Breakthrough Photography Launches New Ultra Slim Filters

Just under 3 weeks left to get in on these breakthrough filters at a discount and be part of helping to launch a new company!

I’ve been using these filters for several months already and I love them. I’m really impressed with their quality and the optics – and with the young entrepreneur who saw complacency in the market and was willing to go up against entrenched competition with a better mouse trap. That takes some guts and he pulled it off.

Opening today on the 2nd Floor the National Museum of Natural History Presents the Annual Nature’s Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards Exhibition.

Within a 4,000 square foot exhibition hall, 60 large-format prints are displayed—some at nearly life-sized proportions—with two accompanying HD videos. Museum visitors are taken along on a virtual global safari and are introduced to the image-makers and their stories from behind the camera lens.

work over the past 40 years and the contributions he has made to natural history awareness. “Photographers everywhere are making a difference in the way we see the world and our place in it,” says Wolfe. “Never stop looking: no matter where you are,
there are good photographs to be made.”

Art will be doing a book signing of Earth Is My Witness on November 13, as well as attending the awards presentations that night.
