• David Barr spoke to The Club about his Magic Brook Observatory.
David told us about how he started out with a small bird blind before building his current set-up. He then showed his photos of dozens of different birds, many of which we seldom if ever see. Along with his outstanding bird pictures, David also included images of insects, flowers and wildlife. Club members were left in awe of his talent and determination in capturing his impressive collection. Thank you David. You have inspired many of us to improve our bird and nature photos.
• Butch Dompierre was our featured photographer in the What I Shoot segment, where he demonstrated his ability to capture beautiful photos of spectacular sunsets, birds, insects, flowers and horses. Butch, you show was excellent! Thanks for sharing your time and your talent. You can see Butch’s show in the YouTube video below.
