Pictured is Bruce Fingerson sharing his photography experiences during a reception at the Breckenridge Public Library on Wednesday, Jan. 24. He shared with the crowd about taking pictures of his step-sister’s wedding back when cameras still utilized film. He was nervous with photographing people. Since then, he chooses nature, he wants it to be something he can enjoy.
Breckenridge resident and photographer Bruce Fingerson was at the Breckenridge Public Library, Breckenridge, Minnesota, to present his work Wednesday, Jan. 24.
To those in attendance, he shared his experiences over the years capturing what many of us may not see when we find ourselves in nature.
Fingerson’s picture, ‘An Oriole and an Orange,’ was part of the exhibit that lasted from Monday, Jan. 12 to Wednesday, Jan. 24. The picture demonstrated what Fingerson learned in college about the rule of thirds, where the bird and the orange aren’t quite centered in the picture.
‘Great Horned Owl’ was taken at the Bois de Sioux Golf Course in Breckenridge, Minn., in 2021. Like Fingerson’s other picture, the owl is not quite centered in the frame, which adds a pleasant quality. He has learned that technique from studying photography.
‘Trees and Tracks’ showcases the wintry atmosphere of the Bois de Sioux Golf Course in Breckenridge. Fingerson also discussed how he never manipulates the subject of his picture, unless to move a branch or blade of grass.
