Gary Patrick Antigiovanni

Experience Level: Been at it for a while but looking to improve. 

Current Equipment: Nikon D7000 DSLR with an 18-200mm kit lens. I also have a Nikon D3200 DSLR as a backup camera.  Hoping to upgrade to a full-frame camera in the near future.

Post Processing software:  Mostly Lightroom.  I have Photoshop but never really mastered it.  

Photographic interests: I typically shoot landscapes, a little travel, and some portraits when friends ask me to.


Julie Keller

Experience Level: New to the hobby

Current Equipment: Panasonic Lumix and Google Pixel Photography

Post Processing software:  Photoshop, Photoshop Express, and Google Photos Editor

Photographic interests: Nature, Macro, Travel, and anything else that I find to be inspiring!


Edie Ryba

Experience Level: New to the hobby. My husband surprised me with a Nikon CoolPix bridge camera for my birthday last year. I really enjoyed learning about the camera and using it to photograph birds. I traded up to a full frame mirrorless camera to give me a better opportunity to grow artistically and capture my love of nature and the great outdoors. 

Along with taking a lot of pictures, I’ve been learning from online courses. Now I am excited to listen and learn from other SCC members.

Current Equipment: Nikon Z7ii

Post Processing software:  Because I am a beginner I am using Nikon’s software called NX studio but I really haven’t spent a lot of time on it.

Photographic interests: Nature, Landscapes, Wildlife, Macro.


Robert Clark

Experience Level: Experienced with film a long time ago, just getting back into it, new to digital.

Current Equipment: Equipment is Cannon DSLR EOS Rebel T7

Post Processing software:  No post processing software, looking for suggestions.

Photographic interests: Interests are mostly wildlife and nature.


Jan Olivieri

Experience Level: I have been enjoying photography for more than 20 years when I took a New York Institute of Photography certificate course. I am always looking to learn from other photographers and glad to share what I’ve learned over the years. 

Current Equipment: I have a canon DSLR and a new Mirrorless DSLR and lots of lenses, but macro is my favorite type of photography and I love my 100mm Canon macro lens.  I also love my iphone for travel photography.

Post Processing software:  I really only do minimal postprocessing in Lightroom and Snapseed is great for iphone photos. 

Photographic interests: In addition to macro photography, I love landscape, nature, ICM and travel photography.
