Please join the Arundel Camera Club at 7pm on Feburary 6th in person at the Severna Park Baptist Church or on FaceBook Live for a program by Ron peiffer on “Photographing the Southwest”.

Ron Peiffer has been a member of the Arundel Camera Club since 2010. He currently is VP for Contests for the club and representative to the MPA. In addition to being on the Board for MPA, he is a member at large on the Executive Committee, a member of the Contests Committee, and a member of the Judging committee. Ron is an MPA certified judge and has judged competitions for several Maryland photography and community groups. Ron continues to earn points in Arundel Camera Club competitions and currently has achieved master’s level ratings in

both color and black and white prints. His travels have included numerous trips to the Southwest, where he has photographed natural features, ancient ruins and art, and the unexpected wherever it may appear. 

Travels in the Southwest, particularly in the Four Corners Region present a stunning pallet of colors and dramatic landscapes, ancient prehistoric sites, and a big, blue sky that invites you to come with your camera. Be flexible, talk to locals, go with the wind, and you shall be rewarded with opportunities to open your mind and fill your viewfinder with awe. 

Ron Peiffer has traveled the Southwest for nearly 25 years, almost always beginning the journey in Albuquerque, New Mexico and traveling into the high country, the pueblos, the trails, and the ruins of ancient cultures. The subjects include landscapes, but often includes the people and the unexpected. 

He will suggest how to plan a productive photographic trip to the region, with suggestions on how to take advantage of the light and the subjects. And he will suggest a few strategies for post processing to make your images work for you.
