Photography in Motion, with David T. Chapman
Wednesday, Nov. 7 at 6:30 p.m.
During this presentation, the audience can experience life in motion. It provides an opportunity to see how everyday things develop and finish. It includes what goes on in the daytime, but also the impressive changes that occur at night. Everything from shooting stars, Aurora Borealis, thunderstorms and cities that come to life after the sun has gone down. Many people look at fog as a stationary thing. In this feature, you get to see fog come to life and watch it dance from one end of a field to the other, creating various different optics in the process. Watch sunrises evolve into day and sunsets disappear into the night. This presentation is a real crowd-pleaser because of its constant movement involving interesting subjects. It enlightens the imagination.
