“Larry Winslett is a nature photographer who has chronicled the natural world in many parts of North America, with an emphasis on the Southern Appalachian Mountains.  He has specialized in the region's native wildflowers, rivers and streams, and granite outcrops such as Stone, Panola, and Arabia Mountains in Georgia.  His photographs have been featured in a variety of publications, such as Sierra, Wilderness, and Wild Mountain Times.  His work can also be seen in four permanent exhibits at Stone Mountain Park.”

Some of you may remember Larry from his visit to our meeting over two years ago. He plans to display a PowerPoint presentation of his Nature Photography work as he provides tips, tricks and anecdotes about creating successful and dynamic fine art images using Nature as the catalyst. Larry gives a number of nature photography workshops each year and has authored several books which showcase his photography and ideas. He will be bringing some of his books to display, so if you bring your 10 or 15 dollars you may walk out with something far more valuable.

Larry will also be judging our monthly contest. This month the subject is “Abandoned Properties.” Please visit the website at http://www.sweetwatercameraclub.org/contests/contest-topics/2008 for more contest information. We also will have images from the recent Atlanta Botanical Garden field trip critiqued by Larry.
