Capturing Invisible Light with Don Komarechka

Don't miss your chance to hear Don Komarechka - the Master of Macro give his talk about "Capturing Invisible Light". Infrared and ultraviolet photography are beyond our own perceptions, but what magic exists there? Fantasy landscapes quickly emerge, as do patterns that only insects can see. Using this exotic light, we have the ability to see a different world around us. This talk involves some technical aspects and techniques but it always comes back to the basics of photography: composition and storytelling.

Don Komarechka is a nature, macro and landscape photographer located in Barrie, Ontario. From auroras to pollen, insects to infrared, much of Don’s photographic adventures reveal a deeper understanding of how the universe works. Exploring the world that we cannot see with our own eyes has been a common thread in Don’s career as a professional photographer.

Always science-minded but never formally trained, Don uses photography as a way to explore and understand the world around him. Photographing something unusual or unknown is the perfect excuse to learn something new. Don’s work often pushes up against the technical limitations of modern camera equipment and the physical limitations of light itself.
