7pm: Mix and mingle 7.15: Review of submitted photos: Wildlife/animals 7.45: Speaker: Rick Beldegreen Wildlife Photography - The Arctic to Antartica and Points beyond Rick is a local Charlotte veterinarian (mostly retired) and wildlife photographer. He has traveled from the Arctic to Antarctica and many places in between to photograph wildlife in their natural habitats. Wildlife photography often entails experiencing unpleasant photo shooting conditions such as extreme cold or heat, driving rain or snow, mud, mosquitoes and more. I find that this often adds to the drama of the images and also helps tell the story of how these animals survive and even thrive under some of the most inhospitable conditions on earth. I hope that some of my images help to encourage people to understand the need to preserve and conserve the beauty and wildlife that exists on this planet. 8.45: Q&A and close Please send ONE image on this month's topic to [masked].
