Program: My Photographic Journey – Dave DeVore
Dave will be showing his photo contest entries from 2020 to present. In the process, he’ll tell the backstory behind many of them and the techniques, planning and preparation that went into them. He’s hoping club members of all levels of experience will take away something they can apply to their own photography work.
Dave has enjoyed photography since boyhood, beginning with Brownie, Instamatic and Polaroid One-step cameras as his family’s photographer. His first digital cameras were Kodak and Sony point and shoots for mission trips to Mexico, tours of Europe, Israel and Egypt. This opened a whole new world, no more double prints, pictures were free at last! He has done mission work in Kenya since 2009 using various superzoom cameras on safaris. He chose a DSLR in 2012 and as nature photography became a passion, he progressed through the Nikon lineup, shooting over 300,000 images with a D500 alone. He went mirrorless with a Z6II and graduated to a Z8. He’s out in nature nearly every morning regardless of what part of the world he finds himself in, camera in hand. Since 2019, he has taken groups to the Texas coast and to New Mexico for nature workshops.
He became a drone photographer/videographer in 2021 and has held an FAA commercial license since 2023.
Member Photo Share Theme: Monumental
This word has a lot of applications . . . a statue in the town square, a dinner of prodigious portions, a memorable blunder, or a magnificent mountain scape. In general terms: think of commemorative, big, breathtaking, unforgettable scenes. Creativity is always appreciated.
So, let your imagination roam as you create or select two pictures to send to Jerry Sargent at photos@jerrysargent.com
