The Photography Club of Long Island will feature Jeff Mantell from Camera Land NY talking about “The Mirrorless Camera: Latest in Technology” on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 PM at the Port Washington Public Library.
Born and raised on Long Island, Mantell says he likes to capture the diversity of the area with his cameras.
“The casual moments, and the formal ones, the moments we are ready for, and the ones that catch us off guard,” he said. “Catch the moment with your camera, and it’s yours forever.”
Besides capturing moments with his camera and then tweaking them on his computer he’s been involved in retailing photo equipment for almost as many years as he’s been taking pictures. Of this occupation he says he takes real pleasure in helping people get the correct gear for their individual needs, teaching them how to properly use it, and making long-term relationships with people of similar interests.
Mantell advises that taking the next step in photography means moving beyond point and shoot pocket cameras and cell phones to better quality equipment. Although DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras are constantly being improved, he’s excited about sharing his enthusiasm for the new technology of the mirrorless camera. Mantell will discuss features, advantages and benefits of this new and exciting approach to photography.
The Photography Club of Long Island, formerly known as the Port Washington Camera Club, was founded in 1975 and hosts free monthly programs at the Port Washington Public Library as a community service from September through June each year. For more information, please visit pcliphoto.org.
