Program: In Shackleton’s Footsteps: South Georgia and Antarctica with Dave Wilson
In December 2024, Dave Wilson and son Drew, joined a bucket-list expedition to South Georgia and Antarctica during which, by luck as much as by planning, they ended up visiting all the important sites related to the greatest rescue story ever told – the two year efforts of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition to get back to safety after their ship, Endurance, was stuck in pack ice. This presentation covers the important locations they visited and is illustrated by my photos and also those of Endurance photographer Frank Hurley.
“I’ve been an avid, mostly amateur, photographer for about 45 years during which time I’ve been fortunate enough to photograph such amazing things as Antarctic wildlife, motor racing at Circuit of the Americas, Texas rodeos, southwestern desert landscapes, family portraits and local community celebrations. I have also taught workshops at Precision Camera in Austin and have led photowalks around Central Texas. As you will note if you follow my daily photoblog (at http://www.davewilsonphotography.com) or Instagram account (@DaveWilsonPhotography), I have wide photographic interests but my current focus is on photojournalistic work. I’m a regular contributor to the Dripping Springs Century News and am proud to be one of the credentialed photographers for the UT Longhorn Band.”
Member Photo Share Theme: Eye Catchers
There are some objects that demand attention. They stop you in your tracks and dominate the scene you were photographing. They may be animals, vegetables, minerals, monumental, historical, architectural, cultural, etc. Select two of your images that caught your eye.
You are encouraged to send 2 images for this part of the meeting, on this topic … or another if you prefer. Please rename your images 1FirstName_LastName.jpg, 2FirstName_LastName.jpg and send to photos@jerrysargent.com no later than July 15th to make sure they are included. This is mostly a Show and Tell time, but if you are looking for a critique or help with an image, you are welcome to ask for that sort of feedback.
