This month's CT Valley Camera Club's meeting will be on Monday, March 28th, 2011 at the Deep River Library at 7:00pm.  We are pleased to have as our guest speaker, Stan Malcolm who will give a presentation on "Nature Photography ALong the Air Line Trail".
 
The Air Line was once a railroad renowned for its relatively straight course from Boston to New York - "as if by a line drawn through the air." You can still find lumps of coal left over from the steam era.  Today the rail bed has been converted to a Connecticut linear park and hiking trail. 
 
Award-winning photographer Stan Malcolm has been documenting the trail for over nine years.  His "Along the Air Line..." web site offers over 4,000 photos and serves as a guide to what can be seen on the trail, as well as encouragement to experience nature firsthand.
 
The program will highlight the scenic beauty, flora, and fauna of the Air Line Trail, including advice on the best photo locations.  Stan will also provide basic tips for budding nature photographers, including discussions of shooting conditions, composition, negative space, depth of field, macro photography, and the relationships between shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.
