Sarnia Photographic Club is pleased to announce our guest speaker for the February main meeting will be Dr. Gail Bisson, who will present her talk on bird photography: “How to get the winning shot”.

Gail will be explaining how she approaches bird photography, her fieldcraft, and tips and tricks to getting that special image. Gail is a self-taught bird photographer who began photographing birds in 2011. Her passion for birds started after a trip to Tanzania in 2011. She photographed a lilac-breasted roller with her point and shoot camera and loved the results. This was her “spark” bird. Upon her return to Nova Scotia, she googled “bird photography” and joyfully jumped into the rabbit hole. This hobby/passion has translated into wonderful trips to remote countries, wonderful new friends and a desire for conserving natural habitats for birds. She supports the Nature Trust of Nova Scotia and the Nature Conservancy of Canada. In 2020 she won the Audubon Photography Award (Amateur division), the BPOTY (Bird Photographer of the Year) "Inspirational Encounters" category and the Inaugural Kingbirder contest 2020. She was a finalist in the Birdwatching Magazine “Color of Birds” and "Birds in Flight" contest and the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. In 2021, she was awarded 2 Highly-Commended images in the Bird Photographer of the Year 2021 Awards. She has placed in the Top 100 Audubon images 9 times and had made the finals in BPOTY 2018 and 2019. She is currently a judge for WildArtPOTY, Kingbirder and Birdlife Australia.
