Bird photo session with Georgina Steytler
Herdsman Lake Wildlife CentreCnr Flynn St & Selby StWembley,Join me for a fun and 100% dinki di FREE bird photography session at Herdies! I'll do some demonstrations of basic techniques (bring your cameras), answer any and all your questions on any topic (birds in flight, low light photography, market manipulation offences, price of bitcoin...) and, in particular, show you how to use light creatively to get high impact images like this one of a Great Crested Grebe taken at Herdsman Lake last year (Repeat this after me: "Creative Light Creates Drama"). Not only that, everyone attending will get a CHEAT SHEET of my top tips for getting artistic 'light-filled' bird images, whether it be backlight, sidelight, soft light, silhouettes, bokeh or even harsh light.
What's the catch? I am excited to be part of an International judging panel for a new monthly photography competition called WildArt Photographer of the Year (www.wildartpoty.com) and it just so happens that MAY is my month and my nominated theme is 'LIGHT! I rather rashly promised the organisers that I will raise the most money for my nominated charity: Bush Heritage Australia! So all I ask from you in return is to learn, be inspired and hopefully get some sock-rocking amazing images to enter into the May competition.
Ps: I am especially keen to get young people along as they are our conservation future so if you know any budding photographers be sure to bring them along!
Where: Front of Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre (lake side) on the lawn (Cnr Flynn and, Selby St, Wembley WA)
When: Saturday, 15th May 2021 at 9am for a couple of hours - -

Cry Of The Forests Movie Screening

Cry Of The Forests Movie Screening
Ace Cinemas Midland Gate274 Great Eastern HwyMidland,The forests of the south west of Western Australia are found no where else on earth. They are part of one of the most biodiversity rich hotspots on the planet but they are under threat.
Logging is decimating these special places, turning the forests into wastelands. We are clearing our forests at an alarming rate and most of the logs end up as sawmill waste, charcoal or wood chips. Just 15 per cent is turned into quality furniture.
Meanwhile climate change is impacting on the south west and rainfall is declining. The forests play a vital role in creating the rain that feeds the streams, environment and agricultural industries
Yet these magnificent forests are excellent stores of carbon.
$20.00 AUD Admission + $2.00 booking fee = $22.00
