For our February meeting, we will have a presentation by a local photographer, David Pickett. David has been featured in newspapers from both New Hanover and Brunswick County. In David's presentation, he will discuss how to read and use light as a tool to create better landscape and portraits. He will show you how to use the sun as a friend that will yield better color and black and white images.
