May 2014 Meeting

from Eric Bowles' website

The West Central Georgia Shutterbugs have invited Eric Bowles to speak at their Tuesday, May 13th meeting, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose room of Hightower Memorial Library, located at 800 West Gordon Street (across the street from Upson Regional Medical Center) in Thomaston. He will show images he took at Arabia Mountain (the most easily identified landscape of the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area), which he describes as “Stone Mountain’s smaller and older sibling.” Eric’s images depict this unique habitat and the tiny plants that live there. He will discuss techniques and equipment for macro and close-up photography he used to get some wonderful shots in this special location (DeKalb County).
