Harold Davis, professional photographer, author, father (3 boys, one girl) and lecturer will regale us with his knowledge and exploits. His interests are broad.
Harold is perhaps best known for his many books on Photography and Photographic Technique: (Practical Artistry: Light & Exposure for Digital Photographers, The Photographer's Guide to Yosemite & the High Sierra: Where to Find Perfect Shots and How to Take Them, 100 Views of the Golden Gate, Digital Photography Digital Field Guide) as well as other interesting topics like: Google Advertising Tools: Cashing in with AdSense, AdWords, and the Google APIs, and The Monster Book of Algebra just recently published.
Harold has led several Night Photography and Landscape Photography classes at Point Reyes, and is currently working on Photoshop Postprocessing Techniques as well as "Photographing Family, Children and Other Weird Things".

Tom TaylorEvent HostAs a photographer still working in film, Harold has inspired me to go out and try to capture the magic of the night. A truly inspiring presentation by a talented photographer and teacher! We hope to have him back!! -

AndyThis was a great lecture! I enjoyed it very much and was sad to leave a little early (kids - what can you do?). I was not familiar with stacking in Photoshop - this was a great technique to learn. I wonder if you could use a film camera to avoid the exposure gap seen in digital night sky photography?

Wayne LawtonVery informative demonstration.
Harold was very knowledgeable and candid and provided a wealth of information both on technique and processing the digital images. His photos were WOW and I will be buying one or more of his books.

Michael WimbleJust the right presentation for me. Enough details that I can do research to fill in the gaps, but not leaving out so much that I couldn't even figure out where to go for details. Very good speaking skills. Good grasp of his topic. Good interaction with the audience.
