SUMMARY:Wildlife Wonder: The Ins and Outs of Nature Photography
DESCRIPTION:Chatham Community Library\, in partnership with Friends of the Lower Haw\, will host Wildlife Wonder: The Ins and Outs of Nature Photography on Sat\, Jul 26\, 10am-11am in the Holmes Family Meeting Room. This program is free and open to the public. \nPhotographs have a unique ability to tell a story\, kindle emotions\, raise awareness\, and even inspire action.

Beyond creative expression\, photography has the power to draw people together. \nBates Whitaker\, Creative Content Manager at the North Carolina Wildlife Federation\, will discuss the importance of nature photography\, provide guidance on getting started\, and highlight strategies to avoid the pitfalls of unethical wildlife photography practices. Nature photography possesses the potential for a significant positive impact\, but unethical practices can also result in harm. Being well-informed about the wildlife and habitat you interact with is crucial\, as it directly affects their well-being. \nTopics covered include: \n\nEthics in Nature Photography.\nComposition techniques and practices.\nTips for sharing your work responsibly.\n\nThis program is part of the Lower Haw Presents lecture series hosted by Friends of Lower Haw River and is co-sponsored by the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and the NCWF Tri-County Conservationists Chapter.
