wildlife. Brian is also a long time blogger running multiple sites on wildlife encounters and social behaviors.
During this program, Brian will share his photography and birding observations from their multiple trips to the Texas Gulf Coast region. Brian will also include advice on blogging, insights on his digital image workflow and how those images are then featured on his blogs.
Whether you’re a birder, lover of wildlife, or you prefer to shoot other subject matter, Brian will enlighten you on how you can get more out of your photography by sharing photos and stories from your travels through blogging.
Check out Brian’s wildlife photography in their gallery at EddieSoft.smugmug.com and related blog at WildlifeIntrigued.com.
