June Meeting IN PERSON - Stormy Skies & Lightning with Robert Chaplin

  • pinecrest library 5835 Southwest 111th Street Pinecrest, FL, 33156 United States (map)

Fine art nature photographer Robert Chaplin will be presenting how to photograph dramatic stormy skies and lightning (and how to stay safe). Florida is the number one state for lightning strikes. Being one of the most unpredictable forces of nature, lightning storms present a unique challenge for most photographers.  During this presentation Robert will talk about these topics:

-What creates lightning
-Dangers of lightning
-The basics of looking at and understanding radar
-Camera set up
-Shooting with and without a lightning trigger
-Processing images

I sure hope you can join us for this fun and informative meeting. This is especially important for members who have never photographed this type of photography before and plan on attending one of our field trips this month. 

This IS a hybrid meeting, meaning we’ll be meeting in person as well as doing a live broadcast via Zoom (which will also be recorded). After the meeting, the recording will be uploaded to our website. Link to the Zoom meeting is below. The invite will be sent out before the meeting.
