“I captured this image while hiking the trails at Wildwood Park in Florence on a day dedicated entirely to slowing down and looking for small opportunities. This acorn caught my attention because of how perfect it was. I actually picked it up from the ground and placed it on a log as shown in the picture. The contrast between the smooth green body, and textured cap, along with the surrounding moss and bark of the log I felt created a miniature landscape that felt much larger than it really was. I really enjoy macro photography and spending time looking for the unnoticed beauty of the natural world.”

The Huntsville Photographic Society has been promoting the art of photography in north Alabama for over 40 years.  Our members include students, amateurs, and professionals with a wide range of interests that span nearly the complete gamut of photography. Our interests and expertise include print, digital, B&W and color, darkroom, portraiture, macro, landscape, abstract, light painting, architecture, aerial, astro, and 3D.

To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surface and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.” – Ansel Adams

We enjoy sharing our ideas and work at regular meetings where we focus on composition,  technique, processing and post-processing, old and new equipment, education, photo opportunities and expeditions.  We are a competitive bunch, and we especially enjoy presenting our best work each month for critical evaluation by our peers and external judges. Examples of some of our members’ work can be found throughout this site, at exhibitions in the Huntsville area, as well as in the Huntsville Museum of Art.
