Jay Mangum will talk about light painting to enhance and highlight landscapes, with the added element of light from stars, the moon, pre-dawn or post-sunset glow, and in some cases artificial light sources over which we have little or no control such as street lights, car lights and city lights.
In the 1950’s, Jay’s father was an enthusiastic amateur photographer, developing and enlarging his own black and white work at home. Jay’s photo journey began at age 6, using a Brownie box camera to take photos of active steam locomotives alongside his Dad during the twilight years of steam.
Jay has carefully preserved his library of large format color slides taken of professional dragsters from 1965 to 1973 – a collection that is referenced today by racing historians. Magazines, books, calendars and websites have featured his work. Today, Jay’s primary photo interests are landscapes, travel and birds.
A resident of Kingwood since 1991 and a member of our club, he retired as an Account Manager for Otis Elevator Company in 2009. Career moves with Otis took him to several landscape photo opportunity regions including Denver, Tulsa, Savannah and Chattanooga. Jay and his wife, Jan, have 3 children and seven grand kids.
