Focus Program Meeting – Presentation by Oz Pfenninger on ‘Photographing Antarctica and Neighboring Islands’

Oz and his wife took a three-week photographic journey by ship to the Antarctic Peninsula including visits to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island and the South Orkney Islands in December/January 2022/23. Shore excursions were by 10 person Zodiacs (inflatable rubber boats).

Learn about photographing birds in flight and 7 species of penguins on shore, as well as the difficulties of shooting in a cold saltwater environment. See the beauty of the fantastic shapes of icebergs and snow-covered mountains. And there’s more, including whales, former whaling stations, the present-day danger of bird flu to the birds of Antarctica, and it’s all illustrated by fantastic photos.

NOTE: This will be a Hybrid meeting; we’ll gather at Lone Tree Civic Center AND have members attending via Zoom. Masks are optional at Lone Tree. Zoom details will be emailed to current club members at least one day prior to the meeting.
