Pfeiffer Nature Center Program to
Focus on Photography

PORTVILLE, N.Y. - A program sponsored by the Pfeiffer Nature Center will bring everything into focus - camera wise that is.

Professional photographer Tom Martin will facilitate "Picture This" from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 23, at the Portville Free Library.

"Picture This" will take participants on a fascinating journey into nature photography.

"Tom believes there are two sides to good photography, the technical side and the seeing side, said Chris Walden, executive director of the Nature Center. "Using diagrams and lots of images, Tom will address knowing your camera, exposing properly, finding the right light, composing for impact, using depth of field, equipment and filters."

Participants will learn by doing and will leave with tips and suggestions to take home and try on their own to bring their pictures to life.

"The Pfeiffer Nature center is truly where science, art and nature come together," Walden said. "And this workshop is a perfect example of that."

The program is $10 per participant.

To have a critique of some of your images, e-mail them to tom@tommartinstudio.com by Monday, April 20, and they may be shared during the presentation.

Space is limited; reservations must be made by 4 p.m. Monday, April 20, by calling the Pfeiffer Nature Center's administrative office at (716) 933- 0187 or going online at www.pfeiffernaturecenter.org.

The Pfeiffer Nature Center is situated on two separate tracks of land close to the nearby centers of Portville & Olean.

The Nature Center has a land mass of more than 500 acres. The Outdoor Learning Laboratory, Living Museum of the old growth forest and Historic Pfeiffer-Wheeler Log Cabin are located on the Lillibridge Preserve at 1974 Lillibridge Road.

At Yubadam Road is the larger Esheleman Preserve. Both preserves are carry in/carry out facilities.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly
