Nature in Photographs, the first annual photography show at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center, Slatington, held an opening reception March 23.
There was a good turnout of guests who enjoyed the variety of photographs. Both the subjects and the photographers were from a wide area as well as locally.
From the approximately 150 entries, 50 were chosen to be entered in the show in three categories: wildlife, scenic and macro.
Phil Campbell, one of the judges, will be teaching a nature photography class for beginners to intermediate May 17 and 24. His class will be equally applicable for digital or film cameras. Each person will receive a DVD of the class material.
Anita Collins and Bob Hoopes also served as judges.
Charlotte Bentz of Lynnport said she has a certified wildlife habitat. She was watching the flicker she photographed and waiting for babies when a grackle "kicked her out and used the nest for her own babies."
The show was open through April 5, March 25-27 and April 1-3.
The People's Choice award included a canvas wrap print from Dan's Camera City, Allentown, valued at $300.
Press photos by ELSA KERSCHNER Mary Coover looks at the picture of 'Lehigh Gap Nature' which was entered by Andrew Hollywood. She said the entry was in great detail. It took first place in the scenic category.
