The Alaska Society of Outdoor & Nature Photographers is a non-profit social organization dedicated to promoting public education, self-improvement and ethical behavior in outdoor photography. ASONP members participate in group photo trips, an annual juried exhibition, lectures, seminars, formal workshops and image shows. The official ASONP website offers members an additional information resource. The ViewFinder blog provides articles of broad interest and an opportunity to have selected images and writing published, while an e-mail bulletin keeps members apprised of the short-notice opportunities and other time-sensitive issues.
Alaska’s world-renowned wildlife populations and eye-popping scenery offer photographers unsurpassed opportunities for capturing dramatic outdoor images. Though photography is a personal vision quest, much can be gained from associating with others of like interest while sharing ideas and information, particularly during periods of rapid technology.
Any photographer, regardless of skill level, may join ASONP and enjoy the benefits that accrue from being part of this enthusiastic group. Meetings are free and open to the public.
Next Meeting
Milo Burcham presents “Photographic Devices: How to add impact to your wildlife photos”
Our Monday, March 9th meeting will feature Milo Burcham’s presentation “Photographic Devices: How to add impact to your wildlife photos”
This presentation is NOT about photography equipment, but rather, about elements and techniques that can add impact to your wildlife photography. While we already know how to make technically perfect photographs, a portfolio of just “perfect” photos can get boring. Milo will present various “tricks” that give wildlife images that extra punch.
Now a retired wildlife biologist, Milo has photographed wildlife for more than 40 years. He now guides both Arctic and Antarctic trips and conducts wildlife viewing charters in Prince William Sound. He has published images with National Geographic, Audubon, Time, Sports Afield, Alaska Magazine, and many other publications. Milo lives in Cordova, Alaska, where he and his wife Paula have resided for the past 25 years.
