"Photographing Waterfalls" is Topic for November Club Meeting

Members and guests of the Coastal Carolina Camera Club are invited to hear Kevin Adams present a program on "Photographing Waterfalls" at 7 p.m. on Nov. 14 in the fellowship hall of Shallotte Presbyterian Church, 5070 Main Street (behind the public library) in Shallotte. Silky looking water coming down from a waterfall gives a sense of movement. Kevin will discuss techniques, lighting tips and camera settings for capturing the movement of water in a falls.

Kevin is a naturalist, writer, teacher, and photographer who has had a lifelong love affair with nature and the outdoors. Some 35 years ago, he started channeling that obsession to photography, and since then, he has authored nine books, led photo tours all over the world, taught seminars and workshops, and given countless programs about photography and the outdoors. His mother, Phoebe Lorretta Adams, instilled the love of waterfalls in Kevin at an early age and she inspired his first book, North Carolina Waterfalls, published in 1994. Since that time, waterfalls, particularly North Carolina waterfalls, have been a constant part of Kevin’s life. He has always tried to be a good steward for the waterfalls, but with the explosion of people visiting them in these social media times, he thinks that more needs to be done, not just by him, but by waterfall lovers across the state. That’s why Kevin created Waterfall Keepers Of North Carolina. Kevin feels it’s time for him to give something back to the waterfalls that have so enriched his life. Kevin lives in the splendid mountains of western North Carolina with wife, Patricia, several cats, and lots of wildlife.
