The 22nd annual Bob Ross Open Invitational Nature Photography Slide Show will be held at 7 p.m., Friday, November 16, in the Forum Bldg. auditorium (F-104), Linn-Benton Community College, 6500 Pacific Blvd. S.W., Albany.
The show is free and the public is invited.
The show will feature fungi, however other nature slides can be shown. Photographers are asked to bring no more than 20 35mm slides.
For this show, “nature” means parts of the world without humans and human artifacts, in other words, no architecture, hot air balloons, vehicles, backpackers, etc.
Special guests for the show will include professors and students from OSU who are interested in mycology. A Kodak slide projector and screen is provided. Photographers who bring slides in Kodak carousels must have their names on the carousels. Those who do not have Kodak carousels should bring their slides to the Forum at 6:40 p.m. in order to load them into carousels provided by LBCC.
This is an unjuried showing; there are no awards or prizes. Nature photographers from throughout the Willamette Valley gather each year on this occasion to celebrate nature and share their experiences, techniques, favorite places and things to see.
“Beginners sometimes feel hesitant to share their slides, but nature photographers are friendly people, so this is a good forum for making your debut,” says Ross. “Besides, new photographers have new insights and even experienced photographers have something to learn.”
