About our Program
Carol Serur and Carolyn Whiteside will share their combined knowledge of bird photography. They will discuss lens selection and camera settings, as well as talk about special equipment helpful for birding, and how to get those shots you see in the books.
They will share some of their favorite bird images and offer some tips for processing and printing. Although this is geared for birds, most of the information will apply to all nature photography.
Carol Serur joined the Hill Country Photography Club about 7 years ago, when she became a member in order to learn more about her new found love of photography. Since then, her work has been shown in numerous juried shows exhibited at the following galleries: Watson Studio Gallery, A. Smith Gallery, PhotoPlace Gallery, Dark Room Gallery, Blue Lab Gallery, Bob Bullock Museum, Kiernan Gallery, Options Gallery at Odessa College, Islander Art Gallery, and San Marcos Walker's Gallery. She has images that have been published in Cowboys and Indians magazine and Southern Living magazine. Carol currently serves as a board member and secretary of the Texas Photographic Society which has close to 600 current members.
Carolyn Whiteside will talk about Travel/Vacation Photography. She will cover several topics including equipment, apps, preparation, helpful hints, etc. which she will illustrate with some of her travel photography. This will be an informal presentation and she encourages members to participate and add suggestions for things they have found useful.
Carolyn studied education at Oklahoma State University, and taught at the high school level for 20 years before retiring. She and her husband, Bobby, both enjoy camping and traveling. She renewed her interest in photography as a way to entertain herself in retirement. After seeing her wildlife and nature images, local wildlife artist Wade Butler encouraged her to show and sell her work.
She is now a regular exhibitor at Gruene Market Days, Oysterfest in Fulton, The Official Texas Arts and Crafts Fair in Kerrville, and The Annual 4th of July Rockport Art Festival. She has won numerous awards, and has images published in Texas Parks and Wildlife and Hill Country Magazine. She also has images in an Embassy Suites in San Antonio, and the Gruene River Restaurant in Gruene.
