In accordance with the Responsible Restart Ohio program, visitors will be required to wear masks and asked to respect physical distancing requirements, one-way directional guidelines and occupancy restrictions. We ask that visitors to our trails travel in a clockwise direction and maintain a 6 foot distance from others. If you are feeling unwell, we ask that you please plan your visit at a later date.
We appreciate your continued support.
Currently, TWC is limiting occupancy of the Nature Center to 35 persons at a time; if there is a line, please visit briefly. Staff have the right to reduce this number if needed.

October 24, 2020 (Meeting Cancelled)
Time: 9:30 AM
Business Meeting: Election of Officers
Program: Hocking Hills Photography
Presenter: Don Holycross
Native Ohioan. Grew up in Logan County (Bellefontaine area) in west central Ohio. Bachelor Degree from Muskingum College with major in political science. Master Degree from Ohio State University in Public Administration. Twenty-two years as a Village or Town Manager in Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina. Now retired from city management. Living in Logan (Hocking County) in southeastern Ohio.
Serious photography work began 10 years ago. I specialize in photographs of the Hocking Hills, as well as other landscape, nightscape (Milky Way and moon), sunset, waterfall and macro (flower) images.
Most of my landscape photographs are high dynamic range (HDR) using up to seven exposures. I do that primarily to extract and preserve details in the shadows as well as the highlights. The multiple exposures are blended in Aurora or Photomatix and I post process in Lightroom, Nik Color Efex Pro and Photoshop. The post-processing is primarily dehazing, tone curves, brightness, contrast, and sharpening. For my presentation, I will cover that process and show comparisons with single exposure images and images that are not post-processed. I will also cover specific techniques that I use for my waterfall, Milky Way, moon, sunset, fireworks and flower photography.
My photographs are viewable at HockingHillsPhotography.com or on Facebook @HockingHillsPhotography.
