Isobel Wayrick Wildlife Art Gallery to Feature Work of Bernardsville Local, Joseph F. Pescatore

By Sarah Stapperfenne
From March through May, the Isobel Wayrick Wildlife Art Gallery will feature the work of Joseph F. Pescatore, a local Bernardsville resident and photographer. The Gallery is part of the New Jersey Audubon’s Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary also located in Bernardsville.
An avid birder and photographer, Pescatore brings to the gallery an innovative body of work created through a process known as digiscoping. This method of photography is ideal for capturing birds and other far away objects or animals because it involves attaching a spotting scope to a digital camera. Through digiscoping, Pescatore can photograph distant birds that he may not be able to get close to on foot, opening up a wide range of possibilities particularly of interest to wildlife photographers.
This exhibit will allow people to learn more about digiscoping and to see the types of images that can be captured through the method. The exhibit opens on March 1 and is free and open to the public.
The Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary is located at 11 Hardscrabble Road in Bernardsville. For more information, call 908-766-5787, email [email protected], or check out the Scherman Hoffman section of the NJ Audubon website at www.njaudubon.org.
