Whatevah is chosen for photo display!

Post by nwscubamom »

Our own Whatevah (Pete) has recently had four of his excellent photos chosen to be on display at the [Very Big Deal] Puget Sound Georgia Basin Ecosystem Conference. Feb 8 - 11.

I went to this conference, which is held every 2 years), last up in Vancouver BC. It has a TON of conference attendees - many of whom are scientists and researchers. This year it will be in Seattle - a lot closer to home. What a fantastic opportunity to show off his photography skills.

Here's his pics:

Congrats to Pete on his awesome entries!

Thank you all - I'm so excited that my photos will be on display, and I really appreciate the feedback. What Janna didn't mention is that she had four of her own photos chosen for display at the conference. I've seen them and am very impressed with both the quality of the images and the framing of the scenes - c'mon Janna - post them for everyone to see!

Oh my... your Painted Anemone photograph is remarkable - the lighting is perfection! I'm hoping to make it to the reception and am looking forward to seeing you and Janna there.

I feel like throwing my camera into the streets as I am OBVIOUSLY not using it correctly.

My hood is off to you all. Its not easy to get such good shots. I am envious. :notworthy:
