Dave Meiss- "Visualization"
Dave Miess is a Great Lakes nature photographer based out of Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin. Dave first put an eye behind a lens over 40 years ago and merged his passion with the outdoors and photography about 25 years ago. Dave has seen the evolution of photography - from his start working with black and white film in a darkroom, through slide film to the latest in digital technology.
While Dave, like most professional photographers, has made the evolution to digital capture - he has kept his "film" sensibilities and history with him. Much of the work, like dramatic skies and saturated colors, comes from his work in the field and behind the camera. However, Dave also realizes the benefits modern technology brings and keeps in mind the adage "What Would Ansel Do?" when sitting behind the computer. Dave prints all of his images on archival papers, canvas, and metal. While he does shoot around the country, he tries to focus on his regional home - the Upper Great Lakes.
Dave's presentation will focus on how photographers can use Visualization -- How to Make What You See in Your Mind’s Eye a Reality.
Scott Pearson- Astro Photography-
Wednesday, 8/10/22, 6-8pm at the Warehouse in Eagle River
"My photography focuses mainly on the Great Lakes regions of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the UP of Michigan, and will expand as I photograph other areas of the country. I currently live in northern Wisconsin and enjoy the incredible beauty, both natural and man-made, that is found throughout the Northwoods. I've spent the majority of my life near Lake Superior and my appreciation for what is found here continues to grow. From the Aurora Borealis to the great ore carriers that navigate her waters, Gichigami offers endless photographic opportunities. I'm a self-taught photographer and continue to improve my work primarily through reading and making more photographs."
