Sunrise Sunset Phenomena

Presentation Description
Sunsets and Sunrises are beautiful! Did you know that there are over 100 different phenomenons that can be seen during them? This talk will go over the main ones (including how to photograph Green Flashes) and touch on many more. The goal of this talk is how to enjoy this part of the day (and the odd events during the rest of the day) and more.

Presenter BIO
Greg has a degree in Physics from UC Davis and worked briefly on the Hubble Space Telescope. After retiring, he was a Space Launch photographer for SpaceFlight Insider. He now hosts several online photography groups, and has a newsletter with articles on art and techniques distributed to over 50,000 people a week. He is a judge and speaker for a number of photography clubs and has taught many photography classes including photographic judging, macro, Milky Way, Moon, night and light painting, Green Flash photography, Photographic Fraud, and Cleaning Sensors and Optics. In 2020, Greg won the Best Picture of the Year award for the Northern California PSA for the fourth time in five years. Greg is currently crippled with multiple major cancers. You might notice his voice is way off due to surgery, still he photographs flowers from his wheelchair, does some studio work, and post-processing.

NATURE AS INSPIRATION FOR ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY

Throughout the history of art, nature is probably our biggest influence as a source of inspriration, providing subjects that photograpers respond to and are moved by. It requries observation, study, and contemplation, along with creative license to crop, assign colors, and interpret patterns and natural forms. The focus of this diverse topic will be on the core elements and principles of design and how they can be found in natural environments as abstracts to create strong compositions.

Nancy Ori BIO

Nancy Ori worked for 25 years for pharmaceutical companies as their in-house photographer and Manager of Photo Services. She now owns the New Jersey Media Center, where she continues to do product, portrait, and food photography. She also enjoys teaching photography as well as exhibiting her fine art photographs.

FUTURE GOLD RUSH IN PERSON PROGRAM:

Gold Rush is planning an in-person workshop on Macro Photography on January 20, 2024; a DSLR with macro lens is best, but smart phones also work. Stay tuned for more information. You’re always welcome to check out the website at psagoldrush.org to get current information.

FUTURE PSA CONFERENCES:

It's not too late to sign up for the yearly PSA Photo Festival, held this year in Williamsburg, Virginia, September 27 - 30, 2023, with excellent programs and tours to local photogenic spots. Go to Photographic Society of America for more information.
