Northwoods Photography Club Meeting

Northwoods Photography Club Meeting

Wednesday January 10th

6:00pm – 8:00pm

This week Mark Schermeister will run our meeting while Michele Sadaukas will present:  “Astro & Panoramas.” 

Michele Sadauskas’ presentation will focus on nightscape panoramas.  She started out shooting nightscapes with a 14mm wide angle lens, but it was never wide enough!  There had to be a better way to capture all that she saw.  Thus, began her journey into capturing the beauty and immense size of the night sky through panoramic photography.  Michele will discuss the equipment and programs she uses, explain some of her early struggles, and share images of our Northwood’s night skies.

Michele Sadauskas is a nightscape photographer who loves to chase the aurora, lightning bugs, and meteors.  She grew up in Conover, WI on a ‘crick’ and it was there where she fell in love with nature and the night sky.  She fondly remembers lying on the dock with her sister watching one heck of a Perseid meteor shower and getting up early one morning in 1986 to view Halley’s Comet with her Dad.  Even though she loved photography since an early age, it took her a few decades to understand that her love of nature, old things, and photography was best experienced under the cover of darkness.  But, when she did, magic happened.
