Bob McAnally, Sevierville, TN
Title: Project Work Flow
“I have not found any one photographic specialty; I just shoot what I see.” Bob has spent 40 years working with computers for a living and 15 years with film photography as a hobby and 5 years shooting digital. When Bob converted to digital photography, he found he was fascinated by the digital darkroom and excited by its level of control and he dug in to master it. Bob currently has some of his work being shown in the Edward James Gallery in The Shoppes at the Roper Mansion in Dandridge, TN. Bob is a member of the LeConte Photography Club.
Bob will provide a presentation and show the steps involved in creating a 20 image portfolio. Some of the project elements will include: Data Capture, Select Keepers, Post Processing, Select presentation folder, Select Paper, Craft format for Image display on paper, and Print and assemble a portfolio. Bob will include image samples using Adobe Lightroom™ software and the enhancement and manipulation of images to get the final product.

Gloria & Bob Epperson
Title: Upper Peninsular of Michigan Fall Film Presentation
Gloria and Bob will present a 23 minute digital program on the Upper Peninsular of Michigan during a fall season. Images included are from the Porcupine Mountains, Copper Harbor, Bond Falls, Marquette Harbor, Picture Rock National Park, Tahquamenon Falls and River and Tank Lakes. After the digital program, they will hold an open discussion about their methods of photographing streams, falls and other questions on their photography.
Gloria and Bob have visited most of our National Parks in the lower forty-eight states, Alaska and providences of Canada. The mode of travel has mostly been by auto and a travel trailer, which gives them many options when they are waiting for the best timing and weather conditions for their photography. Their passion for wildlife in their natural settings and the excitement of a special location in the right lighting continues to drive them both in the field of photography.
They have sold their work for use in offices, corporations and to individuals. They have shared their photographic experiences with patents in nursing homes, civic clubs, churches and the Wilderness Wildlife Week event in Pigeon Forge.
