Coastal Camera Club to host wildlife photography program Feb. 13

The Coastal Camera Camera Club announces that Irene Hinke-Sacilotto will present “A Passion for Wildlife Photography - The Stories Behind the Images” at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 13, at the Cadbury at Lewes Retirement Community, 17028 Cadbury Circle, Lewes.

With more than 30 years’ experience photographing birds and other animals, Hinke-Sacilotto will cover the considerations, strategies, techniques and equipment required for successful wildlife photography. She will discuss locating, attracting and approaching wildlife, along with safety and ethical considerations.

Since 1979 she has led numerous tours under the auspices of Osprey Photo Workshops and Tours and has conduced many photographic workshops for zoos, nature centers and organizations like the National Wildlife Federation. She regularly conducts lectures at Johns Hopkins University and conducts seminars for other educational institutions, retirement communities, and bird and photo clubs including the New England Council of Camera Clubs.

She is also a volunteer at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, where many of her images are on display. Her nationally distributed book, “Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, an Ecological Treasure,” will be available for sale at this program, and a book signing will follow her talk.
