This March, learn how to capture stunning images of nature with renowned local photographer Ross Hamilton. Explore! Nature Photography will be at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 18, at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave.

Hamilton will discuss his favorite places to shoot on the peninsula and share professional tips and tricks for working in the field.

This event is an encore presentation by Hamilton at the Sequim Library. The first program, held in early February, quickly reached capacity due to limited meeting room space at the library, leaving many unable to attend Hamilton’s talk.

Hamilton has been awed by the Olympic Peninsula for 40 years. For many of these years, the coast, forests and mountains have been his studio. Well before digital photography, Hamilton packed heavy cameras and equipment into the wilderness backcountry and recorded its treasures on film.

His sensitive, straightforward style celebrates his subject with little embellishment.

Now afflicted with impaired vision, he seldom photographs today, but the timeless beauty of his subject still is enjoyed in books and on calendars, posters and cards.

The Explore! program series offers an introduction to a range of activities on the Olympic Peninsula and beyond. From travel and rhythm to DIY bike maintenance and bird watching, this series will inspire, educate and help you take the first step toward your next adventure.

This program is supported by the Friends of Sequim Library. For more information about this and other upcoming events, visit www.nols.org and select “Events,” and “Sequim,” or call 683-1161.
