Scott Linstead: High Speed and Camera Trap Wildlife Photography
The Photographic Guild of Nova Scotia is pleased to host a special presentation by Scott Linstead on Saturday, January 28, 2012.
A full-time wildlife photographer who specializes camera trap and high-speed photography, Scott Linstead has published articles in Natural History Magazine and has a column on bird photography techniques in Outdoor Photography Canada. His unique skill set applies both in the field and to captive situations. Scott has yet to encounter a natural behavior that couldn’t be captured on camera, from extremely high-speed insect action to elusive subject set-ups.
In this unique presentation, Scott will discuss his philosophy on creating wildlife imagery. Although Scott straddles both the traditional and high-tech camps in his photographic endeavours, the technical, biological and ethical subtleties of high speed and camera trap photography will be examined in particular. Get a peek behind the curtain at the massive technical undertakings of his most published images and hear a firsthand account on the realities of publishing natural history photography for a living.
As a secondary topic, Scott will discuss his latest endeavour: aerial photography from radio controlled helicopters.
Join us in Theatre A of the Burke Education Building (corner of Inglis and Robie Street) of Saint Mary’s University at 7:30 pm, Saturday, January 28, 2012. Tickets are $20 at the door and there will be great door prizes from our sponsors: Atlantic Photo Supply, Black’s, Carsand-Mosher and Henry’s.
