Fellow club member Wink Gaines gave a presentation last night on Wildlife Photography. She did a wonderful presentation that was very informative and thorough. She offered handouts to those in attendance but I wanted to make them available to all with her blessing. Please visit the links down the right border under Wildlife Presentation Handouts for the PDF handouts.
