Northern Virginia is a hotspot for insect and bird life — not only is it on a major migration route, but it has a unique location between two diverse Atlantic ecosystems. Learn a few tricks and techniques on how local Nikon Ambassador, Kristi Odom, uses her camera to capture local wildlife. You can use these tips and techniques anywhere, but you really don’t need to travel far.

We hope that you are taking care of yourself, your family and your friends. With that priority in mind, the board of directors postponed the first in-person Mid-Atlantic Photo Visions event, formerly Nature Visions Photo Expo, until the fall of 2021.
The change of our name reflects that we provide education on all photography genres, not just nature. Thank you for your interest in Mid-Atlantic Photo Visions. We hope to see you online soon!
Sincerely,
Punit Sinha
President
