OPAS Members Photo Night! 

Organized by Christina Heliker        

January 18th at 7 p.m.

Dungeness River Nature Center, Rainshadow Hall

Free to attend

Yay! After a two-year hiatus, you’ll have a chance to see what our friends have been photographing during the pandemic. Christina Heliker has again generously agreed to organize the photos. She’ll be our technical advisor and assist in projecting images. We encourage you to show off your best bird photos at our January 2023 meeting. Please contact Christina at cheliker@olypen.com, and she will send you the guidelines for submitting your images. Note that the deadline for submissions will be January 11.

This is NOT a contest. Photos will not be judged or critiqued. We ask that you submit no more than 8 photos each, to allow as many presenters as possible to participate. We prefer that your bird photos be from the Olympic Peninsula; however this year we’re also inviting bird photos from anywhere in the world that our local photographers may have traveled. Be prepared to say a few words about your photos, identifying the bird, location, and time of year. New this year, we will be sending your photos and narration to folks attending via Zoom. We’ll also be doing a video recording.

Photo night has been one of our favorite programs, so even if you don’t wish to submit photos, be sure to come and enjoy birds!
