Our November meeting sees us welcome our very own Warren Capps. In July Warren attended a photo tour of Mongolia which focused primarily on the Naadam Festival and eagle hunters. While on the tour he faced numerous technical challenges such as photographing eagles on the wing, night sky photography, athletic events, natural portraiture, running horses, etc. He will discuss the techniques he used to capture these images – both his successes and his failures. Additionally, he will share photos of his journey and the astounding beauty of Mongolia.
About Warren
Warren has been using a camera for over 50 years primarily as a hobbyist, but occasionally venturing into professional work. His photography education is haphazard and desultory at best, although he has expressed a particular fondness for travel workshops and tours, having attended many over the years. He has also served as a photography judge for the Hays County Livestock Show and the Texas State 4-H photography division. His work has been selected for recognition by the Photographers of Dripping Springs (PODS), the Amanda Smith Gallery in Johnson City, the Hive in Bee Cave, Texas Tech University shows and the Hill Country Alliance annual calendar. He has had two shows at the Mercer St Gallery in Dripping Springs. He is a past President of Photographers of Dripping Springs.
He has traveled to and photographed in all 50 states, 9 Canadian provinces and over 40 countries (many of them courtesy of the US Navy). His equipment specialty is Olympus (OM Systems) gear, going back to the first OM-1n camera he bought back in 1979 (which he still has and uses).
