Zach Warner: Funtography

Brief Description / Take Away

In this creativefun, and entertaining program, Zach will explain his concept of "Photography Forecasting". Zach is able to capture the images he does by reading people and looking 5 steps ahead in multiple directions.

Biography
I’m half German sausage and half Italian sausage, and that makes for one tasty sandwich! My favorite past time is being on tour. There is nothing like being in a different city and state every day, constantly meeting new people and making connections.

Clymer Meadow Field Trip
Call for Images

Our field trip to Clymer Meadow yesterday was quite a different experience from last years' Spring outing which provided material anyway one looked. This Fall trip provided lots of interesting photogenic subjects that were hard to find and challenging to photograph. If you went to Clymer Meadow, please send me 6 images for the field trip video by October 13th. Feel free to add as many additional photos of your fellow photographers as you choose. Image files should be resized to 1920 x 1280 px. You may include your name/watermark on your pictures if you wish. Attach the files to an email and send to f-richards@sbcglobal.net.

The manager of the Clymer Meadow preserve keeps a mailing list that he uses to keep interested people aware of what is going on – activities, tours, work days, field trips… If you would like to be included, just send Brandon an email requesting to be added to the list - Brandon Belcher Brandon.Belcher@tnc.org.

NOVEMBER FIELD TRIP

WHAT: ZOO ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND LUNCH

WHERE: THE DALLAS ZOO

WHEN: 9 AM, NOVEMBER 16TH (Rain Date, Nov. 23rd)

 

Please join us for a pleasant morning stroll around the Dallas Zoo in November. You can get your admission tickets and parking online (https://www.dallaszoo.com/). Plan to gather just inside of the entrance when the zoo opens at 9 AM. There are lots of subjects to photograph and you can get some excellent images. Earlier this year I made some images that I submitted for consideration for the 2025 Dallas Zoo calendar and my shot of a Western Green Mamba was selected. A couple of years ago I photographed bees visiting a plant at the zoo and won $50 in the State Fair photography contest with that shot. So, for folks that haven’t been able to travel to far off locales, I suggest coming on our zoo safari and hunt up some great nature photos. And even if you are a Dora the Explorer, come with us and just have some fun. I plan to bring 2 camera bodies and lenses, so I don’t have to change lenses in a hurry when situations change. We will try to gather at the Prime Meridian Café around 11:30 AM for lunch. I hope you see you there.
